Island peak 6169m - Lobuje
peak 6119m...
Imja Tse(Island Peak) 6169m is one of the most popular
lesser peaks and to scale the mountain you will need
some mountaineering skill.
Lobuche East is the
hardest of the trekking peaks that commercial groups
attempt. In the Everest Region (Khumbu) only Kwangde
and Kusum Kangru are more difficult. The main peak
of Lobuche is Lobuche West and is not included in
the trekking peak permit. Therefore for a legal climb
to Lobuche West (Main Peak) an Expedition Peak Permit
is required which is considerably more expensive.
Now follows a description of Lobuche East (20075ft,
6119m 27 58 08N, 86 47 04S).
