The Lobuche (also: Lobuje ) is a mountain over six thousand meters high in the Khumbu region in Nepal .
The mountain has two main peaks: the 6145 m high west summit and the 6119 m high east summit ( ⊙ ). Both peaks are about two kilometers apart and connected by a deeply indented mountain ridge. The Lobuche is located west of the Khumbu Glacier , on the route of the Mount Everest Trek between Pheriche and Gorak Shep and about 30 km southwest of Mount Everest .
Lobuche West
The Lobuche West is technically demanding and is considered a difficult six-thousander to climb in the Khumbu. The summit is listed as a category "A" climbing summit by the Nepal Mountaineering Association . It was first climbed in 1955 via the south shoulder.
Lobuche East
The first documented ascent of Lobuche Ost took place on April 25, 1984 by Laurence Nielson and Sherpa Ang Gyalzen. However, it is likely that the summit has been climbed before. The Lobuche East is a popular climbing destination and is still considered a trekking peak in Nepal (category "B" climbing peak), although the end of the peak contains steep ice and snow passages. Usually not the actual summit, but the so-called ( "false summit" is false summit ) south boarded it. It is comparable in difficulty to Island Peak , the ascent requires a permit. The base camp is located on the southwest flank at an altitude of 4950 m .
Lobuche (place)
The place Lobuche ( location ) is at 4940 m altitude. It is located about four kilometers south of Gorak Shep and thus on the way to the base camp of Mount Everest. The former alp has grown tremendously with the increase in trekking tourism. The number of hostels and places to stay has now risen sharply - with serious ecological consequences. The place is particularly overcrowded in the main season.
