Lhotse, the fourth highest mountain in
the world, is situated in Everest
region. Its long east-west ridge is
located immediately south of Mount
Everest, and the summits of the two
mountains are connected by the South
Col. So, Lhotse is best known for its
proximity to Mt. Everest and the
climbers who approach this mountain from
the normal route spend considerable time
on its north west face. Lhotse rises
only 610m. from the South Col, however,
it is a prominent peak due to its
tremendous south face, the most
impressive walls in Himalayas, notable
for the steepest face with many failed
attempts, many fatalities and very few
ascents.
The western flank of Lhotse is known as
the Lhotse Face. Any climber who wants
to climb the the peak via standard route
of South Col on Everest must climb this
1,125m (3,700ft) wall of glacial blue
ice. This face rises at 40 and 50 degree
pitches with the occasional 80 degree
bulges. Two rocky sections called the
Yellow Band and the Geneva Spur
interrupt the icy ascent on the upper
part of the face. This is a technically
challenging route and will require solid
climbing skills and experience.
Lhotse has three summits: Lhotse Main
8516m, Lhotse Shar 8383m and Lhotse
Middle or East 8413m . Lhotse Main was
first climbed in 1956 by a Swiss
expedition, Lhotse Shar in 1979 and
Lhotse Middle in 2001 by a Russian
Expedition team.
