Mountains always challenged a man, managon him and teased with her inaccessibility. And, as is not tragic, not all of those who take this challenge and goes to conquer the tops, then returns back. Some remain the prisoners of the mountains forever, warned the one who will follow their footsteps.
Every year the mountain causes the death of tens of people. Owls and avalanches, blizzard and disrupting clothes from the body wind - it seems that nature itself does not want people to disturb her stone giants. But those who want to climb the next vertex does not become less from this. And today you are a dozen deadly vertices, the conquest of which turns into a real Russian roulette.

Everest

Location: Nepal, China. Himalayas
Height: 8 848 m

Everest is a modern Calvary. Everyone who needs courage and decides to get on a breathable grave mountain, knows - a chance to return may not fall. This will certainly remind the bodies of those who are no longer destined to descend. Of the more than 7,000 who rose to Everest are officially considered to be the dead about 250 people. IN percentage ratio This figure is not so great, but statistics cease to calm down and turns around the nightmare when you climb and see the bodies of those who also believed in their invulnerability.

Annapurna

Location: Nepal. Himalayas
Height: 8 091 m

The best Annapurna describes the words of the American climbership Ed Vitus: "Annapurna represents one solid danger, completely covered with ice. One big piece of ice with ice-growing on it. And the question is, in which direction the next thigh, forward or backward will be turned ". Annapurna is considered to be one of the most dangerous mountains. About 40% of climbers who tried to conquer it, and remain lying on her slopes.

Mont Blanc

Location: France, Italy. Alps
Height: 4,695 m

Mont Blanc or White Mount - The highest array in the mountain ridge and the highest peak in Europe. Among the climbers Mount Mont Blanc is not considered particularly dangerous for climbing, however, for some ominous irony, fate beats mortality records. For the history of climbing, numbering more than two centuries, the slopes of the White Mountain took the lives of several thousand climbers - a figure, to which far from Everest.

Nang Parbat

Location: Pakistan. Himalayas
Height: 8 126 m

Before Everest gained its popularity among climbers, it was Nanga Parbat that ranked the championship in the number of kalolazes in his slopes. For what got the nickname Mount Killer. In 1953, trying to reach her vertex, 62 people died at once. Since then, apparently, the mountain thicked her thirst for blood. To date, mortality has decreased significantly - up to 5.5%.

Kanchenjanga

Location: Nepal, India. Himalayas
Height: 8 586 m

This is the third highest mountain in the world. Kanchenjanga is a real nightmare of the climbers, as the weather takes place all the time and then avalanches are broken. Only 190 Obelchitsa managed to climb the top of Kanchenzhanga, and the mortality among climbers here reaches 22%.

K2.

Location: Pakistan, China. Himalayas
Height: 8,614 m

Mount K2 or Chochi provides maximum extreme conditions For climbing. This mountain does not know the mercy and does not forgive mistakes - every fourth climber trying to her top dies. In winter, climbing is not at all possible. Our compatriots contributed to the history of ascents on K2. On August 21, 2007, Russian climbers managed to go through the most complex route, according to the impassable western side of the vertex before that time.

Eyar.

Location: Switzerland, Alps
Height: 3970 m

Eyar is considered one of the most deadly peaks of the world, despite its insignificant height. Often it is also called "Button". Big challenges for climbers are turned around incredibly large height difference and constantly changing weather. For a half years of climbing, the top claimed 65 people.

Fitzroy

Location: Argentina, Chile. Patagonia
Height: 3 359 m

This majestic granite peak is both the most disadvantaged and one of the most dangerous mountain peaks. During the year, only one successful climb occurs here. Before the climb, there are two problems at once: first, to get to the top you need to overcome a drinking plot of cliffs with a height of 600 meters, and secondly, the rainy weather, which can hold on weeks may generally beat off every desire to climb on the rocks. In addition, it is possible to climb on Fitzra from December to February - the summer months in the southern hemisphere.

Massif Vince

Location: Antarctica
Height: 4 892 m

The highest Mountains of Antarctica are not considered in the climbing medium too complex for climbing. Since 1958, about one and a half thousand people have risen on their vertices. The most difficult thing is to get to the massif. Antarctica is a suitable place for penguins, but people frozen to death or kill in Barana here easier.

