Now, let’s go over the top 5 most expensive mountains to climb.

1. Mount Everest, Nepal

Mount Everest is the tallest mountain in the world and the most challenging to climb, so it should come as no surprise that the experience is going to cost the most. Standing at 8,848.9 m, a climb to the summit Mount Everest is the most expensive mountain to climb..

The demand to reach one of Everest’s summits is fast growing. In 2019, 955 people attempted to reach the summit, up from 222 in the year 2000. This means it has also been getting much more crowded – a study showed that on a single day in May 2019, 396 climbers had gathered at the narrow route below the summit – known as the “death zone”.

In terms of summit success rates, statistics show that it has gone down in the last 15 years. Between 2006 and 2009, two thirds of its climbers were successful in their attempts, while in the last 15 years this rate has gone down to about one third.

2. Mount Vinson, Antarctica 

The location of Mount Vinson being the elusive continent of Antarctica comes in at second place. Even though this is one of the easier mountains on the list to summit, most of the expenses go towards transportation and hiring a guide to help you navigate the unique terrains.
