Makalu
(5th highest peak in the world)

equipment needed
You're probably gonna want to purchase neccesary gear and essential items. Such as:
Multiple jackets. More specifically ones that zip up in the front. It's much easier to remove than a pullover jacket and a hood to protect your neck
Insulated pants such as Polartec 300, Primaloft or Polargard HV fill will be best to keep out the cold
Ski goggles and glacier glasses protect against snow blindness and damage to the eyes' corneas
The face should be protected with a balaclava at the very least, and a neoprene or wired mask. In addition to preventing frostbite, the wired mask might also be able to help you avoid getting what is known as "Khumbu- cough", a sever hacking from the high altitudes
You will need various Alpine tools to manage the crevices, thin ridges, snow and ice.
Specific items are ropes, a harness, crampons, ice ax with leash, carabiners, webbing, cord, trekking poles, rappelling equipment, ascenders, and slings
