Annapurna Mountain, at 8,091m, is the world's tenth highest mountain. It is known for the difficulty it presents to climbers who want to reach its summit. However, it is also the first eight-thousand peak ever climbed. The credit goes to Maurice Herzog, who headed the French expedition in 1950. Though the fatality to summit ratio of the Annapurna peak has improved, it is still one of the most dangerous peaks to summit. However, Annapurna Base Camp treks are very safe.
