| There
are two distinct summits to Lobuje Peak -
Lobuje East (6,119m/20,070ft) and Lobuje West(6,145m/20,161ft).
Although they are connected by a continuous
ridge there is a sharp gap and a considerable
distance between them. Lobuje is an attractive
summit, offering a variety of existing routes
and a wide scope for new lines. Seen from
near Pheriche, the dark triangle of its rocky
East Face rises above the moraines of the
Khumbu Glacier to an icy skyline. This skyline
forms the South Ridge, the junction of the
East Face with the glaciated South-West Face
and the line of the normal route of ascent.
This in turn leads to the summit ridge running
north-west from the top of East Face through
several small summits to the East Peak.
Lobuje East : The
true East Peak is quite striking and is
reached by descending into marked notch
and climbing steep snow/ice slopes to the
top. This is rarely climbed and is often
mistaken for Lobuje West. Most attempts
on the mountain climb the summit ridge only
as far as subsidiary snow summit, before
the notch, south-east of the true peak.
The false summits east of the notch have
been attained by numerous parties, but the
first recorded ascent of the true Lobuje
East seems to have been made by Laurence
Nielson and Sherpa Ang Gyalzen on 25th April
1984
