Mt.Lhotse(8516m.) is the fourth highest mountain in the world. Though several expedition teams attempted to climb to summit,  this mountain was first successfully climbed by a Swiss expedition in 1956.  The lower peak, Mt. Lhotse Shar 8383m, sometime considered a separate 8000m peak, Mount Lhotse , which means "South peak" is a part of the Everest massif, just to the south of Everest.

Lhotse East or Lhotse Middle & Lhotse Shar.

Mt. Lhotse Shar(8383m.) was first climbed by an Austrian expedition in 1970. Japanese, South Koreans, and Germans attempted from various routes on its main peak.  Polish and Italians also climbed the summit before the summit was reached again by German expeditions in 1977.

The South Face of Lhotse is one of the largest mountain faces in the world.This section during the climb that has been unanimously declared the dangerous is The South Face  & the Khumbu Icefall.The South Face though attempted many times but was successfully climbed only in 1990 by a solo expedition from Yugoslavia. This beautiful massif also holds immense promise as it is little developed and offers fascinating opportunities.
