Lobuche east peak (6119m) lies in the Solukhumbu
region and is one of the hardest of the trekking
peak in the Everest Region. Lobuche Peak (6119m)
was first ascent by Nielson and Ang Gyalzen
Sherpa on 25 April 1984. It takes around 7/8
days from Lukla to reach the Lobuche Base Camp.
Lobuche East Peak is recognized as a trekking
peak whereas the Lobuche West Peak
(6145m/20161ft).is known as an expedition peak.
The dark triangle of its rocky East face rises
over 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 form the
south ridge. The true East Peak is quite
striking and is reached by descending into a
marked notch and climbing steep snow/ice slopes
to the top. Top is exposed and often covered
with rotten ice. In order to attempt climbing
Lobuche East one needs to be physically fit and
should have knowledge of mountaineering
climbing.
This trip start with Kathmandu valley
sightseeing by experienced tour guide and flight
to Lukla then we follow Everest base camp
Trekking route Lukla, Namche bazaar, Tyanboche
and up to Pheriche and then trekking to Thugla.
The base camp will be set up at 4,950m, near a
lake in a rocky hollow at the base of the
glaciated South-West Face. The views of
Amadablam, Cholaste, Thamserku, Kantega peak and
Tawache peak are superb view from here. You
climb steep stone terraces and snow slopes just
below the main glaciers on the South-West Face
of Lobuche East. You climb steep snow and ice
slopes using fix ropes and get access to the
ridge overlooking Lobuche and the Khumbu Glacier
where we fix the high camp. You follow the sharp
snow ridge to the summit ridge.
