Is there a mountain that's harder to climb than Everest?

Yeah, K2 right next door is supposed to be harder.  The Alps even have a few that are supposed to be harder.  Everest is the tallest, but that doesn't mean it is the hardest.

Everest, Mount, mountain peak in the Himalayas of southern Asia, considered the highest mountain in the world. Mount Everest is situated at the edge of the Tibetan Plateau (Qing Zang Gaoyuan), on the border between Nepal and Tibet.\nThe mountain was named for Sir George Everest, a British military engineer who served as surveyor general of India from 1829 to 1843, during which time the peak was surveyed. Everest was the first person to record the location and height of the mountain, then known as Peak XV.

I've been reading everything I could find on this -- including a couple of forums with posters who actually climb mountains (including Everest).  A few facts:\n\n1.  David Sharp made a bad decision -- he didn't take enough oxygen.\n2.  The people who passed him were on their way UP, not down.  They could have helped without endangering their lives (more than they already had by climbing that high).  All they would have jeopardized is their chance to reach the summit.  They put their bragging rights ahead of a human life.\n3.  Worth noting:  Sir Edmund Hillary has condemned their actions.  He says that he would have turned back -- even on his summit attempt (FIRST successful summit of Everest in 1953) -- no record, no bragging rights, are worth more than a human life.\n4.  For those who say he would have died anyways, I have only two words -- Beck Weathers.  Beck was left to die on Everest in that horrible 1996 disaster because he was so close to death they "knew" they couldn't save him.  Not only did he have frostbite, but he had lost a mitten and his hand was frozen.  The searcher had to break the ice on his face to tell that he was still breathing.  Since it was "obvious" that he would be dead soon, they concentrated on getting others out who had a better chance of survival.  They were a bit shocked when, some hours later, Beck stumbled into camp.  They tucked him up with hot tea and sleeping bags and went back to trying to save others.  They didn't think he would survive the night.  He did.  He is still alive -- minus both hands, an arm, and I forget how much other damage.  But he survived.  \n\nJust in case it isn't clear, I stand with Sir Edmund Hillary on this one -- there is no excuse for not trying to help a climber in danger.  David Sharp made some bad decisions -- he didn't prepare adequately -- the 40 people who passed him also made a bad decision when they put their egos over his life.\n\nOh ... wrathpuppet -- it's not the same guy.  The one your link points to is Lincoln Hall.  He was higher than David Sharp -- and they got him down.  He's alive.

Both A and B are correct, but they have different meanings.\n\nA)" It is very difficult for us to climb up the mountain", means \n      that it is really hard for us to climb the mountain, but we CAN\n       do it.\n\nB)" It is TOO difficult for us to climb up the mountain", means  \n       that it is difficult, so difficult that we cannot climb up the \n       mountain.   It is much too difficult for us to climb.\n\nHere is another example for you:\n\n Teacher:   "This test is very difficult to pass".\nYusheng:  " Don't worry.  I can pass it".\nBad Student: "  This test is too difficult for me to pass.  I could \n                            never pass this test.  It is too difficult".\n\nHope this answers your question.\nCheers!

It's definitely not the USA- Mexico is a lot tougher than us. I think it is Japan. (Because of the amount of people and the size of their country).

Mount Snow is a great place that is not too challenging yet has a variety of terrain.  Its a big mountain but you are able to ski and see it all.  Killington is a lot bigger but has many trails.  Check out Stratton which is a beautiful mountain, Okemo, Smugglers Notch (challenging terrain).  Those are in Vermont.  New Hampshire and Maine also have great big mountain skiing.

Himalayas.\n\nMt Everest is the highest mountain in the world at 8850m.\n\nThe second highest is K2 at 8611m. But it is not in the Himalayas, The range is the Karakorum.\n\nThe third highest is Kanchenjunga which is 8,586m and is in the Himalayas.\n\nSo technically your crossword is wrong!!

Africa.  I did it about 15 years ago with a company called Outward Bound.  It lasted 3 weeks.  2 weeks of which involved preparations, training and climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro.  It's something like 18,460 feet high.
