There are seven continents, but nine highest peaks on them, depending on your definition of a continent. Is Australia a continent or is it part of Oceana or Australasia? What the heck is Australasia and Oceana? What are the boundaries of Asia? Are the Caucus Mountains in Europe? These are all questions without clearly correct answers.

Easiest to Hardest
1. Mt. Kosciusco (Australia) 2228m 7310ft
2. Mt. Kilmanjaro (Africa) 5895m 19340ft
3. Mt. Elbrus (Europe) 5642m 18510ft
4. Mont Blanc (Europe) 4810m 15780ft
5. Mt. Aconcaugua (South America) 6962m 22840ft
6. Denali (North America) 6194m 20320ft
7. Carstensz Pyramid (Oceana/Australasia) 4884m 16025ft
8. Vinson Masif (Antartica) 4897m 16065ft
9. Mt. Everest (Asia) 8850m 29035ft

Least Costly to Most Costly (guided)
1. Mt. Kosciusco (Australia) 2228m 7310ft $300
2. Mt. Kilmanjaro (Africa) 5895m 19340ft $3000
3. Mont Blanc (Europe) 4810m 15780ft $3500
4. Mt. Elbrus (Europe) 5642m 18510ft $5000
5. Mt. Aconcaugua (South America) 6962m 22840ft $5000
6. Denali (North America) 6194m 20320ft $6500
7. Carstensz Pyramid (Oceana/Australasia) 4884m 16025ft $18,000
8. Vinson Masif (Antartica) 4897m 16065ft $48,000
9. Mt. Everest (Asia) 8850m 29035ft $60,000

These are rough estimates and prices may vary. Remember success rates are less than 50% for most summits and if you have a guided trip with no flexibility its schedule your chances of summitting are less than averages for the mountain. Thus, a typical seven summits campaign will pay the guided price twice on average. If the guided price is $150,000, expect to pay $300,000 because of weather, mountain conditions, sickness, injury, fatigue, logistics issues that prevent summit success. Costs don't include airfare to the nearest cities of the mountains or the cost of personal gear.
