- cratermoon 5y agotl;dr: some climbers have gotten "close enough" and called it good, or there are reasonable ambiguities about what is really the "summit". A few meters here or there matters in a strict sense, yet in the feats of climbing are forgivable. My take: If that last 2 meters are a needle of rock in the Death Zone, you can say you "climbed" the mountain, and accomplished a worthy athletic feat, but to "summit" the mountain, you need to find a way to scale that needle and at least put a hand on the point.