Matterhorn

Location: Switzerland, Italy. Alps
Height: 4 478 m

One of the most difficult to conquer peaks in the Alps - its northern slope is generally considered to be unavailable and technically difficult for conquest. Unlighten the rise of frequent avalanches and stonepads. However, in 1865, the vertex of Matterhorn conquered twice immediately. True, the first group of four fell into the abyss due to the cliff of the cable.

Mountains maniled man with their greatness and inaccessibility over the centuries. The peaks of the coolest peaks of the world tried to conquer a huge number of climbers and lovers of extreme sensations. Not all of them were returned home, unfortunately. Someone remained there, in the steep, dangerous mountains, as if feeding the sign to others that the climbing on tops can be dangerous. When climbing on one of the most complex mountain peaks of the world, dozens of people die every year.

Avalanches, collaps, blizzards, strong winds, steep slopes of mountains and adverse weather adds significantly to a person of difficulties when overcoming mountain peaks. The human body that has not passed the necessary preparation, at the height of the mountains of 5,000 meters begins to experience difficulties. Such difficulties are manifested as:

• oxygen shortage;
• reduction of adaptation;
• general malaise;

An even greater test is an altitude of 8,000 meters above the marine level, in this person significantly decreases the amount of oxygen, in the body there is about 30% of the required norm, which is extremely dangerous for health. The most dangerous mountains are those where the physiological atmospheric zone ends.

You can think from the side to think that nature creates obstacles to a person on purpose, as if he does not want to be disturbed. But no less than those who want less, to surprise. People collect expeditions from experienced and not very climbers, go to mountain peaks With better equipment. The steep peaks of the most dangerous mountains in the world want to conquer the greatest lovers of extreme. This ascent is dangerous and unpredictable, you never know what everything can end, will be able to return home.

3. Everest is a dangerous peak of the world.
4. Winson is the highest in Antarctica.
5. Eiger - Northern Wall.
6. Dhaulagiri - Eaters Mountain.
7. Nanga Parbat - Climbing Tests.
8. Choir - maximum extreme.

Kanchenjang - cool and dangerous

Mountain array is located in India and partly in Nepal, is part of national Park with the name of the same name. Height ranks third in the world, the climbers are afraid at the same time and want to conquer. There is constantly bad weather, unsuitable for climbing, the gates of avalante constantly occur. Only 190 people were able to climb to the top, the mortality rate is 22% and, unfortunately, it only increases. Kanchezhangu is also called the mountain of five treasures, its height is 8,586 meters above sea level.

It was uncompaired until 1955, there are still no routes, paths, paths. In Nepal, there is even a legend that Kanchenzhanga is a mountain-woman who kills all women who tried to conquer her tops. The only woman who was able to climb to the top and go back, was a mountaineer from Britain named Jenet Harrison. Such a peculiar feat was performed in 1998. But after 1.5 years she died during the climbing of Dhaulaagiri.

Mont Blanc is one of the most popular peaks.

On the territory of the Western Alps is Mont Blanc, it is also called the White Mountain. It is part of the Alpes system, its height is about 5,000 meters. The first ascent dates back to 1786. Two catastrophes occurred on Mont Blanc, during which 48 and 117 people died, they were all passengers of aircraft. Under the mountain there is a tunnel, which connects Italy with France, its length is more than 11 kilometers. In 1999, a truck caught fire here, a fire began, passengers of other cars in the tunnel died. The fire burned around 53 hours, 39 people died.

Alpinists are very dangerous to the top, but still this place beats records by mortality. Around two centuries were climbed here, as a result of accidents, several thousand were killed during this period. All due to the systematic gathering of snow avalante, weather conditions, unpredictable for humans. Even Everest to such an indicator far. Ski famous resorts are located near Mont Blanc:

• Kurmayor
• Chamonium

Everest - High and Dangerous

The shape of the mountain is similar to the pyramid with three faces, the most cool is the southern slope. On him and his ribs are not held fir, snow, so they are constantly naked. Everest is a very attractive object for climbers around the world who are trying to rise there round year. To conquer it, it will take about 2 months, during this period the acclimatization stage includes the installation of the camp. On average, the person during the expedition to Everest loses 10-15 kg. In the spring, due to the lack of monsoon, it is more favorable to rise, you can try in autumn.

Another name of the jomolungma vertex, Shengmoufeng, Sagarmatha. It is recognized as the highest mountain in the world and the most dangerous for ascent. Height above sea level is 8,848 meters. There is the most difficult to climb the mountain in the Himalayas, the rud of Mangalur Himal. Nepal's territory, Tibetan AO occupies the southern peak of Everest, North is in China.

