Lobuje
East Peak (6,119m/20m070ft.) |
Area:
Khumbu Himal in the Everest Area
There are two distinct summits to Lobuje Peak - Lobuje
East (6,119m/20,070ft) and Lobuje West
(6,145m/20,161ft). Although they are connected by a
continuous ridge there is a sharp gap and a considerable
distance between them. Lobuje is an attractive summit,
offering a variety of existing routes and a wide scope
for new lines. Seen from near Pheriche, the |

dark triangle
of its rocky East Face rises above the moraines of the Khumbu
Glacier to an icy skyline. This skyline forms the South Ridge, the
junction of the East Face with the glaciated South-West Face and the
line of the normal route of ascent. This in turn leads to the summit
ridge running north-west from the top of East Face through several
small summits to the East Peak.
Lobuje East: The true East Peak is quite
striking and is reached by descending into marked notch and climbing
steep snow/ice slopes to the top. This is rarely climbed and is
often mistaken for Lobuje West. Most attempts on the mountain climb
the summit ridge only as far as subsidiary snow summit, before the
notch, south-east of the true peak. The false summits east of the
notch have been attained by numerous parties, but the first recorded
ascent of the true Lobuje East seems to have been made by Laurence
Nielson and Sherpa Ang Gyalzen on 25th April 1984. |
