Overview
There are two distinct summits to Lobuje Peak - Lobuje
East (6,119m/20,070ft) and Lobuje West (6,145m/20,161ft). Although
they are connected by a continuous ridge there is a sharp gap and a
considerable distance between them. Lobuje is an attractive summit,
offering a variety of existing routes and a wide scope for new lines.
Seen from near Pheriche, the dark triangle of its rocky East Face
rises above the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier to an icy skyline.
This skyline forms the South Ridge, the junction of the East Face
with the glaciated South-West Face and the line of the normal route
of ascent. This in turn leads to the summit ridge running northwest
from the top of the East Face through several small summits to the
East Peak.
