Sentence Correction (SC) | Re: A successful ascent of Mt. Everest is rendered tremendously difficult

GMATNinja MartyTargetTestPrep

Could you please help me here, there are cases when we use a singular verb for subjects that sounds plural but actually represents a general idea. "Characterize" is apparently the correct verb for the subject "very high altitudes". But how do we understand that "very high altitudes" here is not a general idea but something plural? Could you please share your thoughts and guidance here?
