Aconcagua

The highest peak in the Americas and the Southern Hemisphere/Mountains

Aconcagua in Argentina's Andes mountains stands at 6,961 meters, making it the tallest mountain outside of Asia. Despite its extreme height, it is technically one of the easier very high peaks to climb because it does not require technical mountaineering on its normal route. That said, 'easier' at nearly 7,000 meters still means altitude sickness, brutal cold, and winds that can flatten a tent.
