THE HIGHEST MOUNTAINS ON EARTH.

There are fourteen mountains on Earth higher than 8,000 metres. They sit across the Himalaya and Karakoram and represent some of the biggest, most complex objectives in high-altitude mountaineering. The goal is simple to describe and considerably harder to execute: climb all fourteen.

THE NO-O2 QUESTION.

Where the mountain, conditions and expedition allow, there is another layer to the challenge: climbing without supplemental oxygen. It isn’t a blanket claim across the project. Each expedition stands on its own, with the style, decisions and outcome recorded honestly.
