"Muchu Chhish" in Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan is currently world's tallest mountain | Unique Knowledge


Muchu Chhish (7,452 metres (24,449 ft)) (also known as Batura V) is a mountain in the Batura Muztagh sub-range of the Karakoram in Pakistan. Located in a very remote and inaccessible region, only a handful of attempts have been made to reach the summit, none successful. The most recent attempt was in 2014 when English mountaineer Peter Thompson turned back at the 6,000 m (20,000 ft) point. Muchu Chhish is one of the tallest mountains on Earth that remain unclimbed and is the tallest one of all that is not off limits due to religious or political prohibitions. The peak has a modest prominence .however, rising only 263 m (863 ft) above the nearest col or pass. One of the longest glaciers outside the polar regions, Batura Glacier flanks Muchu Chhish to the north.

 

so it is the most dangerous and difficult mountain to climb.
