Lobuche Peak News

Lobuche Peak News - Everest Glacier Climbing School on Lobuche in January, Feb, March, April, May, Oct, Nov, Dec

Our 3 different October and November Lobuche Groups reached the summit!! Conditions were good, with a few snow storms hitting us lightly, but nothing we could not deal with and the little bit of fresh snow on the path made the crampons stick better and bonded the loose rock together. Most of our members enjoy Lobuche Peak as a warm-upexpedition before moving up to big and better objectives, such as Ama Dablam, Everest or Lhotse. Congratulations to all of the members, their Sherpas, and many thanks to all family, friends, and colleagues for your support!

Nov 8 - This is Paul reporting back after an awesome climb on Lobouche East. The conditions were difficult but absolutely fantastic with fresh snow making the climb great fun. The team climbed well together and we managed a pace to ensure summit success for our members and Sherpas. It was a long and incredibly rewarding day with views of the whole Khumbu Valley, Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and many more. We could have stayed up there all day but alas, we had to come down to get ready for our next objective, Ama Dablam. I am now writing this in our comfortable partner lodge in Pangboche and the whole Ama Dablam team. Today we will hike to Ama Dablam Basecamp for the next phase of this epic adventure

Nov 05 - SummitClimb Team Led by Led by Paul, who is from the UK and France, together with our friendly, strong, expert Sherpas. Heads to High Camp of Lobuche Peak After Snowfall.

Dzhongla, Nepal Following a fresh blanket of snowfall, the SummitClimb team, led by Paul, is setting out from Dzhongla to reach the high camp of Lobuche Peak. The ascent follows snowfall that has transformed the Himalayan landscape into a winter wonderland, adding both beauty and challenge to their expedition.

At their current location in Dzhongla, the team has a stunning view of some of the most famous Himalayan peaks, including the iconic Ama Dablam and Cholaste. The fresh snow has intensified the beauty of the panoramic vista, a view described as “breathtaking” by team members who are exhilarated to be surrounded by such grandeur.

Their journey to the high camp marks a significant stage in the climb, with Lobuche Peak presenting technical challenges that demand skill and endurance, especially under snowy conditions. Despite the added difficulty, the snowfall has only strengthened the team's resolve to reach the summit.

With favorable weather, the SummitClimb team hopes to make a successful push to the summit soon. For now, they remain motivated and prepared, taking in the incredible sights of the Himalayan giants around them as they continue their ascent.
