Lobuche Peak Climbing

Lobuche Peak, 6119m, is more challenging than the popular Island Peak. 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.
