There are 14 mountains above 8000m.
Some people set out to climb them all. I can't imagine how anyone could choose such a course, though--some of them have nearly a 1 in 3 chance of killing a climber. Many of those deaths are avalanches, skill won't protect you. Overall, your odds of dying before completing the 14 are over 80%.
Is something wrong with their mind or what?!
