Why This 25,000 Foot Mountain Has Never Been Climbed 

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.

Butan's most popular energy drink is Mountain Don't

I love the people actually debating about Tibet... Wa- no don't stop It's boost in interaction!

Update on this video in 2024 A Czech team comprising of Zdenek Hak, Radoslav Groh, and Jaroslav Bansky reached the summit of Muchu Chhish on July 5, 2024 after a six day climb The new highest mountain unclimed which you can legally summit is Kabru (7,318 m)

*Summary of all mountains named:* Gangkhar Puensum (Butan, 7570m) Highest unclimbed mountain Attempted but the top was never reached Butan law now prohibits any mountain climbing due to lack of infrastructure and sacred land Muchu Chhish (Pakistan, 7452) Highest unclimed mountain you could legally climb Too dangerousdue to ice storms, narrow ridges and cliffs Not officially it's own mountain Sauyr Zhotasy (China, 3840m) Karjiang (Tibet, 7221m) The friends we made along the way (1.70m)

Wendover productions in a day: the logistics of climbing the worlds tallest unsummited mountain

"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

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

This video is out of date now since Muchu Chhish was climbed as of July 5, 2024.

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

Tibet, as everyone knows, has been a part of West Taiwan since ancient times...

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

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

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

Short Answer: It's illegal.

Of course you can't just bring Nature Valley Bars! You also need Clif Bars.

4:46 "But Tibentually..." I see what you did there

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.

3:20 I would not be surprise if this Czech mountaineers just used slippers and a trusty rope.

_"Ain't no mountain high enough"_ ...okay, maybe ONE.

The highest mountain that has never been climbed is Olympus Mons.

Bhutan: you cant climb this mountain. its really sacred and something else you will die and we cant save you because its going to be expensive etc etc etc Mountaineer finding this mountain: *going around tibet*

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

Personally, I believe that Tibet is a place that is located on Earth.

"it's no longer legal" LAWS PREPARE TO BE IGNORED

Congrats, Sam! I'm the first one to tell you that you're now wrong and that the highest unclimbed peak is [*insert name of newest, highest unclimbed peak here when it eventually happens*]

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.

“The Bhutanese government didn’t want the mountain littered with Nature Valley Bars…” 😂😂 too true, so great

25,000 feet is equal to 7.62 kilometres, by the way.

Wow, that was a great area of land you showed - maybe it should be its own country?

“A backpack full of nature valleys “ 😂🤣

“Places people have never been: the vast expanse of space, the majority of the ocean floor, Wyoming” 😂 that was a good one.

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.

you know were in the endgame where he does not start his video off with "This is a Half as Interesting Video made possible by Squarespace"

Tibet is rightful Mongolian territory! There that should solve the discussion.

FREE TIBET* *With a purchase of another Tibet of equal or greater value.

Mt. Kailash is also an Unclimbed Peak in recent history and is also considered holy by Tibetans, Indians and Nepali

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.

Free Tibet!* . . * - with purchase of another Tibet of equal or greater value

Bhutan passed a law prohibiting mountain climbing? Well, how's little Johnny going to come home from school then?

I recently did a 3515 meter climb and it was not that bad if you take it slowly. Just don't rush into it and enjoy the scenery.

I believe Reinhold Messner still has a valid permit by the Bhutan government to climb Gangkar Puensum, but he said that he will not use the permit in the future. Still - technically he could summit it legally, though he is pretty much the only one and declined to do so.

How did you determine the number of mountains on Earth? I want a video on that!

That land is Tibet. Illegally occupied by China.

I love how the Title Changes in different countries between metres and feet

It would be interesting to know the shortest unclimbed mountain!

That's probably where the Yeti be hiding his gaming den.

I've climbed on my friends, and now I don't have any. So I don't think it's that 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

As someone who lives in Daytona Beach, Im pretty sure nobody wants to move here

I never knew that the activity was called “mountaineering”. You learn something new every day.

