About
Lhotse
Lhotse is the fourth highest mountain in the world and is connected to Everest via the South Col. Its distinctive pyramid shape is visible from the Everest Base Camp trek. The Lhotse Face, a 1,125m wall of glacial ice, is one of the most technically demanding sections of the standard Everest route.
