Mt. Lhotse is the
fourth highest mountain in the Himalayas,
Coordinates: 27°58′N 86°56′E . Its long
east-west crest is located immediately south of
Mount Everest, and the summits of the two
mountains are connected by the South Col, a
vertical ridge that never drops below 8,000m.
Sometimes mistakenly Lhotse has been identified
as the south peak of the Everest massif. No
serious attention was turned to climbing Lhotse
until Everest had finally been ascended. Lhotse
first climbed in 1956 as an alternative route
towards the summit of Everest. In addition to
the main summit, there are two subsidiary peaks,
Lhotse Shar, which is immediately east of the
main summit, and Nuptse, a high peak on the
mountain's west ridge. Lhotse is best known for
its proximity to Mount Everest and the fact that
climbers ascending the standard route on that
peak spend some time on its northwest face; see
below. In fact Lhotse has the smallest
topographic prominence value of any official
eight-thousander, as it rises only 610 m (2,000
ft) above the South Col. Hence it is often seen
as a minor eight-thousander.
However, Lhotse is a dramatic peak in its own
right, due to its tremendous south face. This
rises 3.2 km (1.98 mi) in only 2.25 km (1.4 mi)
of horizontal distance, making it the steepest
face of this size in the world. The south face
has been the scene of many failed attempts, some
notable fatalities, and very few ascents
The first successful summit of Lhotse was in
1956, when the Swiss climbers Ernest Reiss and
Fritz Luchsinger made it to the top. Lhotse's
height of 27,890 feet (8,506 meters), making it
a popular target for peak baggers, mountaineers
who attempt to climb all of the mountains in a
particular height class. The south face of
Lhotse is a incredibly steep, and few climbers
have attempted it. Other faces are more
forgiving, though still dangerous.
Everest climbers move along the Western face of
Mt. Lhotse, which is also known as the Lhotse
Face. Lhotse Face is icy and very tricky to
navigate, especially as climbers are accustoming
themselves to higher altitudes and physical
exertion. Once climbers have reached the South
Col via the Lhotse Face, they have a few days to
make a summit attempt on Everest, or they must
climb back down the mountain, as the affects of
altitude sickness can start to become severe.
