What about the smallest unclimbed mountain? That seems more impressive. It must be pretty nasty for no one to have bothered even though it's not that big.

If there was anyone in Wyoming I'm sure they'd be offended.

Remember, "The truest unclimbed peak is the friends we made along the way."

My friend was dealing with some Chinese players on arc invading his base and what not. They were streaming so my friends solution was to put a sign by their base saying "free tibet" and they immediately logged off. I lost it when he told me about it

"Much like frosted tips, no one has dared attempt it since the 90's"

Wonder how many people with frosted tips are watching this right now

At 4:30 "If you're going by ALTITUDE..." then you are applying a misnomer that only a mountaineering pedant might notice. If you are going by ELEVATION however...

Alternatively, Olympus Mons could be considered the tallest mountain never to have been climbed

Mount Everest does not have an escalator but they did install ladder a few years ago at a particular choke point. It really is amazing to see the line of people that hike it each day.

Here in Colorado, we have what are called 14ers. As the name suggests, these mountain peaks are at least 14, 000 feet above sea level. I’ve done two, and it’s so breathtaking to be that high above treeline.

But even at 14, 000ft, you can feel the effects of thin air and altitude wearing you down. I can’t imagine doing something 24, 000, that’s just insane

Mount Kailash in Tibet and Sarwali Peak in Kashmir are two unconquered Himalayan mountains, both with a great spiritual history.
