Lhotse Expedition
Mt. Lhotse Himalayas is the fourth highest peak in the world with a height of 8516m(27,940ft), had no own identity due to its dominating neighbor Mt. Everest. Even its name means South Peak implies it is not a mountain in its own right. Once Nepal opened its borders the error became all too clear – from the south Lhotse formed a massive mountain wall.
Until 1953 there was not any attempt, Byhrenfurth had identified a route to the summit from the South Col. European and American assaults did not make much impact until 1956, then a well planned swiss expedition established a base camp below the Khumbu icefall. Poor weather hampered progress but on 18the May Swiss climbers, Ernest Reiss and Tritz Luchsinger reached the summit of the world’s fourth-highest peak.
Mt. Lhotse expedition is the daunting south face of Lhotse and is ranked as ‘amongst the most difficult in the world. The most recent star in the firmament of Himalayan climbing, Tomo Cesen from former Yugoslavia, confounded his peers by climbing this massive wall solo in April 1990. The 30-year-old sports journalist not only climbed without fixed camps or bottled oxygen but entirely alone, with very little fixed rope, and in the amazing total elapsed time of 45 hours and 20 minutes from the bottom of the face to the summit.
