Yes, Kanchnenjunga is the only mountain where recently fatality rate increased and less than 250 climbers made it to the top. Seems like that is the ultimate challenge these days. Do you want to try? ;-)
- actuator 7y agoNot Kanchenjunga, definitely. :) I don't think I have the will to attempt any eight thousander right now. I will see if I can transition to 7k first.
- bitL 7y agoTry Cho Oyu, if you avoid crevasses/avalanches and react to your health state properly, it's the easiest one - base camp is at 5,700m, almost reachable by a car, then climb is "only" 2,500m. And there are only 5 higher peaks ;-)
- actuator 7y agoI looked at the prices and man, even Cho Oyu seems expensive to climb. With permits and everything it looks like $30-40k.
