Kongma Tse
- Mehra Peak
(19,186 feet / 5849meter) |
Formerly called Mehra Peak,
Kongma Tse stands above the
Khumbu Glacier opposite
Lobuche. It is one of
several summits, including
Pokhalde, that make up the
long southwest ridge of
Nuptse carved out between
the Khumbu and Nuptse
Glaciers. The views of the
massive south face of Nuptse,
Pumori to the north and the
Lho La are simply
spectacular from the summit.
The usual route to the
mountain follows the Everest
base camp route until
leaving that trail to gain
the Imja Valley and the east
side of the Kongma La. The
primary routes of ascent are
from the south and cross
several moraines between 2
well marked lakes below the
snout of the glacier. Gain
the glacier on its western
side and find the easiest
lines up its true right bank
below the South Ridge of the
mountain or along its true
left bank below the
Southeast Ridge. At the head
of the glacier climb broken
rocks and snow to gain the
south ridge and follow this
to the summit. |
