Part 2: The World's Most Dangerous Climbing Areas

4. Mount K2

Mount K2, also known as Godwin Austen, Ketu and Chhogori, is located on the border of Pakistan and China, in the Karakorum mountain range. K2 Mountain, which is recorded as the second highest mountain in the world after Mount Everest with a length of 8,611 meters, is one of the most difficult mountains to climb. Many mountaineers wanted to climb K2 Mountain, but they were not successful.

Mount K2 is a mountain known for killing helping people more than climbers. These people, who are in charge of helping the mountaineers and carrying the necessary items, work on this mountain because they are very low-income and needy people, and every four climbers have one assistant, but the helpers often lose their lives while doing this job. Since one helper for every four climbers lost his life, even climbing to K2 Mountain was asked to be stopped, but the mountaineers did not give up their passion. The deaths experienced while climbing Mount K2 have decreased in recent years thanks to the development of technology and the experiences of mountaineers. The first successful climb to K2 Mountain was carried out in 1954 by Lino Lacedelli and Achille Compagnoni.

5. Kanchenjunga Mountain

Kanchenjunga Mountain is the third highest peak in the world with a length of 8,586 meters between India and Nepal.

The causes of death on Kanchenjunga Mountain are ice, avalanche and unpredictable weather conditions, but deaths on this mountain have decreased in recent years. The first successful climb to Kanchenjunga Mountain was undertaken by George Band and Joe Brown in May 1955.

6. Baintha Brakk Mountain

Baintha Brakk, which is another name for the word Ogre, which means giant in fairy tales, is a 7,285 meter long mountain in Pakistan.

This mountain, where there are many steep cliffs, becomes incredibly dangerous when combined with ice, but it continues to maintain its place as an indispensable for adrenaline enthusiasts. The first to climb Mount Baintha Brakk were Doug Scott and Chris Bonington.

7. Eiger Mountain

Eiger Mountain is one of the most famous mountains of Switzerland, which is located in Bern Alps in Switzerland and has a height of 3,975 meters. The northern face of Mount Eiger, which is known as a mountain climbed by mountaineers having the maximum level in terms of physical and technical aspects, is named "Killer Wall".

The first climb of Mount Eiger, where ice and rock falling are among the greatest dangers, was carried out in August 1858. After the first climb, Eiger Mountain, which witnessed many climbs, is still climbed.

8. Vinson Mountain

Vinson Mountain, also known as the Vinson Massif, is the highest mountain of the Antarctic Continent with 4,892 meters and is also in the category of Seven Summits where the highest mountain of every continent comes together.

Mount Vinson was conducted by the American Alpine Club as an expedition in 1966 with the financial support of the National Geographic Society and the United States Navy. Other climbing difficulties on Vinson Mountain, where high costs are the main climbing difficulties, are cold and storms and extraordinary conditions of the mountain.

9. Cerro Fitz Roy

Cerro Fitz Roy Mountain, a 3,406-meter-high granite mountain in the Argentine Patagonia in South America, is not dangerous in terms of altitude, but the mountain's granite surface, shape, and unusual weather conditions are extremely dangerous even for professional climbers.

While a hundred climbers can climb Mount Everest a year, only a few people can hardly climb Mount Cerro Fitz Roy. The first successful climb to Cerro Fitz Roy Mountain was made by Lionel Terray and his group in 1952, and the first successful solo climb was made by Thomas Bubendorfer in 1986.
