This list is way off base... Mt Washington? Mt Fuji - seriously??

1. Annapurna - not even close!
2. K2 - nothing is close to 2nd!
3. Makalu - close tie with Kanchenjunga
4. Kanchenjunga
5. Shishapangma peaks or Broad Peak
6. Everest
7. Dhaulagiri
8. Siula Grande
9. Mt McKinley (Denali)
10. Annapurna or Matterhorn (equal)

Most if not all the Himalayan peaks take top tier due to their altitude and susceptitude for cerebral and pulminary edema.
