In the Lobuche Peak there are two different summits Lobuche East (6,119m)
and Lobuche West (6,145m). The first attempt was made by Laurence Nielson

considerable distance between them. The true East Peak is quite striking
and is reached by descending into a marked notch and climbing steep
snow/ice slopes to the top. The top is exposed and often covered with
moldy ice.