A video I'd like to see is one on the most out of place skyscraper. Say, if there happens to be someplace where there's maybe an 80 story building, but everything else in the area is, maybe, 15 floors or fewer! Or maybe a 30 story building where there's nothing else taller than 2 or 3 stories.

In times of “the world is ending” media being everywhere, this channel needs to be renamed twice an interesting. Such a breath of fresh air (haha), this video is

"A two state solution would work for the China situation" I don't know about that, 2 Taiwan's seems like a lot of Taiwan's but ok

LETS RAID THE 25000 FT MOUNTAIN | 7/25/22 | THEY CANT STOP ALL OF US

The footage of happy Tibetans frolicking around in a marketplace(4:20. No joke)? Pretty sure that is somewhere in Nepal.

2:53 This makes me think of the "prestige" of owning an item that's no longer obtainable in an MMO. Good job, you played during a specific time frame, I'm sure that took a lot of skill on your part.

The truest unclimbed peak is the top of your own head.

Who's Tibet?

PLUTO IS A PLANET... wait, that wasn't the question

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.

What’s China? Do you mean West-Taiwan?

I got all the way to Tibet and realised I'd forgotten my jar of climbing cream.

I've been to Wyoming!!! It DOES exist.

I've actually climbed this mountain a few times, it's easy.

Tibet is a country :)

The fact that you included Karjiang in your video shows that you did your homework, Kudos!

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).

Well, I didn't make any friends along the way... what's the tallest unclimbed peak now?!

God, I love Tibet. Such a pretty place. I sure hope they have personal rights there.

Getting the 50-cent Army to comment is a great way to boost engagement!

It's Tibet which is supposed to be an independent country, which was occupied by China

Mons Huygens is the Moon's tallest mountain at 18,046 ft. Unlike Mars humans have been to the Moon but have never bothered to climb Mons Huygens yet.

I'm so glad that people are taking his advice and choosing not to start arguments in the comments! So nice of him to selflessly sacrifice his engagement metrics for the sake of our mental wellbeing

Free Tibet (you’re welcome Sam)

The truest unclimbed peak is the friends we made along the way.🤣

Update: Muchu Chhish was summited on July 5th, 2024 by Zdenek Hak, Radoslav Groh, and Jaroslav Bansky. The same Czech mountaineers who attempted it in 2020.

Why does every informational channel I watch post on about the same week every couple of weeks, it's like a cult

China? I've never heard of China. Tibet though, that's a country I'm very familiar with.

So in your opinion how hard of a climb would mt doom or lonely mountain be?

4:57 sounds about right xD

I'm pretty sure they're less concerned about Nature Valley bars and more concerned with human litter-- and by that I mean corpses littering the mountain past the point where it's reasonable to attempt to retrieve them. Literally there are corpses that have been considered trail landmarks on Everest.

How to make “Chinese people” mad. Correction, mainland Taiwan :)

There's an old Japanese saying that "only a fool climbs Mount Fuji twice."

you thought no planes were involved until 1:44 (look at bottom right)

i cant belive how they climbed way back in the old days. its so dangerous

The Andes also had a lot of unclimbed mountains, they are not hard to climb just hard to get there.

Ah, the old T**** Strategy of engagement, well played

But what's the *smallest* unclimbed peak?

To answer your question about Tibet, it has always been and continues to be an autonomous region of Bhutan

Hey guys, look! It’s Tibet!

Tibet and Mongolia were both illegally occupied in 1950. Mongolia was quite a bit earlier, but resisted the rule of the chinese until 1953, when they gave up the fight, but I understand why you didn't want to mention that. Even though there are "documents" with "signatures" handing over control to China...

Bhuton has claimed Gangkhar Puensum as sacred, and climbing is prohibited above 6,000 meters (20,000 feet). If someone eventually climbs it, they will get arrested when they come back down.

The incredible logistics of getting people to stop inserting "the incredible logistics of" into their comments would be nice. Almost as nice as seeing the country of Tibet in this video

who says the friends we made along the way cant be climbed

Tibet should be a country

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.

4:28 says Tibet and shows Nepal
