As the world's highest mountain, it's not really a surprise to see Mount Everest on this list. Obviously, anything this tall is going to cause some complications, especially given how compelled humans are to conquer everything they lay eyes on. Most of us are happy to admire Mount Everest from the comfort of a Google Image search, but for the adrenalin junkies out there, this would never be good enough.
Often seen as one of life's greatest challenges, plenty of people have attempted to make the climb to the peak. Unfortunately, almost 300 people have died during their attempts, and it's always an unpleasant way to go. Whether it's avalanches, falling rocks, lack of oxygen, altitude sickness, extreme weather, or inadequate supplies, Mount Everest always seems to find a way to make death very terrifying indeed.
