Lobuche West Peak Climbing

Climbing to Lobuche west peak is an attractive summit and offers various routes for climbing. The Lobuche west peak climbing adventure consists of two different summits. East and West with heights of 6,119 m and 6,145 m respectively. A continuous ridge connects them but there is still a sharp gap and a considerable distance between them. The east peak is recognized as a trekking peak, whereas the West is known as an Expedition Peak. The normal route for climbing is through South Ridge. Lobuche west peak consists of several small summits and the true summit requires climbing steep snow and ice slopes to the top from the summit ridge.

We follow the classical route of the Everest base camp Trekking; we take flight from Kathmandu to Lukla then continue up to Pheriche and then trek to Dughla. Lobuche peak 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. You will have chance to explore an outstanding panoramic view of Mount Amadablam, Cholaste, Thamserku, Kantega peak and Tawache peak. We climb steep stone terraces and snow slopes just below the main glaciers on the South-West Face of Lobuche East. We climb steep snow and ice slopes using fixed ropes and get access to the ridge overlooking Lobuche and the Khumbu Glacier where we fix the high camp.

Lobuche west peak is reached by descending a marked notch and climbing steep snowy slopes to the top. On most occasions, the mountain is climbed on the summit ridge only as far as a subsidiary snow summit, southeast of the true peak and before the notch.
