MT. LHOTSE (8515M) |
|
 |
|
Lhotse is the
fourth highest
mountain in the
world. Its long
east-west is
located
immediately
south of Mount
Everest and the
summits of the
two mountains
are connected by
the South Col, a
vertical ridge
that never drops
below 8,000
meters. Lhotse
is sometimes
mistakenly
identified as
the south peak
of the Everest
massif. No
serious
attention was
turned to
climbing Lhotse
until after
Everest had
finally been
ascended. Two
Swiss, Fritz
Luchsinger and
Ernest Reiss
first climbed
Lhotse in 1956.
In addition to
the main summit,
there are two
subsidiary
peaks, Lhotse
Shar, which is
immediately east
of the main
summit and
Nuptse, a high
peak on the
mountain’s west
ridge.
