Lhotse - 8516m. |
Country: Nepal |
Description |
"Lhotse" means south peak.
It was
first climbed by F. Luchsinger & E.Reiss in 1956.
An impressive ring of three peaks make up the Lhotse massif:
Lhotse East or Middle, Lhotse & Lhotse Shar. The South
Face of Lhotse is one of the largest mountain faces in
the world. We attempt to climb the normal route to the
tallest peak of the Lhotse massif.
Lhotse BC is located beside the Khumbu Glacier, same as
Everest BC. The section during the climb which has been
unanimously declared the most dangerous is the Khumbu
Icefall.
The first successful ascent of the mountain was in 1956
by the Swiss on the West Face. The South Face though attempted
many times was successful climbed only in 1984 by a Czech
expeditions. This beautiful massif also holds immense
promise as it is little developed and offers fascinating
opportunities.
