 Lhakpa
Ri Expedition |
|
Lhakpa Ri [7,045m./23,000ft.] is an
attractive peak, which divides the upper
East Rongbuk glacier and upper Kharta
glacier. It is close enough to Everest to
feel the enormous power and character of the
world's highest mountain, but is set far
enough back to appreciate the true geometric
perspective of this great peak. Lhakpa Ri is
just the right distance from Everest as one
is allowed magnificent views and experiences
of the world’s highest mountain while not
being too close for comfort. This stunning
peak divides the upper East Rongbuk Glacier
and upper Kharta Glacier. After many failed
attempts Bill Tilman first ascended Lhakpa
Ri during the Everest renaissance of 1936.
It was later tackled in 1988 and 1991. All
those who have successfully reached the peak
have gone both physically and mentally
prepared. However, in the end you are left
with an experience that will last the rest
of your life. It is not a technically
challenging mountain and can be ascended by
any who is fit, acclimatized, and motivated.
This expedition to Lhakpa Ri and the North
Col maximizes many years of accumulated
wisdom of the high Himalaya, a strong record
of reaching the top of 8,000ers: Everest,
K2, Kangchenjunga, Lhotse, Makalu, Cho-Oyu,
Shishapangma, and many other 8,000 metre
summits, in addition to more than 25
Himalayan expeditions, in all safety, along
with an intimate knowledge of the Tibetan
and Chinese officials who regulate the
permit system. We have conducted more than
eleven 7000 metre peak expeditions, and
consider ourselves specialists in
identifying, organizing expeditions to, and
getting teams safely to the summit and back
down, of the world's 7000ers. This is our
12th expedition to Tibet since 1986, and we
know all of the bureaucratic officials,
liaison officers, yak drivers, and
hoteliers/restaurateurs personally.
