While both Denali and Everest are challenging mountains, Everest is higher and more technically challenging than Denali . Denali is harder in terms of support, since there’s not much of this once you’re on the mountain.
To put things somewhat into perspective, last year 11 people died on the Matterhorn , although it does see an estimated 3000 summits during any given year. Meanwhile, there were even more deaths on Everest during the spring climbing season, with a little less than 900 successful summits.

More than 100 bodies may be lying on Everest, and there is an open debate about whether to remove them or leave them be. Some climbers believe that fallen comrades have become a part of the mountain and should remain so.
Mount Everest , located in Nepal and Tibet, is usually said to be the highest mountain on Earth. Reaching 29,029 feet at its summit, Everest is indeed the highest point above global mean sea level—the average level for the ocean surface from which elevations are measured.
MOUNT DENALI From base to summit, that’s over a mile taller than Everest . The crown of the 600-mile-long Alaska Range is big enough to create its own weather patterns.
