Lobuche Peak Climbing Overview

Lobuche (also spelt Lobuje) is a Nepalese mountain which lies close to the Khumbu Glacier and the settlement of Lobuche. There are two main peaks, Lobuche east and Lobuche West. A permit to Lobuche Peak climbing is required from the Nepal Mountaineering Association (NMA), which classifies Lobuche East (6,119m) as a “trekking peak” and Lobuche West (6,145m) as an “expedition peak”. As the easier, trekking peak, the East peak is climbed far more frequently than the West peak; however, most of those climbers only do so to a false summit a few hours from the true summit of Lobuche East. Between the two peaks is a long, deeply notched ridge, though a steep drop and considerable distance makes approaching the West peak from the East impossible.

The first recorded ascent of Lobuche East was made by Laurence Nielson and  Ang Gyalzen Sherpa on April 25, 1984.
