Description
'A Moment in the Mountains' - Featuring Mt. Lobuche
Mt. Lobuche is a high altitude trekking peak that is the destination of climbers seeking to summit a 6000m mountain to gain experience in preparation for higher and more technical peaks. It’s often used as training ground by Everest climbers hoping to minimize rotations through the Khumbu Icefall. The reward from the top are some pretty extraordinarily views of Everest, Lhotse and Makalu. We camped out on the summit for 3 nights to capture these breathtaking views.
Many climbers who summit reach Lobuche’s Eastern peak which is technically considered a false summit. The true summit lies just few hours away, the steep drop and considerable distance from the true summit makes approaching the West peak quite difficult for commercial climbers.
