An impressive ring of three peaks makes up the Lhotse climbing massif: Mount Lhotse East or Middle, Lhotse & Mount Lhotse Shar. The South Face of this Mount is one of the largest mountain faces and the fourth highest mountain in the world. We attempt to climb the normal route to the tallest peak of the Mount Lhotse massif. Lhotse Base Camp is located beside the Khumbu Glacier, same as Everest BC. The section during the climb, which has been unanimously declared the most dangerous, is the Khumbu Icefall. The first successful ascent of the mountain was in 1956 by the Swiss on the West Face. The South Face though attempted many times was successful climbed only in 1984 by a Czech expedition team. This beautiful massif also holds immense promise as it is little developed and offers fascinating opportunities. Beginning our expedition in after a panoramic flight to Lukla, following the classic Everest route, we set up base camp on same as Everest Base camp, after our b team of sherpa's set up various camps, where members have the chance to up and down acclimatizing and on a favorable day we attempt to climb this impressive mountaineering in Nepal.
