Yeah Mount Everest, although the tallest and most famous mountain, is probably not the example he should've used.
As of 2013 Mount Everest had been scaled nearly 7,000 times by upwards of 4,000 different people. And if I recall correctly it has a death rate of something like 4%. Whereas a mountain like K2 has only had some 300 successful summits and a death rate of 41%.
