Reinhold Messner Instagram – There is currently a discussion going on in mountaineering circles as to what constitutes a “mountain” and what constitutes a separate “peak” as opposed to a “top”, a subsidiary summit or just a minor bump along a ridge.
The subject of 8000m peaks has long created great debate and intrigue among the climbing community. Many people recognise the 14 x 8000m peaks located in the Himalayan and Karakoram regions. UIAA Honorary Member Reinhold Messner was the first to climb them all.
