Lobuche East peak is one of the popular trekking peaks in Nepal to climb, located in Everest Khumbu Himalayan range. This peak is an attractive summit and offers various routes for climbing. 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 the traditional Everest base camp trekking route up to Pheriche and then to Dughla. A base camp will be established at 4,950m near a lake at the base of the glaciated Southwest 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 Southwest Face of Lobuche East. From there we climb steep snow and ice slopes using fix ropes to gain access to the ridge overlooking Lobuche and the Khumbu Glacier. 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 before further climbing the steep and difficult snow slopes to the true summit. The peak can also be climbed from East Face by climbing a dark pyramid of rock and join the South Ridge to get to the summit.
