These are the most difficult places to travel to in the world
The answers have become less limited with time and techonological advances.

In 2015, this map became popular on one of our favourite subreddits.

They cite Muchu Chhish, a 7,453m high peak in the Western Karakoram mountains. The peak is highly inaccessible and, as far as is known, no-one has scaled it before.

However, Adventure Travel magazine suggest three others alongside it that could give the peak a run for its money.
