One more spectacular mountain, Mount Kailash[1] which is sacred to four religions also hasn't been climbed till now.
Though despite being sacred, PRC government had given permission to a team to climb which they later denied. Reinhold Messner had this to say about climbing it.
"If we conquer this mountain, then we conquer something in people's souls. I would suggest they go and climb something a little harder. Kailas is not so high and not so hard."

- throwawaysea 6y agoI really hope people respect that tradition and put aside the need to “conquer” nature. I worry that as these traditions and ancient cultures die out as modern homogeneity erases them, people will lose that sense of respect for what came before and break those unspoken rules.
