Muchu Chhish isn’t as difficult as other mountains (that have already been climbed), its just that it didn’t get many serious attempts in the past. Additionally, this brings another subject on the table, which is the highest legally open mountain to climb, and it does not necessarily mean its the most difficult place to reach. I can think of a few mountains in Tibet and Xinjiang, which are so remote and tucked away that they have never been seen except through satellite imagery.
@@idatethefatkid If you go to google maps, switch the map type to “Terrain”, and go to a location South-Southeast of Hotan Prefecture in China, you will notive a cluster of peaks belonging to the Kunlun mountain range. All of thise peaks aren’t even charted on any map, I’ve looked for over 5 years, but nothing. They are in a valley within a valley which is a long long way by foot from any inhabited area. While it is 140km away from Hotan, but that is the direct distance, the trekking distance is much longer. Further southeast of that location is Kunlun shan or Liugi shan, highest peak in that range, already conquered by a Japanese team a few decades ago.
@@ndmz903 its possible, although they would have needed to pass very steep valleys ian already inpossibly remote and desolate region (which is 4,500m on average in altitude) but i’d like to imagine there to be old remnants of some exotic tribe over there next to those peaks
I’d like to say that your video has inspired me an for 4 years now I’ve trained to climb Muchu Chhish. I just got back from summiting it yesterday. Thank you for your inspiration.
You could have included something about the islands in the Canadian arctic. Although some islands are accessible by air, I'm sure that quite a few of them would require a short sea voyage, only possible in the summer.
I have been following you since not so long ago and I love the way you talk and express your content. It's so intense and dedicated. Keep it up. Regards.

There are RU-vidrs who have been there and im pretty sure they let you in given that you follow their extremely strict rules. Getting out is probably harder than climbing mountains though
aura. 2:25 a boat visits with supplies every 3 months. Maybe they do farm their own but it looks like they still rely on supplies from the outside world
Here in Alaska there are many places just like this. Only accessible via plane or boats that also rarely visit. Thanks for giving us remote people some love my friend!
Pitcairn also gets a lot of supplies and support from New Zealand. Including NZ Airforce air drops at times. IE - mail and emergency medical and other supplies. Even a bulldozer has been air dropped in. As the Pitcairn Islands are a British overseas territory. Administered by the British High Commision in NZ. (The name for Embassies between Commonwealth Countries.) Therefore the British High Commissioner to NZ ( ambassador) who is also H C to Samoa (ie formally Western Samoa. Not American Samoa) is the Governor of the Pitcairn Islands. They also have a contracted supply/passenger ship based in Auckland NZ.
BJGvideos because your to dumb to know that high the air is to thin that the helicopter rotors are not effective, flying on that height 25,000 is a death wish...
Hmm awesome stuff thanks for sharing RLL! I'm thinking we're talking about two different things though; the hardest places to get to and the hardest places to bodily get to. i'm sure planes can deposit you on some of those mountains making them easy enough to get to - but bodily making those summits on your own would be very difficult. But then by that measure Pitcairn doesn't qualify because you need planes and boats to get to it because you couldn't swim there.
No, see San Francisco. The traffic is ass at the best of times, Hell on Earth at the worst, and the drivers from the "How to Hit n' Run pedestrians/other cars and get away with it" school of driving.
@@TimorDa no, what he said is: “we have explored less than 99% of the ocean” which could mean that we explored 98% of the ocean and that there is 2% that is unexplored, when in reality, if he used better wording, 99% of the ocean is unexplored and only 1% was explored. Go get English classes
camera probably wouldn't work...magnetic anomoly. A natural portal or possibly a sunken Atlantean temple/pyramid. Good question though...like how Eddie Bravo asks "why don't they film the flight to the space station?" maybe because NASA is just a front to funnel money into black projects...who knows, but that's the rumor.
Jasper Lufkin also becuase the pressure from the rocket taking off would smash any camera equipment not in the pressure sealed cockpit and they can’t risk and radio interference messing with the controls which could be disastrous for everyone onboard, same reasons why planes don’t like phones online while they take off
Blaniel Dack? . You need gas for.the helicopter. And I don't think it will last. If You fly the heli to the top of.the mountain, it is impossible BC of the winds.
Important to mention: the populations fo many of these remote areas are plagued by inescapable abuse. For instance, Pitcairn (population 49) suffered an intense child sexual abuse scandal where seven men living on Pitcairn Island faced 55 charges relating to sexual offences against children and young people. The accused represented a third of the island's male population and included Steve Christian, the mayor. I feel for the vulnerable people in these places who cannot escape their abusers.