Gradually, the number of rising to the top grows, so in 2012, the climbing of Everest made 234 people. The preparation and equipment, Jomolungma is very important - a very serious test for a person, even the most experienced climbers. The plot of the last 300 meters is the most difficult to overcome it, you need to rise to a smooth, very steep stone, constantly covered with dry, loose snow. Most dead remain in the snow in the snow, because they evacuate them very difficult.

Winson - Non Support But Dangerous Top

A mountain of 4,892 meters high is located in the territories of Antarctica. Among the climbers in general, it is not considered the most difficult in the world, but it is extremely difficult to climb that Massif Winson himself. You can easily disappear in the snowy bean, freeze to death.

Located in the West of the Southern Pole, is the highest point of the Ellsuworth Mountains. One of the most complex mountains stretches for 20 km, all approaches to it are solid glaciers, in some places their thickness is 4,000 m.

Eiger - Dangerous Northern Wall

Despite the height of only 3,962 m, this vertex is recognized as one of the most dangerous, complex in the world. Death wall, which stretches up 2 km, is the most dangerous part. Systematically from Eger, blocks of ice, which scorify down. In 1938, Eiger was subored for the first time.

The route is very complex because of a strong height difference, unstable weather. Eiger was called to God, 64 people died here for all the years of climbing.

Dhaulagiri - White Pendant Peel

The height of this multiple giant is 8,167 meters, people nicknamed her altitude, because 16% of everyone died here, who tried to conquer Dhagalgiri. The cause of everything is strong, frequent avalanches. The southern side of the mountain is generally impregnable, it is not suitable for lifting. But it does not stop the desperate extremals. Dhaulagiri is recognized as the seventh in the world in height of the eight thousand.

Nanga Parbat - Naked Mount

This is the highest mountain slope of the world, located in the north-west of Himalayas, its height is 8,126 m. From the south side of 4,600 m height, there is a very narrow ridge to get to the top of the mountain, it is necessary to overcome it. Mountaineering Hermann Bul Nanga Parbat was conquered for the first time in 1953. He spent 40 hours for climbing, while he did not need additional oxygen and ice ax.

Another 263 people committed after it a rise to one of the most complex mountains of the world, of which 64 were killed. The mortality rate was 21%, but gradually decreases. No wonder this complex peak called the murderer, the human absorber. In the first place in the number of those killed to Everest was Parbat.

Chechri - technically complicated

The second in height of the mountain peak of the world was still nicknamed. This world eight-year-old is the most northern of all. Located on the border of Pakistan and China, in the Baltoro Ridge, the Mountain System Karakorum, North-west of Himalayas. Technically climb here it is very difficult, even harder than on Everest. Until 2008, 284 people rose to K2, 66 were killed, the percentage of mortality of 25%. Everyone who climbed Choiri in the winter could not achieve their goal.

Annapurna - Majestic Goddess of Himalayas

The name is translated from Sanskrit as a "goddess of fertility." This complex for climbing, a steep mountain in Nepal. Annapurna is part of the main Himalayan ridge from the southern Schog. All mountain array There are 13 vertices, whose height is more than 7000 m, 16 with a height of more than 6000 m. The climber from America described this vertex as: a continuous danger, completely covered with ice.

The most dangerous of all eight-thousanders, the mortality rate of climbers before 2012 was 32% here, today it decreased a little.

It was Annapurna who became the first mountain of more than 8,000 meters high, where the person climbed the first time. It was an expedition from France in 1950, which consisted of two people. To go down, they spent 14 days, while as a result of strong frostbite lost their fingers on their feet, one frosting hands. Their climbing is recognized as one of the most outstanding achievements in the entire history of world mountaineering.

Matterhorn is one of the most dangerous

Of all the peaks in the Alps this is the most complicated. Matterhorn's northern slope is recognized as impregnable, ascent is extremely complex. Climb is very hard and dangerous due to frequent snowfalls, avalanche, stonepads. In 1865, it was lucky to conquer the vertex to two groups at once, but one of them died due to a cable cliff during the descent.

