Perhaps some things should remain unclimbed.

Egotistical self centered dumb-ass. But one hell of a climber. What says you?

Halfway and then do a complete circumtraverse. Who needs a summit, right?

Reinhold Messner was given the opportunity by the Chinese government to climb the mountain in the 1980s but he declined. Wiki

It would be soooo cool to climb any one of these beauties. But I think my spiritual scruples would prevent me. But damn is it tempting. I want to see a God. Or just God. One second thought I guess you do if you get hit by an avalanche. lol

Since no one answered, the last peak is Gangkhar Puensum, on the border of Bhutan and Tibet.
Here's the one I'd like to get up. Would make a good ski line! Brandon?
