10 Most Dangerous Mountains
January 28th, 2008 Wade
I wish I would have thought of this one myself. The Gear Junkie has posted the 10 Most Dangerous Mountains on his website. I think the list is pretty comprehensive. Although I’m sure that the Trango Towers might argue that they should be on there. But all in all, a great list.
I noticed that Mt Washington in New Hampshire made the list. I climbed Mt Washington several years ago in the summer. Now it is pretty dangerous in the winter, with extreme temps and the highest recorded wind speeds in the US. But in summer it’s just a hike and a scramble for anyone in good physical shape. Hit it up if you can. Then you can say you climbed one of the 10 most dangerous mountains in the world.

I made the same comment about Mt. Washington when I posted this in my blog a week or so before the Gear Junkie. I had no idea it was on of the “Most Dangerous”. Makes sense that it can be bad in Winter, but isn’t that the case with nearly every mountain?

Yeah I think Washington gets all the attention because it has set records for wind and temps. But I’m with you Kraig, it’s not too tough in the warm months. Many mountains can be rough in Winter.

I was surprised by Mt. Washington and Mt. Fuji, but I think the blogger was looking at the number of deaths. One of the reasons Washington has that status is because of the accessibility to us Mericans.
