The Lapche Kang II (also Labuche Kang II or Lobuche Kang II or Choksiam II ) is a glaciated mountain in the Himalayas in the Tibet Autonomous Region .
The pyramid-shaped mountain has a height of 7072 m . It is located in the Lapche Himal on the border of the Nyalam and Tingri counties . The Lapche Kang I ( 7367 m ) rises 2.88 km further east. The 6952 m high Colangma massif lies 3.75 km west-northwest. A glacier flows north from Lapche Kang II to the high mountain lake Colangma, 6 km away .
The first ascent was made on April 30, 1995 by a Swiss expedition of the Swiss Alpine Club (Christian Meillard, Thierry Bionda and André Müller). The ascent route led over the 6300 m high saddle between Lapche Kang I and Lapche Kang II and over the east ridge up to the summit. The other expedition participants followed a few days later - Simon Perritaz, André Geiser and Pierre Robert on May 2nd and Dominique Gouzi, Carole Milz, Heinz Hügli and Doris Lüscher on May 5th.
