Difficulty: Intermediate
Route: Normal South West Face

Special Considerations:

We choose the regular Southwest Face climbing route that most teams climb on Lobuche.

It is the most straight-forward route on the mountain which allows climbers to focus on their climbing technique and acclimatization. The route consists of moderate snow climbing in crampons, undulating terrain on rock protected by fixed line and moderate snow and ice fixed line climbing. It’s a stunning climb that offers incredible views of the tallest peaks on earth.

Lobuche is a great option if you have climbed peaks like Elbrus in Russia, Mt Blanc in Europe, or Mt Baker/Rainier in the United States and want to take your climbing to the next level. It’s also a great option for those EBC trekkers looking to spice up their trek a bit en route to base camp.
