Mount Lhotse (8516m) is the fourth highest
mountain in the Himalayas. Its long east-west
crest is located immediately south of Mount
Everest, and the summits of the two mountains
are connected by the South Col, a vertical ridge
that never drops below 8,000m. Lhotse has one of
the smallest topographic prominence values of
any official eight thou-sanders, as it rises
only 610m above the South Col. Hence it is often
seen as a minor eight thou-sander. Mount Lhotse
first climbed in 25 May 1956 by Ernst Reiss of
Switzerland via West Face. In addition to the
main summit, there are two subsidiary peaks,
Lhotse Shar, which is immediately east of the
main summit, and Nuptse, a high peak on the
mountains west ridge. Mount Lhotse Shar was
first climbed by an Austrian expedition in 1970.
Japanese, South Koreans, and Germans attempted
from various routes on its main peak. Poles and
Italians also climbed the summit before the
summit was reached again by German expeditions
in 1977.
