Eight-thousanders Quiz

About this quiz

What this eight-thousanders quiz covers

Eight-thousanders: names and heights focuses on the 14 peaks above 8,000 meters and the exact elevations commonly cited in reference lists. You’ll practice quick recognition of peak names, ranges, and the numbers that separate close contenders.

Each question uses 4 options and there’s no timer, so you can think through near-matches like 8,163 vs 8,167 without pressure.

Difficulty and how to play

Difficulty is balanced by mixing straightforward “iconic peak” items with more easily confused heights and less-remembered mountains. You can also choose your question count and difficulty before starting, making it easy to run a short warm-up or a full-length challenge.

Learn the official heights (in meters) most often used in standard eight-thousander lists
Spot common mix-ups (Annapurna I vs Dhaulagiri I, Gasherbrum I vs II)
Practice number precision when heights are only a few meters apart
Build confidence across mixed difficulty instead of getting only hard questions
Improve recall by revisiting missed items in a low-pressure, no-timer format

Common pitfalls to avoid

Many wrong answers come from swapping similarly named peaks or assuming the “bigger-sounding” mountain has the higher elevation. Another frequent trap is rounding—this quiz rewards knowing the exact listed height rather than an approximate figure.
