Kongma Tse |
(5,849m/19,185ft.)
Area: Khumbu Himal in the Everest Area.
Formerly called Mehra Peak or simply Mehra, this
attractive mountain rises to the north of the
Kongma La above the Khumbu glacier opposite
Lobuje, and is one of several small summits,
including Pokalde, that make up the long
South-West Ridge of Nuptse, between the Khumbu
and Nuptse Glaciers. Seen from Gorak Shep, the
summit has a diamond shaped hanging glacier
above a steeply |

inclined
rock wall that makes up the mountain's North Face, which is in
turn slashed by a diagonal ice ramp leading to the lower edge of
the glacier.
From the south the mountain is much more approachable.
Seen from the lakes east of the Kongma La, a small, stepped
glacier descends from the summit between long, rocky arms that
make up the mountain's South and South-East Ridges. The margins
of the glacier provide the normal route of ascent.
As with Pokalde the views from the summit are
spectacular, especially so because of the nearness of the
massive south face of Nuptse. The views northwards towards
Pumori and the Lho La are also outstanding. |