Mountain is popular with its unique form, it looks like a horn, which grows straight from the valley. Matterhorn is on the border of Italy with Switzerland, in the Alpine Picturesque Area, Penninsky Alps. Fear inspired by people from the top, very complex technically climbing did not allow to conquer the mountain for a long time. Among the main alpine peaks, it became one of the most recent people to conquer. Today it is a popular object for climbers, every year thousand people are trying to get to the top. The most popular route through the ridge of Hernley on the part of Zermatt. Another route is on the ridge of Lyon. The rest of the walls and crests people dared to conquer rarely due to high complexity.

It is worth noting other dangerous mountain peaks of the world's continents:

• Punchk-Jay, the highest point of Oceania and Australia, whose height is 4,884 m, is located in Indonesia. It's not easy to climb here that it particularly attracts extreme climbers, because technically it is very difficult;
• Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, height 5 895 m. About 40,000 people are trying to climb it annually;
• top Akonkagua in Andes, 6,959 m. Not all climbers consider it difficult, but very high risk will suffer during lifting;
• Mac-Kinley Mountain (Denali), coming here to conquer the vertices preferably in the period from May to July. Then weather conditions are more or less normal. Mac-Kinley is located in North America.

Mountains manit man, challenge him. Some of the people call are accepted. But not everyone is returned. There are among the climbers and the rating of the Mountains of the murderers, to conquer which is extremely dangerous.

Annapurna

Location: Nepal. Himalayas.
Height: 8091 m.
Annapurna was conquered first of all 14 eighties. This happened, however, by chance. The group of French climber Maurice Erzog went to conquer another peak - Dhaulagiri, but after the reconnaissance, decided that you could conquer another mountain. She was Annapurna, the northernmost peak of Himalayas. The ascent took place on June 3, 1950. The conquered vertex "took its own" and from the French group. All members of the expedition were frostbite, Mauris Erzogu throughout the descent had to amputate fingers on their hands and legs.

The French group is still lucky. To date, one and a half hundreds of ascents were committed to Annapurna. In the history of the peak conquest, the mortality rate of climbers amounted to 41%, which is extremely much. For comparison - in Everest, this coefficient is only 7.4%. It should be borne in mind that only experienced climbers go to Annapurna, while Everest is trying to conquer everything, who has enough money in the wallet.
The American Extra-Class Ed Vitus climber, who conquered all 14 eight-thousanders, left Annapurnu "for dessert". His impressions of this mountain are interesting: "Annapurna is one greater danger, it is covered with ice. One big piece of ice with ice growths on it. And the whole question is, in which direction the next growth, forward or backwards will be rejected.

Location: Pakistan and China, Karakorum.
Height: 8614 m.
K2, Chochi, or the Dopshang is considered the second difficulty of climbing the vertex on Earth, it is inferior to only the already mentioned Annapurna. Moreover - Choiri is also the second top of height (after Everest), but in terms of the difficulty of conquest, much superior to Jomolungma.

K2 was discovered in 1856, but it was able to conquer it almost across the century, in 1954, the Italian expedition under the leadership of Ardito Dezio. Interestingly, in 1902, the famous occultist and climber Alister Crowley, but the top did not give him the attempt to conquer the mountain
As of mid-2008, 284 people visited the top of this mountain, 66 were killed while trying to climb. A large number of Climbers have died on the way back. The death rating of this terrible peak is 25%, that is, every fourth of those who tried to conquer K2, died.
In the history of climbing on the Choir, the Russians left a marked track. The route that our climbers managed to overcome August 21, 2007 is considered the most difficult. The Russian group rose to those who were considered an impassable western Wall vertices. In winter, K2 failed to conquer anyone.

Nangarbat.

Location: Pakistan, Himalayas.
Height: 8125 m.
Nangarbat is called the "mongo killer" and "the absorber of people." This is the most western peak of Himalayas. Nangarbat began to collect his mournful statistics on the first attempt to conquer her - in 1895 she "swallowed" the best climbers of his time British Albert Mammery. Since then, according to statistics for 2011, Nangarbat took the lives of 64 climbers. In total, Nangarbat was able to conquer 263 people. The mortality rate of this vertex is almost 23%. Each fifth climber who daring to challenge the mountain, died.

The reason for such high mortality, people pragmatic are embraced by an extremely unfavorable amount of climatic factors in the area of \u200b\u200bthe mountain - the arid climate at the foot causes a huge difference in temperature. The weather is from this very unpredictable, and deadly avalanches are also frequent.
Recently, unpleasant fame strengthens the "Human Factor". In June last year, the Mountain Mountains Camp, the Taliban militants were attacked. As a result, 10 people died.

