Loubje Peak 6119 meters
The Lobuje Mountain consists of two different
summits, viz. East and West with heights of
6,119 m and 6,145 m respectively. A continuous
ridge connects them but there is still a sharp
gap and a considerable distance between them.
The East Peak is recognised as a trekking peak,
whereas the West is known as an Expedition Peak.
Lobuje being an attractive mountain offers
various existing routes and also a potential
for new ones. The dark triangle of its rocky
East face rises over the moraines of the Khumbu
Glacier to a spectacular skyline, forming
the south ridge.
The peak of Lobuje East is reached by descending
a marked notch and climbing steep snowy slopes
to the top. On most occasions, the mountain
is climbed on the summit ridge only as far
as a subsidiary snow summit, south?east of
the true peak and before the notch. This peak
is identified as the false peak. Laurence
Nielson and Ang Gyalzen Sherpa made the first
ascent to Lobuje East on 25 April 1984 although
there are possibilities that others have reached
the summit before. But no records are available.
