Lennon Peak.

At 7,134 meters or 23,406 feet tall, it is the most climb mountain on Earth that is over 7 kilometers

tall, and it's easy to see why just by looking at it.

It looks a fair bit wider than it is tall, giving it a much gentler slope and making

it a much less technical climb than most mountains of its size.

It's even developed a reputation for being a relatively safe mountain, but that's not quite

the whole story.

In a cruel twist of irony, despite this reputation, it's also the site of some of the most

harrowing expeditions to have ever occurred, including the single deadliest mountain expedition

in recorded history.

These are those incidents, and as always, viewer discretion is advised.

Lennon Peak is located in the Trans-A Range in Tajikistan along the border with Kyrgyzstan, only 53 kilometers from the very westernmost point of China.

Before 1928, it was known as Mount Kauffman, and since 2006, it has since been renamed once

again to Ibnah Sina.

At least that's what it's called in Tajikistan,

because Kyrgyzstan disagrees on its name. Simultaneously, tribes of the area know the mountain

by a different name. So for simplicity, we're going to use the most commonly known name,

Lennon Peak, but one other thing the mountain was commonly known as was safe. And in fact,

there's something to this because Lennon Peak is the most climbed mountain

in the world that is over 7 kilometers tall at 7,134 meters or 23,406 feet.

The reason why is actually pretty apparent just from looking at it.

The mountain isn't that steep in many places and it looks a fair bit wider than it is tall.
