The Second Seven Summits is a peak bagging list that includes the second highest mountain on each of the 7 continents. It is typically considered a more challenging peakbagging adventure than the main Seven Summits.
As with any peak bagging objective, there is some debate over which peaks should be included in the Second Seven Summits list. In this post, we have compiled the list based on the Seven Summit Lists compiled by Bass and Messner:
- Messner: K2, Ojos del Salado, Mount Logan, Dykh-Tau, Mount Kenya, Mount Tyree, Puncak Mandala
- Bass: K2, Ojos del Salado, Mount Logan, Dykh-Tau, Mount Kenya, Mount Tyree, Mount Townsend
