deity's don't actually exist
they're things people believe in (like gods)

SPOILER ALERT
Build a Trade Depot anywhere on the map.  now hold Shift+D (Depot access display) while viewing a Z-level that has been completely untouched by miners.  All 'normal' stone areas will have big red D's all over them.  Any area with *any* sort of site feature will be blank (no D's).

Deities (plural of deity) are in fact, by definition, what you would call gods.

Peaks ARE mountains.
Serving a temple simply makes you worship their deity, causing the "talk to deity" option to appear.

 Not yet. Toady hasn't added that yet. Although I'm sure there is a bloat involving talking to a diety.

 Also, peaks are the ^ symbol. The triangles with empty insides are small foothills, and the filled triangles are high mountains.

Deity: Not yet.  Peaks are the highest mountains of the range, yes.  You can't climb at all in the literal sense anyway.  I'm not sure what you mean by "it will only let me climb them not the smaller ones" because..  it doesn't restrict you at all.  If you're talking about legends mode, of course it only lists peaks, the smaller ones aren't as tall, as you said.
Please add a little bit of grammar besides periods to your posts.  It makes things 100% more legible.  We can't help you if we can't understand you, you know?

When you say it won't let you climb anything but 'peaks and volcanoes', do you mean it's not giving you the little box that says you've reached the peak?  If so, that's intentional, only mountain peaks (represented by the '^' symbol) are tall enough to merit an award box.  Other mountains, like Duke said, are just foothills and 'normal' mountains.

Peaks and Dieties eh? Maybe you should be able to talk to the gods from the top of mountians where they can hear your calls for more cats and mules to Slaughter.

Rather than having them directly force you to mine adamantine, I would suggest that they give you strange moods that require adamantine. "Dig out the adamantine or Urist here goes insane and dies" is suitably vicious.

(It occurs to me that you can probably get "Lovecraft" as the random name of your fortress. That's when you know you're screwed.)

This thread inspired me to attempt climbing one of the peaks, sadly my human climber was assaulted by batmen near a chasm and lost both his eyes, two fingers and an ear.. He's still alive and struggling though.
