“Lhotse” which means south peaks is part of the Everest massif is considered an independent mountain. An impressive ring of three peaks, Lhotse East or Middle, Lhotse & Lhotse Shar make up the Lhotse massif. The South Face of Lhotse is one of the largest mountain faces in the world. It was first climbed by the Swiss duo of F. Luchsinger & E.Reiss in 1956 on the West Face. The South Face though attempted many times was successful climbed only in 1984 by a Czech expeditions.
Lhotse BC is located beside the Khumbu Glacier, same as Everest BC. The section during the climb which has been unanimously declared the most dangerous is the Khumbu Icefall. This beautiful massif also holds immense promise as it is little developed and offers fascinating opportunities.
