Mountains To Climb Before You Die

I’m sure we’ve all seen the book 1000 Places To See Before You Die which has inspired a ton of “before you die” lists.

Well, here’s another one this time from the Gear Junkie, who recently interviewed a group of mountaineers for a Forbes article. The group consisted of the Ed Viesturs, Jack Tackle, and Will Gadd, amongst others. The climbers were asked to list their “must climb” mountains, and the results are quite interesting. I won’t give away the list, but there are a number of classic climbing ranges that will inspire adventures all over the planet.

The list only contains eight mountain ranges. So? What was left off? I can think of several that I would have expected to be on there, and were a bit surprised to find them missing. Comments?
