Mount Koiski
Mount Koiski is a mountain in the li Mätvhas range, in central Olmeria. It's peak is more than 6,000m above sea level, making it the tallest mountain in Olmeria and amongst the biggest in Ultmar. While the lower regions of the mountains foothills are a popular tourist site, few venture up the mountain in earnest. In fact, no-one has yet summited the peak, although 143 people have officially tried, with 16 of them dying in the attempt. While the mountain is not in the ranks of the worlds tallest, with it's 6000m summit well below the so called death zone, long and exposed climbing routes, avalanche risks, extreme cold. altitude sickness and the sheer extent of the climb from base camp at only 2,300m make it extremely deadly.
