Lobuche peak climbing demands mountaineering in a professional and committed manner.Lobuche East peak 6119m is one of the popular trekking peaks in Nepal .There are various routes for climbing Lobuche east . The normal route for climbing is through south ridge. Lobuche east peak consists of several small summits and the true summit requires climbing steep snow and ice slopes to the top from the summit ridge.
The approach trek to Lobuje east climbing follows the classic Everest base camp route up to Pheriche and then it heads to Dughla .The base camp is set up near a lake below the south face at an altitude of 4950m. The views of Amadablam, Cholaste, Thamserku, Kantega peak and Tawache peak are superb from the base camp.. You climb steep stone terraces and snow slopes just below the main glaciers on the south-west face of Lobuche east. You climb steep snow and ice slopes using fix ropes and get access to the ridge overlooking Lobuche and the Khumbu Glacier where we fix the high camp.
You follow the sharp snow ridge to the summit ridge. Then we follow the route to north-west towards the main summit passing several small snow bumps and reach a notch. Then we further climb steep and quite difficult snow slopes to the true summit. The peak can be climbed from east face by climbing a dark pyramid of scabby rock and join the South Ridge to get to the summit.
