Lhotse is best known for its proximity to
Mount Everest and the fact that climbers ascending the standard route on
that peak spend some time on its northwest face, see below. In fact
Lhotse has one of the smallest topographic
prominence values of any official
eight-thousander, as
it rises only 610 m above the South Col. Hence it is often seen as a
minor eight-thousander.
|
| However, Lhotse is a dramatic peak in its own
right, due to its tremendous south face. This rises 3.2 km in only 2.25
km of horizontal distance, making it the steepest face of this size in
the world. The south face has been the scene of many failed attempts,
some notable fatalities, and very few ascents. |
