Mountain tools worth sharing.
Explore embeddable mountain comparison, expedition budgeting, altitude planning and hiking tools. Preview live applications, copy their HTML, and credit the original research.
Every tool links to its full methodology. Standalone apps are clearly labeled; research still under review is never presented as final data.
Pick a tool. Try it live.
Choose the preview you want. A copied snippet includes the interactive frame and a clearly visible source credit. Some full-page versions need an embed-specific release.
8,000m Peak Death Rates
Sortable 14-peak explorer; the historical death-to-summit calculations are being source-reconciled.
Peak Comparison Tool
Compare mountain objectives side by side—elevation, route grade, seasons, expected costs and trip demands.
Expedition Budget Calculator
Estimate climbing expedition costs across key categories, including guide fees, travel, permits, gear and contingency.
AMS Altitude Sickness Risk Calculator
Explore how sleeping altitude, ascent speed and prior altitude experience affect an itinerary-risk discussion.
Hiking Difficulty Calculator
Enter distance, vertical gain, altitude, pack weight and terrain for a route-effort score and estimated time range.
Hiking Trip Budget Calculator
Estimate total trip cost including transportation, accommodation, food, permits, gear and contingency.
8,000m Peak Death Rates
This visualization follows GSG’s original fourteen-peak design. The prototype’s historical percentages differ from more recent, source-defined death-to-summit analyses.
For now, this is a live 14-peak interface preview with elevations and working sorting—no disputed death-rate percentages.

Fourteen eight-thousanders · reference summit elevations · historical fatality ratios withheld while datasets are reconciled.
Source review: Mountaineering statistics and Death rates by mountain. A death-to-summit ratio is not a climber’s personal probability of death.
Peak Comparison Tool
Compare mountain objectives side by side—elevation, route grade, seasons, expected costs and trip demands.

How to use a GSG widget on your site.
These tools are provided to help readers explore mountain decisions with their underlying limitations. Please keep the source credit visible and avoid presenting calculations as professional medical, safety or financial advice.
Choose the right version
Use a standalone iframe for a clean app where available. The hiking calculators currently include their article layouts when framed.
Paste the HTML
Copy an embed snippet and paste it in an HTML or embed block in your CMS. Adjust iframe height for smaller screens and verify the tool runs.
Keep attribution visible
Credit Global Summit Guide and link to the original tool or its methodology. A nofollow-qualified link is acceptable; editorial linking decisions remain with the publisher.
rel="nofollow" according to their policies.Are these standalone calculators?
Three are direct app embeds. The two hiking calculators are currently live inside full GSG articles and are provided as iframe tests only until clean standalone versions are packaged.
Can I publish the death-rate graphic?
The visual prototype exists, but its historical percentages need a consistent dataset. Cite the linked research articles in the meantime; do not distribute the old graphic as current statistics.
What if an iframe is blank?
Some publishing platforms restrict third-party frames or scripts. Open the original GSG tool instead, and ask your site administrator about iframe security settings.
Can I change the figures or remove the source?
Please preserve the original calculation, caveats and meaningful attribution. Contact the newsroom for data permissions, republishing or customization inquiries.
Behind every result, there is a method.
GSG reports and tools use different kinds of evidence: measured elevations, historical expedition records, editable budget estimates, and educational risk-screening models. The source and denominator should accompany any statistic.
Additional downloadable data and citation guides are being added to the newsroom.
Need a source, a custom graphic, or a quotation?
For press and editorial requests, consult the reports library, cite the linked methodology, or contact our team about reusing charts and research.

Mountain information changes quickly. This box explains the limits of what this page can responsibly promise.
- Visa, passport, vaccination, border, insurance, and local transportation rules may change before your trip.
- Route conditions, snowpack, closures, and weather can change quickly after this page is updated.
- Permit rules, fees, quotas, and reservation windows may change between review cycles.
- Operator availability, pricing, guide ratios, and cancellation terms can change by season.
- Your fitness, altitude response, risk tolerance, and experience level may change what is safe or realistic.
Verify current conditions with official land managers, guide services, local forecasts, and current route reports before booking or climbing.
Mountaineering, rock and ice climbing, glacier travel, and high-altitude activity are inherently dangerous and can result in serious injury or death.

Route conditions, weather, snowpack, permits, regulations, and hazards change constantly and may differ from what is described here. Details may be incomplete, out of date, or contain errors. Always verify current information with local authorities, certified guides, and official sources before making any decision in the mountains.
