LHAKPA RI (7,045M)

Group Size :
Elevation : 7,045 m
Start From : Kathmandu, Nepal

Start on :

Lhakpa ri is an ideal objective to reach because it is the most climbable 7,000m peak in the world and is remarkably positioned just across the glacier from Everest. It is among the several peaks that line the east flank of the east Rongbuk glacier. The summit is a prominent three-sided pyramid that drops to the east Rongbuk glacier to the west, the Kharta glacier to the east and falls steeply to a tributary glacier of the Khangsung to the south. It shares the historic route up the East Rongbuk glacier and is a relatively safe and straightforward route.
