Lobuche
consists of two different summits, east and west with the height
of 6119m and 6145m respectively. A continuous rim ties them but
there is a sharp gap and a considerable distance between these
two summits. The east is recognized as a trekking peak whereas
the west is identified as an Expedition. The first scaled to the Lobuche east peak by Laurence Nielson and Ang Gyaljen Sherpa on
25th April 1984. The peak being an attractive offers various
existing routes and also a probability of new ones. The dark
triangle of its rocky east face rises down the moraines of
Khumbu Glaciers to a pleasant skyline, forming the south face.
Lobuche East is reached by descending a marked notch and
climbing steep snowy slopes to the top. On most, occasions, the
peak is climbed on the summit ridge only as far as a subsidiary
snow summit, south-east of the true peak and before the notch.
The peak is known as the false peak.
