Lhotse Expedition
Mt. Lhotse stands at 8516m, making it the fourth highest mountain in the world and is situated at the border of Tibet and Nepal. Its long east-west crest is located directly in south of Mount Everest, and the summits of the two mountains are connected by the South Col, a vertical ridge that never drops below 8,000m.
Lhotse has three summits: Lhotse Main 8516m, Lhotse Shar 8383m and Lhotse Middle or East 8413m. Occasionally Lhotse is mistakenly identified as the south peak of the Everest massif. Lhotse was first attempted in 1956 as an alternative route towards the summit of Everest.
