Route: Lobuche East (False Summit)

Editor's Note, 2025-06-01 - As the rope is often only fixed to the false summit at 5860m, this page will now refer to runs up to that point. It is believe that the FKTs set by Andrews and Steck on the men's side went to the true summit at 6030m.

Lobuche (also spelled Lobuje) is a Nepalese mountain which lies close to the Khumbu Glacier and the settlement of Lobuche. There are two main peaks, Lobuche Far East and Lobuche East (often mistaken for Lobuche West which is a separate mountain further west). At 6,145 metres (20,161 ft), Lobuche East is 26 metres (85 ft) higher.
