Overview
Lhakpa Ri is an ideal objective, remarkably positioned just across the glacier from Everest and is one of the most popular climbing peaks owing to easy accessibility as well as its proximity to the world's highest mountain, Lhakpa Ri shares the historic route up the East Rongbuk Glacier and is climbable by a relatively safe and straightforward route. It is just over the milestone altitude of 7,000m, making it higher than anything outside Asia and is probably the most climbable 7,000m peak in the world.
Lhakpa Ri is a superb objective which should appeal to climbers looking for a 7,000m summit in a famous location. The visit to Lhasa, the overland journey across the Tibetan Plateau, the trek in the footsteps of Mallory and a climb with awesome views of Everest, are the ingredients of a very special expedition. It will also give a lifelong impression of Tibet and its people and insight and deep respect for the achievements of the early Everest pioneers.
