I was just wondering if anyone knew the order of difficulty, easiest to hardest, of the fourteen 8000'ers?

Cheers

I know that Everest is one of the least difficult as is Cho Oyu and I've got a feeling Broad Peak isnt that tough either (as far as climbing in the death zone goes!) and K2 is the hardest. Ive also heard that Kanchenjunga is quite a tricky one. Correct me if im wrong.

In reply to peteclark: thuis article on summit post gives an idea of the comparisons in difficulty in the paragraphs for each one that start about one third down the page

There you go, compares number of ascents to number of deaths
