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.
This might be a better idea idea than this video
It's probably one of the smaller mountains in the Trans-Antarctic Mountain range, AKA The Mountains of Madness.
I mean there's probably tons of smaller summits in Canada and Alaska that have never been climbed because they are remote and not noteworthy.
I would watch that video! Quick! Someone make a bot that spams their suggestions page with this suggestion!
See that mild hillock over there... I'd climb it, but it's too damn cold and I'm hungry.

Its not that amount that hike it each day. The picture your referring to was taken in a situation where there was just two days of good weather for summiting in many months, so tons of people went up in a short time
Each day ? Lol probably a month a year is when everyone is climbing it. The rest of the time the mountain is empty

I have no opinions on Tibet, since I'm a white boy with no stake in it, but I HAVE travelled there, and I'm happy to boost engagement by talking about the opinions of the people I met there.
In Tibet, quite literally everyone I spoke to identified as Tibetan first, but they vehemently insisted that they were also Chinese, because China rescued the Tibetans from slavery, apparently. Those monks were up to some really bad stuff, putting everyone into brutal serfdom, so the Tibetan people weren't exactly upset that the Chinese rolled in and ended that. Ultimately, they were super autonomous. It didn't FEEL like I was still in China - it felt like I was in a sovereign state - despite knowing I was. China has it's problems, as all countries do, but Tibet didn't seem to be one of them, at least not when I visited.
Also, if you wanna go the Dalai Lama route, I was told multiple times he was linked to the CIA, so when I got back to the states, I looked it up, and boy howdy... they were telling the truth. The Dalai Lama is on the CIA payroll (via a cut out agency called the National Endowment for Democracy, basically how the CIA openly funds stuff), or at least he was as recently as 2014. If the CIA is paying you, I just assume everything you say is a lie designed to make me want to blow up Muslim people. So, in short, I don't trust that bald child molester we call the Dalai Lama, and you probably shouldn't either.
Before having opinions on Tibet, you should go there and speak to the people. Don't listen to immigrants from Tibet - there's always a reason they left, and they'll almost always lie to you about why, because they know it wouldn't make them look good (hint: their parents/grandparents owned slaves).
I appreciate the honest and objective information. This guys basically just wants people to post comments so he can benefit from the algorithm. It's also funny how everyone's so hyped up about Tibet, rejecting to call it Xizang, while nobody is calling Okinawa as its native name, Ryukyu, or saying "Free Ryukyu" or "Free Hawaii." Welp they're justing using their so-called "justice" as disguise for their shadily prejudiced self-interest.
Short Answer: It's illegal.

Illegal to climb, so technically you can parachute onto the summit & descent? 🤔🤔🤔

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
Now you make me want to go mountain climbing in Colorado.
Colorado being in the US, there are two of those where you can just drive your car straight up to the top.
@@AxxLAfriku Hey look, the dumb bot liked his own comment.

What most non-climbers dont know is that for most climb-able mountains in the U.S., climbers generally pack their poop in a bag and carry it back down the mountain to be properly disposed of. We do that so that the mountains dont become a toxic waste dump. Also, we melt ice up on the mountain to drink, and no one wants to drink ice that may be laced with some previous climber's sh**. As long as you also stay away from the yellow ice, youre golden...or er...youre not.
that little joke at the end cracked me up
There must be a huge number of peaks in the Tibetan Plateau that have never been climbed, since the interior of the plateau is about 800 km (500 miles) from the nearest road and the valleys are about 5000 meters or 17,000 feet above sea level.
Yeah like most of the himalyas are unclimbed because the 14, 8 thousand meter peaks outshine them.

I've always wanted to know, what is the tallest-appearing mountain? Like Everest is the tallest, but the surrounding landscape isn't at sea level, so does it seem very tall when you see it in person? I expect Mt Kilimanjaro would be more impressive because of the way it suddenly lurches out of the flat savannah. I'm guessing prominence has something to do with that.
denali in alaska i believe
@@johndeaton4607 That seems like it would make sense, since it's a granitic pluton. What got me thinking about this was Mt Whitney; seeing it in person from Lone Pine, CA, you can hardly make it out compared to the neighboring peaks. But I was surprised at how striking Mt Shasta and Mt Rainier are. I think it's because they're isolated volcanoes, not just another peak in part of a mountain range.
Maybe Aconcagua
I think that nanga parbat rupal face is the most impressive. I never saw it live, but its the biggest vertical wall in the world, it has 4.5km. So it must look very tall.
Cristóbal Colón peak, in Sierra Nevada Santa Marta colombia is the highest coastal mountain in the world, I mean you see this giant from sea level to the top, it's only 6000mt tall but you gotta climb all that shit

Bhutan passed a law prohibiting mountain climbing? Well, how's little Johnny going to come home from school then?
You see, the Association of Bhutan's Schools (or ABS) found a legal loophole, where it's only illegal to *climb* a mountain.
Therefore, all Bhutanese schools are required to have a catapult with minimum dimensions of 4m by 6m, and it should be mobile, obviously, you need to be able to target every home in the village.
Therefore, once the bell for hometime rings, little Johnny and his friends get on the catapult one-by-one, curl into a ball, and enjoy the world's worst rendition of Angry Birds (like c'mon, there's no Angry or Birds).
And no, you cannot use it, as the catapult is forbidden for tourists.
@@spudowmahbrethren9392 I see.
No, it's fine, since they are punished by meters of elevation climbed daily. Since that way to school goes up and down the mountain the daily meters of elevation climbed up and down average out to zero.
Question, what about rolling up mountains?
Not in a vehicle, but in a fetal ball or a cartwheel.

Or how about mountain falling, involving parachuting from a high-altitude balloon to the peak, then just kind of letting gravity do its thing.
@@MonkeyJedi99 pretty sure that is the Far Cry 4 plot
It would be interesting to know the shortest unclimbed mountain!
You’d have to argue on the exact elevation a mountain starts being a mountain also that wouldn’t be interesting at all
I once walked up the world's tallest hill. I took me 8 minutes and I munched on a Mars Bar about half way to keep up my energy.
Different organizations consider different heigts for things to be called mountains. Sam actually alludes to that in this video when he mentions the 300-meter rule. So it would be whatever mountain is closest to that height without being below it
I was also wondering about that question.
That brings to mind the question I heard in a Moxie Fruvous song, "Which (US) state has the lowest highest point?"
(Meaning the highest point is that state is lower than the highest point in the other 49 states)

That diagram @1:13 is very misleading. Although mountain heights are measured from sea level to their peaks, by the time you get to the base camp of any mountain to start your climb you are already at least 5000m up from sea level, so for example for Everest you only actually climb from 5,400m to 8850m (i.e. 3450m) - so that diagram actually shows height from base camp to the top.

All countries should require two trips for each request of climbing a peak. The 2nd one is required to go up and collect all the trash you and others left and bring it down for proper disposal.
About Tibet, Tibet was annexed by the people’s republic of China around the time of the Korean War. Although Tibet is its own distinct region and has its own culture, it is not an independent country.
