Question: which mountain is higher, Kabru or Manaslu?

Willie Benegas or Guillermo Benegas is an Argentine / US mountain climber.  He has been climbing for over 25 years and has climbed Mount Everest and Anacongua many times and also climbed many volcanos in Guatemala.  He is from Argentina (Puerto Pirámides, Chubut State) but now lives in the United States State of Utah.  In 2005, while working as a Mountain Madness guide, he was noted as being well liked and respected at EBC, and being quick to help others.  He and his brother won an award in 2003 for pioneering "The Crystal Snake" route on Nuptse.  He has also climbed himalayan mountains Manaslu, Cho Oyu and Makalu.  In an interview with one Everest climber, he recounted how Benegas went into the "dead bodies tent" to save the life a man others had given up on.  That is to say they expected him to die due to various injuries and had fluid coming out of his mouth; however, Willie managed to make an airway and rallied a group of Sherpa's to carry him down.  Within the hour they had gotten him down and helicopter evacuated out the next day.  (This was during the 2015 Mount Everest avalanches and earthquake) <SEP> Kabru is a mountain in the Himalayas on the border of eastern Nepal and India.  It is part of a ridge that extends south from Kangchenjunga and is the southernmost 7000 m peak in the world. <SEP> Manaslu (Nepali: मनास्लु, also known as Kutang) is the eighth highest mountain in the world at 8163 m above sea level.  It is located in the Mansiri Himal, part of the Nepalese Himalayas, in the west-central part of Nepal.  Its name, which means "mountain of the spirit", comes from the Sanskrit word "manasa", meaning "intellect" or "soul".  Manaslu was first climbed on May 9, 1956 by Toshio Imanishi and Gyalzen Norbu, members of a Japanese expedition.  It is said that "just as the British consider Everest their mountain, Manaslu has always been a Japanese mountain". <SEP> Carl Wilhelm Rubenson (30 July 1885 – 29 July 1960) was a Swedish-born Norwegian mountaineer and non-fiction writer.  In 1906 he made several first ascents in Jotunheimen, together with Ferdinand Schjelderup and Agnes Jachelln.  In 1907 he reached a record height of 7,270 m at the Himalayan mountain Kabru, together with Ingvald Monrad Aas, the highest altitude anybody had reached until then.  He co-founded the Norwegian mountaineering club Norsk Tindeklub in 1908, together with Alf Bryn, Ferdinand Schjelderup, Henning Tønsberg and others.  He made the first ascent of the Norwegian mountain Stetind in 1910, together with Alf Bonnevie Bryn and Ferdinand Schjelderup.  The three climbers reached the top of Stetind on 30 July 1910, on Rubenson's 25th birthday.  This was the first of a number of first ascents to follow the next two weeks in Northern Norway.  On 1 August Rubenson, Bryn and Schjelderup made the first ascent of Svolværgeita, on the Lofoten island of Austvågøy.  Their route is called "1910 Ruta ", or in English: "The 1910 Route" .  This route includes a famous diagonal traverse across the north wall of the mountain, which was led by Rubinson.  The group reached the top by 11 pm on 1 August.  On 3 August 1910 the same group climbed Trakta on Northern Austvågøy, a mountain considered among the hardest summits to reach in Norway.  Also this was a first ascent, where they climbed the main summit (Vestre Trakta) via the Northwest Ridge.  Rubenson was part of the group that first attempted a winter ascent of Store Skagastølstind, but this attempt failed because of harsh snow conditions and risk of avalanches.
