Of all the mountains, Qomolangma rises the highest and is the most famous. It is 8,848.86 meters high and so is very dangerous to climb. Thick clouds cover the top and snow can fall very hard. Even more serious difficulties include freezing weather conditions and heavy storms. It is also very hard to take in air as you get near the top.