Nangarbat, however, magnetically attractive - this mountain has the highest absolute height. Going close to the grief can be seen on a wall of 4, 5 kilometers high.

Kanchenjanga

Location: India, Himalayas.
Height: 8586 m.
The third highest eight-thousandth of the world, the most east of them. The first in 1905, the mountain tried to conquer the already mentioned Alistair Crowley. Did not work out. We conquered Kanchenjangu only after 50 years. In the entire history of the climbing, only 187 people were safely reached. Of these, only 5 were women.

It is believed that Kanchenzhanga is a mountain-woman, so she kills the climbers who daring her to conquer.
The mortality rate of this peak is 22%. Contrary to statistics, which, in the case of all other mounts, seeks to reduce, with Kanchenjanga, on the contrary. Year of the year Mountain takes new lives. By the way, this mountain was remarkably portrayed Nikolai Roerich in the picture with the same name. Thug.

Location: Switzerland, Alps.
Height: 3970 m.
The only Western pinx in our ranking. Despite his seemingly insignificant height, Eyar is considered one of the most deadly peaks of the world. For the first time, Eyar will conquered a person on August 11, 1858. Multiple routes lead to the top of the mountain. The most difficult is the route on the northern wall of Aigar. For the first time it was passed on July 24, 1938. The complexity of the route in an incredibly large height difference and in very unstable weather on the northern slope. During the years of climbing, the peak claimed 64 people.

On December 11, the International Mountain Day was celebrated by the decision of the 57th UN Genas Assembly in January 2003. In total, there are 14 eight-thousandnesses on Earth. It all managed to conquer them only 30 climbers. But attempts do not stop, and annually, rising to the tops, dozens of people die ..

Jomolungma (8848 meters)

Everest (Jomolungma) is the highest top of the planet. She lies in China. The highest mountain of the world has the shape of a triangular pyramid. The southern slope is sharper, snow and frang on it are not held, so it is naked.

The climate on the Third Pole of the World is extremely harsh. The temperature on the top never rises above the zero of degrees Celsius, at night it can go up to minus 60 degrees. In addition, on Jomolungma, the wind is often not uncommon to 55 meters per second.

Everest, being the most high vertex The world, at the same time is not the most difficult for ascent, but still quite dangerous. In the entire history on the slopes of the mountain, about 250 climbers died.

For the first time a man's leg stepped on the top of Everest in 1953. "The Third Pole of the World" then conquered the participants of the British expedition. Soviet climbers for the first time climbed to Everest in May 1982 (more about it - in the site).

Choir or K2 (8611 meters)

K2 - the second highest after Everest of the Peel of Peace, technically this is one of the most complex mountains of the world. The northern eight-year-old is on the border of Kashmir (Pakistan) and China. The first successful climb was performed only in 1954 by the Italian expedition under the leadership of Ardito Desio, despite the fact that attempts to conquer the vertex were taken since 1902.

Our compatriots managed to climb Chochi in the Northern Rebra in 1996. The expedition under the leadership of Ivan Susharin was composed of climbers from Tolyatti, Ulyanovsk, Novosibirsk, Chelyabinsk and Severodvinsk. One of the participants in the expedition Igor Benkin died.

From the memories of Dusharina: "The complexity is that as the entire body begins to refuse the whole organism, including the brain. You can feel very well, but it's worth a little" swept ", and the consequences may be catastrophic - the blood refers Oxygen from the brain to the muscles and you can "float". It is possible that something like that happened with Igor ... ".

According to statistics for every four successful climbing on K2, one death accounts for. Until the middle of 2008, 284 people visited the top, 66 were killed. Expeditions on Chochi are sent only in the summer season. Attempts to conquer the vertex in the winter were, but none of them were crowned with success.

Annapurna (8091 meters)

Of all the eighties, Annapurna was conquered the very first. Successful ascent was committed by a small French team in 1950 under the leadership of Maurice Erzog. All members of the expedition received frostbite, the Erzogu was amputated fingers on their hands and legs. It is curious that the group initially did not plan to go up to Annapurna, the climbers went to conquer another peak - Dhaulagiri.

The first Russians rising to the mountain, Nikolai Black and Sergey Arsentiev became the first Russians. It happened in 1991. Annapurna is considered one of the most complex peaks to climb. According to statistics, each fourth conqueror, never returned.

