 Lobuje Peak  “ 6119 m“  (Everest area)


Retour (historique)

The Mountain Lobuje consists of two different summits, namely: East and West with respective altitudes of 6119 m and 6145 m. A continuous edge connects them, but there is always a large distance between the two peaks. The eastern peak is considered a trekking peak, while the west peak is considered a peak of expedition.

Lobuje is an attractive mountain and offers various existing routes as well as a potential new to discover. The dark triangle of its western rock wall rises on the moraines of the Khumbu glacier forming the southern ridge, revealing a spectacular landscape.

The eastern peak Lobuje is reached descending one level and climbing is marked by steep snowy slopes. In most cases the ascent is made by the summit ridge to the snowy summit to the south, but the true summit is that of East before the junction ridge.

This peak is identified as a false peak. Laurence Nielson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa made the first ascent of the eastern Lobuje on April 25, 1984 although it is likely that other climbers have reached this summit before. But there is no record on this subject.



Total duration: 21 days - Maximum altitude: 6119 m - Difficulty level: Sporty +

Equipment needed: crampons, ice ax and rope are necessary, and it is helpful to be accompanied by a Sherpa guide who knows the best part of the ridge.
