Have you wondered why climbing the Worlds hardest mountains has always been the passion and dream of many adventure mountaineers? There are hundreds of mountains in the world that are hard to climb yet a large no of people seems to travel to the hardest mountains to climb in the world. It's obvious that only the height of the mountains makes it hard to climb. Some adventure climbing routes can make one side of the mountain a cinch and another side nearly as impossible to climb. Climbing Mt. Lhotse Normal via the Normal Route is not much challenging as climbing Mt. Lhotse South Face Expedition is. Likewise Climbing the world's highest mountain Everest (8848.86 m) via the North is comparatively easy than the Everest Expedition from the South side (Nepal side). In the case of some mountains, weather can turn the climbing into a deadly climbing expedition.
It is considered that Cho Oyu Expedition and Kanchenjunga Expedition are prone to weather change rapidly in these regions, making the expedition the most challenging and harder to climb to the summit. Let's have a quick insight into 3 of the Worlds Hardest Mountains to climb:
Mt. Annapurna is one of the world's hardest mountains to climb and is rarely attempted to climb by mountaineers. Summit to the top of Mt. Annapurna is rare. This mountain is hard to climb as the climbing route overlays difficulty and steep terrain, unpredictable weather and is prone to avalanches. Due to these factors, Annapurna trekking Expedition is considered one of the most challenging expeditions in the world. Climbing to the summit of Mt. Annapurna expedition is not for inexperienced mountaineers as the climbing requires logistics and preparation to the highest degree. Although this mountain resides at an altitude of 8091m, the South Face is considered as hardest and challenging climb in the world.
Although Mt. Everest resides at a higher altitude in the world, Mount K2 Expedition is considered more difficult and challenging than climbing Mt. Everest. The expedition and climbing route to the summit of Mt. k2 is more inclined and is prone to more unpredictable weather and avalanches. The technicality and immediate steepness of the climb, lack of experienced climbing Sherpas to fix the ropes and ladders, and the logistics of the climb and trek make Mt. K2 more difficult even than the world's highest mountain.
Climbing mount Kanchenjunga is regarded as a difficult mountaineering adventure than Mt. Everest Expedition. The ascent to the summit of Kanchenjunga is a tricky and challenging one as the mountaineer and submitters need to prepare for the risk of falling ice and avalanche. It is highly recommended to plan and head to climb Mt Kanchenjunga with professional climbing guides and expedition leaders. Weather, climate and high altitude can go wrong anytime in the Himalayas, hence it is recommended to climb the extreme eight-thousanders mountains with highly experienced climbing Sherpas and guides