When climbing Annapurna, the legendary Soviet mountaineer Anatoly Breuryv was killed. On December 25, 1997, at an altitude of 6000 meters of Bukreyev, Italian Simone Moro and the film operator Denis Sobolev covered avalanche. Only Italian Moro survived from three, afterwards the book "Comet over Annapurna", dedicated to Bukrev.

Nangarbat (8125 meters)

Nangarbat (Other Nanga-Parbat name) is the most western peak of Himalayas. Along with K2 and Annapurna, enters the top three most dangerous to climb eight-thousand. Mortality - 22.3% in relation to the number of vertices. As of 2011, 64 climbers died there.

The first attempt to conquer Nangarbat was undertaken in 1895 by the Anglicin Albert Mammery. However, she was not crowned with success, the whole team was buried under avalanche at an altitude of 6400 meters. The German American Expedition of 1932 was also unsuccessful. Then the climbers managed to climb 7850 meters. The strongest storm prevented the strongest storm. During the descent, nine members of the expedition were killed.

To conquer Nangarbat only in July 1953. Climbing almost alone made a member of the German-Austrian expedition Herman Bul. During the rise, he had to swell under open sky At an altitude of more than 8000 meters - the case is unprecedented.

Kanchenjanga (8586 meters)

The third in height of the eight-thousandth of the world is located on the border of Nepal and India, in the Himalayas. From 1905 to 1931, four attempts were made to conquer the top. They were all unsuccessful. The German expedition advanced, the climbers managed to climb 7700 meters above the mountaineers. Conquered Kanchenzhangu in 1955 British Joe Brown and George Bend.

In 1989, the participants of the Second Soviet Himalayan Expedition under the leadership of Eduard Myslowsky commit the first in the history of the traverse of all four eight-thousand vertices of Kanchenjangi.

Trying to conquer the highest mountain of the world - Everest, hundreds of climbers lost their lives. Many believe that Everest is not only the highest mountain in the world, but the longestly dangerous when lifting. This is not quite so. Approximately 3,000 climbers successfully reached the peak of Everest, including a 13-year-old blind child and a 73-year-old woman, who this month beat her own record of the oldest female climber. This selection is five mountains, which are believed to be more deadly for climbers than Everest.

1. Kanchengang India

28,169 feet (8,585.9 meters)

The climbers tried to troubloschenzhangu, the third highest mountain in the world, for fifty years, but were able to achieve her higher Point Only in 1955. Mountain, which is famous for permanent snow avalanches and rainy weather, has no routes or paths. The mortality rate on this grief since the 1990s reached as many as 22%. Only 187 climbers were able to get to the top of Kanchenjangi.

2. K2 (Chogri)

Located between China and Pakistan.

28,251 foot (8,611 meters)

The K2 is guilty of the death of one of four climbers who get to the highest level. Conquer the Holy Grail of Mountaineering - it means to deal with coolest, more icy slopes and less predictable weather than on Everest. Since 1954, 2880 people conquered Mountain. Since 1939, dozens have been registered deaths, most of which happened during the descent. The mortality rate on this grief, starting from the 1990s, reached 19.7%

3. Annapurna

Central Nepal

26.545 feet (8,091 meters)

Starting from the first lift in 1950, only 130 people rose on Annapurna, and approximately 53 died, trying to climb there. This mountain takes 10th place among the most high mountains World. But despite this, it has a mortality rate of 41% (this is almost like 50/50)

4. Nangarbat, Kashmir

26,657 feet (8126 m)

Mountain has a nickname "man's absorber". Nangarbat - Ninth Most big Mount in the world. The wall of the ice on its south side hypnotizes climbers starting from the first successful lift in 1953. Mountain could conquer 263 people and 62 people died, trying to do it. (Most of the deadly cases occurred until 1953). The mortality rate is 5.5% (Everest 4.4)

5. Eiger, Switzerland

13,000 feet (3.962 meters)

Translated from German, Eiger - means cannibal. Mount Eiger is not the highest, but it did not prevent her from acquiring a reputation as one of the most deadly dangerous mountains of the world. Most dangerous place Here - "Death Wall", the length of which is 6,000 feet (2 kilometers). This gap is dangerous in that it often falls the boulders of melting ice, so it is safer to rise during the coldest months. For the first time the mountain was conquered in 1938. Trying to conquer the mountain killed 64 climbers.
