Lobuche Peak climbing

The Lobuche mountain consists of two different summits, Viz. east and west with the height of 6119m and 6145m respectively. A continuous ridge. Connects them but there is still a Sharp gap and a considerable distance between them. The east peak is recognized as a trekking peak where as the west is known as an expedition peak.

Lobuche being an attractive mountain offers various existing routes and also a probability of new ones. The dark triangle of its rocky east face rises down the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier to a nice skyline, forming the south ridge.


The peak of Lobuche east is reached by descending a marked notch and climbing steep snowy slopes to the top. On most occasions, the mountain is climbed on the summit ridge only as far as a subsidiary snow summit, south-east of the true peak and before the notch. This peak is identified as the false peak.
