Nepal
is one of the small,beautiful & most popular country
for peak climbing activities.The Lobuche Mountain consists
of two different summits, viz. East and West with heights
of 6,119 m and 6,145 m respectively. A continuous ridge
connects them but there is still a sharp gap and a considerable
distance between them. The East Peak is recognised as
a trekking peak, whereas the West is known as an Expedition
Peak.Lobuche being an attractive mountain offers various
existing routes and also a potential for new ones. The
dark triangle of its rocky East face rises over the moraines
of the Khumbu Glacier to a spectacular 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. Laurence Nielson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa
made the first ascent to Lobuche East on 25 April 1984
although there are possibilities that others have reached
the summit before. But no records are available.
