Lobuche peak 6119m
is one of the popular trekking peaks in Everest region. Lobuche
peak is an attractive summit and offers various routes for
climbing. Lobuche peak climbing is challenging trekking peaks in Everest region .The normal route for climbing is through South Ridge.
Lobuche east 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 Everest
base camp Trekking, route 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. The views of Amadablam, Cholaste, Thamserku, Kantega
peak and Tawache peak are superb from here. 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 fix ropes and get access to the ridge
overlooking Lobuche and the Khumbu Glacier where we fix the
high camp.
We follow the sharp snow ridge to the summit ridge. Then we
follow the route to north-west towards the main summit passing
several small snow bumps and reach a notch. Then we further
climb steep and quite difficult snow slopes to the true summit.
The peak can be climbed from East Face by climbing a dark
pyramid of slabby rock and join the South Ridge to get to
the summit.
