Which mountain is the most difficult to climb?
Which mountain is most difficult to climb?
The query is illogical; geographical scales and geological
structure give proof of slopes and gradients on all ridges across
Planet Earth, but it is a matter of opinion as to which mountain is
the most difficult to climb. One face of the Matterhorn is nearly
vertical, and almost entirely impossible to scale effectively; the
high altitude at the top of Everest is dangerous to say the least
and K2 is generally considered as extremely hard to overcome, more
so than most others, but there is no direct answer to the question,
unfortunately.
However, one could say Mauna Kea is the most difficult, because
the largest proportion of it is submerged by water.
