Island Peak is one of the handful of glaciated "trekking peaks" in the Khumbu. At 6189m / 20,305 ft, Imja Tse is a serious glaciated, high-altitude climb. The standard route has climbers heading from Chukkung to Base Camp and then usually summiting the following day. This FKT runs all the way from Chukkung to the summit (and back) in one fell swoop, though one could argue for a BC-Summit record as well if this route becomes more competitive.

Chukkung Ri (5520m) is another classic trekking peak in the Khumbu. Located just behind the town of Chukkung, the trail beings at the obvious trailhead on the north side of town, passes through a small rocky plateau (often full of grazing yaks), and then begins a steep and somewhat sandy climb up. It's pretty much straight up, with a small flatter shoulder about halfway up, and then the steep trail continues to a ridge around 5350m.
