Lhotse Expedition
Lhotse is the fourth highest mountain
in the world. Which means south peaks is part of the Everest
massif. An impressive ring of three peaks makes up the Lhotse
massif. Lhotse East or Middle (8,414 m) is situated on the
ridge between Main summit of Lhotse 8,516 m and summit Lhotse
Shar 8,400 m. The South Face of Lhotse is one of the largest
mountain faces in the world. It is considered an independent
mountain. It was first climbed from west ridge by F. Luchsinger
& E.Reiss (Swiss) in 1956. The South Face though attempted
many times was successful climbed only in 1984 by a Czech
expeditions. So, this is a technically challenging route and
will require solid climbing skills and experience and our
route follows from the standard route up the South side, then
through the Khumbu icefall to Camps 1,2 and 3 on Everest,
from here we rotate up to Lhotse Cap 4 and onto this striking
8000-meter summit. This is a fully guided expedition. So we
offer the support, logistics and leadership to you to climb
the Mt. Lhotse.