Thank you for bringing this to light! Strange how nobody else, not even the OP of the video mentioned it. Silence. Crickets. Some articles that I found even say that 10 men were brought to trial and 9 plead guilty. So if we assume that the population of 49 people is somewhat evenly distributed sex-wise, but then that would indicate that, if we're generous, about 2 out of every 5 men are predators and would absolutely inflict horrific sex-based crimes if they knew they could get away with it. Food for thought!

@@hmahama1 it's hate love relationship between both countries. But the people themselves are always comparing each other even though we know you shouldn't compare things.
Mt Kailash is equally hard. It is in Tibet, which is hard to reach. This coupled with religious reasons makes it unlikely anyone will ever do so. It is considered sacred in Hinduism, Buddishm, Jainism and Bön.
5:05 If 223 people died trying to climb Mt Everest and 4,000 people have summited, that means one person has died for every 20 who summited. But it doesn't mean that 1/20 people who tried has died, because more than 4,000 people have tried. There is some number that tried but never made it to the top. 5:22 Same goes for the K2 analysis. How many tried to summit K2 but returned home without making it to the top?
The point he was making was specifically for the mountains peaks and how difficult it is to get to those peaks. All the people that have been to these mountains but didn't reach the peak are irrelevant for this specific ratio.
20th century: *Man dies trying to accomplish his life goal of reaching the peak of Mount Everest* 21st century: *There is now a line to climb Mount Everest*
No they're not...it's just your chances of success versus your chance of death. It never claims that it's deaths per attempt. That would be a completely different statistic.
@@gst013 No, he definitely screwed up the statistics. K2 for example: 300 successful, 77 deaths. He says "1 in every 5 people that have ever tried getting there has died while trying." Doesn't account for unsuccessful yet non-lethal summit attempts.
Pitcairn Island, eh? My great great great (not sure how many greats) grandfather on my mother's side moved there after having an argument with his boss at work. His name was Fletcher Christian and his boss was William Bligh.
One of my old neighbours had been to Pitcairn, his wife worked as a school teacher there. He explained to me how to get there and it was as you said, but once your ship gets to the island there is still no wharf! You have to take a longboat from the ship to get to the one tiny piece of the shore that isn't a cliff face. Also there are walking trees(!) on the island, they walk really slowly though, but are enough of a nuisance that the roads have to be changed periodically. The roads are just dirt tracks, because there are no cars, people there use motorcycles instead. The island might technically be British, but Britain sub-contracts out the governance of the islands to New Zealand.
I feel like Picarin is the kind of island a Bond villain buys out for billion dollars to construct a massive resort that hides some underground lair full of construction workers and doomsday devices.
This calculation for chance of death while trying to reaching the summit is completely wrong. There were many more people, which were not calculated, and they didn't die and didn't reach the summit.
DJ MeechyMeech Why would you be so attached to WRONG information? Fuck, how dumb can you get? You should be mad that the video contains incorrect information. You dumb shit.
Not to mention even his calculations are wrong. He states that 191 people have successfully climbed Mt.Annapurna and 61 people have died trying and said that this means 1 in 4 people have died trying he even said their is a 25% chance when in reality it’s closer to 1 in 3 (1 in 3.13)
For anyone curious like me, Bhutan banned climbing any mountain above 6000 m (20,000 ft) in 1994, and banned all mountaineering in 2003. Local beliefs see mountains as the homes of gods and spirits. Whatever one may feel regarding a religious policy, it has had the unintended benefit of keeping Bhutanese mountains unpolluted by human trash, feces, and possibly bodies (like Everest). So it turned out to be a great move for the environment as well as having pristine mountains to look at from numerous hiking trails.
Its very easy to get to reunion from europe, there are direct flights from france (as it is part of france). I've got a tough one for you, Chagos Archipelago, in the middle of the indian ocean, there are no flights or boats that go there. If you have your own boat theoretically it is possible, but you need permission in advance, which is very difficult. and shouldn't just show up since is protected by british navy.
The meter is a unit of measurement which is almost exclusive to the U/S of America. Much of the rest of the world uses the metre instead. JK. Surely the Tesla would be a real contender for a standard 21st Century measurement of length? It's somewhat larger than the Japanese Standard Corolla!
There are caves and regions inside bowls of mountains that are almost impossible to get to. Most of the hardest places to access are ones in which you’d least expect!
