Laurence Nielson and Ang
Gyalzen Sherpa made the first recorded ascent to Lobuje East
on 25 April 1984. The mountain consists of two summits, East
and West with heights of 6,119 m and 6,145 m respectively.
A continuous ridge connects them but there is still a sharp
gap and a considerable distance between them.
This Peak is recognized as a trekking peak, whereas the West
is known as an Expedition Peak. The East face rises over the
moraine of the Khumbu Glacier to a spectacular skyline, forming
the south ridge.
