Cerro el Muerto (sometimes "El Muerto" translated as "Death Mountain" or "The Dead One") is a mountain peak of South America and is part of the Andes Mountain Range. It is also known as the 16th of the largest mountain peaks in the Argentine-Chilean border at 6,488m (21,286 feet). The first successful climb was made in 1950.
The peak doesn't receive many climbing attempts due to the difficulty of navigating there from the Argentinian side of the mountain. Also, the closest neighboring mountain is Ojos del Salado, South America's second highest peak and highest volcano in the South West, which receives much more tourism in comparison.
