Tour >> Peak Climbing >> Lobuche Peak |
Lobuje peak
has two summits, East and West with heights of
6119m and 6145m respectively. A continuous ridge
connects them, but it is long and there is a considerable
height loss and gain. The East Peak is recognised
as a trekking peak, whereas the West is known
as an Expedition Peak.
Lobuje being an attractive mountain offers various
existing routes and also the potential for new
ones. The dark triangle of the rocky east face
rises over the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier
to a spectacular skyline, forming the south ridge.
Lobuje East is reached by descending a marked
notch and then 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 (or false peak), south–east
of the true peak and before the notch. |

Laurence
Nielson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa made the first
ascent of Lobuje East on 25 April 1984 although
it is possible that others had reached the summit
before but did not record their climbs.
|
| To climb Lobuje we follow
the Everest base camp route to Gorak Shep, continuing
to Kala Pattar, at 5545m, because this offers great
views of Everest and good acclimatisation. It is
also possible to follow the Gokyo valley and to
cross the Chola pass, a route which is also good
for acclimatisation. Whichever route we take us
shall place a Base Camp at Dzongla and a high camp
at 5300m either at a lake or a little higher near
a pass. This higher camp has a better view of the
peak as well as of Everest, Lhotse, Nupse, Makalu,
Ama Dablam, khangtenga and Tawache. |
