Stay : Cholatse Peak ascent - 23 days
Cholatse Peak Climbing is an adventurous and challenging undertaking that requires mountaineering knowledge and expertise. The climbing route includes challenging ice sections, high rock faces and narrow ridges that require the right tools and knowledge.
Cholatse Peak (6,440 m), also known as Jobo Lhaptshan, is a mountain peak located between Gokyo and the Khumbu Valley in Nepal, linked to Taboche by a long ridge. The base of Mount Cholatse itself lies at an altitude of 4930 m. Interestingly, a lake lies just below this pass, to the east.
In Tibetan, "Cho" means lake, "La" means a pass and "Tse" means a peak, so the literal meaning of "Cholatse" is a "lake pass peak". Cholatse Peak was first climbed by Vern Clevenger, Galen Rowell, John Roskelley, Bill O'Connor and Peter Hackett via South Ridge on April 22, 1982.
