Alpinism author Jon Krakauer wrote in "Into Thin Air" that it would be a bigger challenge to climb the second-highest peak of each continent instead of the highest. In Asia, K2 (8,611 m) demands greater technical climbing skills than Everest (8,848 m), while altitude-related factors such as the thinness of the atmosphere, high winds and low temperatures remain much the same.
