The world's most difficult mountain to climb than Mount Everest, with a height of only 264 meters, but less than 100 people have successfully reached the top

Famous mountains and rivers have always been one of the destinations for tourists, but actually climbing mountains is a particularly difficult thing, because after reaching a certain altitude, many people will suffer from altitude sickness. Once such a problem occurs, it will pose a certain threat to life. Not only that, there are many areas where the environment above is not very good, so it may have returned without reaching the top of the mountain. Speaking of mountaineering, Many people think of Mount Everest. In fact, most people are reluctant to climb it, because it is too difficult, and they come back almost halfway through the climb. In the world, there is one more difficult to climb than Mount Everest is the Devil's Tower.

The strange thing is that this is only 264 meters high, but so far no one has been able to climb it. The Devil's Tower stands on a grassland, like an Optimus Prime, with a sense of grandeur. There is a legend in Indians that bears once lived here. This hard-to-climb mountain is a cylindrical rock in the western part of the United States. It used to be a volcano a long time ago, and then the surrounding area was eroded away. What remains is the hardest basalt, the devil. The tower was formed about 50 million years ago.

Although this mountain is not very high, it is 369 meters higher than the Belfort meeting. Its foundation is considered very high. The entire tower is 264 meters high and 305 meters in diameter, and it gradually shrinks from bottom to top. At the very top, its diameter is only 84 meters, probably because when viewed from a distance, the surroundings are all flat, which causes people to visually perceive this as a very high place, and from a distance, this is the The tallest thing in a radius of several miles.

It has a history of 50 million years and is composed of many limestones, sandstones and leaf rocks. Because the magma will shrink, a lot of small stone pillars flow out from the cracks. When water enters the space between the stone pillars, there will be temperature changes, continuous expansion and contraction, and the appearance that people see now is formed, which is a hexagonal pillar. There are many cracks in Devil's Tower, turning the whole rock into hexagonal columns. The longest crack has reached 122 meters, and it is precisely because of this peculiar shape that it is difficult for climbers to climb up.

For climbing enthusiasts, this is also a worthy challenge. It is understood that from 1939 to the present, about 50,000 people have applied for climbing, but less than 100 people have succeeded, and some people are unfortunate. Fall to death.
