7 PEAKSSo Treacherous TheySteal Everest’s Thunder

This Himalayan peak has the highest

fatality to success ratio of 38%,

with the south face being

most treacherous.

ANNAPURNA I, 8000MNEPAL

KANCHENJUNGA, 8586MINDIA-NEPAL BORDER

Beauty at its beastly best! Once

thought to be the world's highest

peak, there's a high risk of

avalanches here.

K2, 8611MPAKISTAN-CHINA BORDER

Aptly nicknamed ‘Savage

Mountain'; K2 kills one climber for

every four who summit it & has

never been scaled in winter.

NANGA PARBAT, 8126MPAKISTAN

This 'Man Eater' boasts the

world's highest mountain face;

remains unconquered in winter

after 28 failed attempts.

EIGER (NORTH FACE), 3970MSWITZERLAND

The north face was first scaled

after more than 64 failed attempts

earning it the name 'Mordwand'

or 'Murder Wall'.

VINSON MASSIF, 4892MANTARCTICA

The highest point on Antarctica,

Its location alone makes it a

challenging and risky climb.

MELUNGTSE, 7023MTIBET

Melugtse has only been scaled

once; the elevation is deceptive &

its steep faces are extremely

difficult to maneuver.
