Lhost (8501m) 27 890ft) dominates Dingboche and the whole of the lamja valley. It’s The fourth highest mountain in the world and while its name (meaning South peak) seems to demote it to mere appendage of the higher mount Everest it is an apt description for is indeed the southernmost peak of the Everest massif. The first attempt to climb Lhostse was made in the post monsoon season of 1955 by a multi-national expedition led by the Swiss American Norman Debenture who with Ernst seen and the cartographer Erwin Schneider spent nearly five months on a thorough reconnaissance of the area before launching their attack on the North- west face. Although Dyhrenfurth’s expedition failed to reach the summit the first ascent was made the following year by Ernst Reiss and Fritz Luchsingerof a Swiss expedition led by Albert Eggler. To date it remains the least climbed of any 8000m peak. Everest trekking, Everest base camp trekking
