Lobuche Peak Climbing

Trip Overview

Lobuche East (approx. 6,119 m) is a more technical trekking peak in the Everest region. The climb involves glacier travel and a steep ice wall (often 50–70°) protected by fixed ropes. It is frequently combined with the Everest Base Camp trek for acclimatization.

Best suited to climbers who already have some experience with crampons and ice axe, or who want a step up from Island Peak.
