The standard measure for a mountain’s difficulty is the ratio of summits to fatalities. Per Wikipedia, as of 2009, the hardest mountain is Annapurna I in Nepal, with a ratio of 157 summit ascents and 60 deaths, or 38%.
This means that, for every five people who reached the top, two died trying (or on the way back).
I’ll stick to a nice brisk walk around the park, thank you…
