In the world of climbing, Maurice Herzog’s Annapurna Expedition has been seen as ironic. The first 8000-meter mountain to be conquered was Annapurna, the world’s tenth-highest mountain; nonetheless, climbing Annapurna has become infamous for its extraordinarily high fatality rate and has witnessed the fewest ascents of any 8000-meter summit. Annapurna is rarely attempted, and the peak rarely sees a summit. Even though Annapurna is only 8091 meters high, the combination of the very rough and steep terrain, unpredictable weather, and avalanche risk makes the Annapurna trekking Expedition one of the most arduous expeditions in the Himalayas and the globe.
