Lobuche is a beautiful trekking peak with two distinct summits: Lobuche east (6119m) and Lobuche west (6145m). Although both summits are connected by a continuous ridge there is a sharp gap and a considerable distance between them. They offer a variety of routes. For Lobuche East peak climbing we follow Everest Base Camp trekking route through Lukla, Namche bazaar, Thyanboche and up to Pheriche. From near Pheriche, Lobuche peak looks like a dark triangle of rock facing east and rises above the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier to icy skyline. We climb steep stone terraces and snow slopes just below the main glaciers on the South-West Face of Lobuche East. We use ropes and get access to the ridge overlooking Lobuche and the Khumbu Glacier where we fix the high camp. Then follow the sharp snow ridge to the summit ridge which runs North West to the summits of the east peak.
