Changtse, Mountain peak in Shigatse, China.
The Changtse summit reaches an elevation of 7,543 meters and stands between the Main Rongbuk and East Rongbuk Glaciers in Tibet Autonomous Region.
The first permitted ascent occurred on October 14, 1982, when five German expedition members reached the summit through the Northeast Ridge route.
The name Changtse translates to 'north peak' in Standard Tibetan, reflecting the local language and geographical positioning near Mount Everest.
Climbers access the mountain through the North Col route or directly from the East Rongbuk Glacier, with steep sections of rock requiring technical climbing skills.
The Changtse Glacier system contains a lake at 6,216 meters altitude, making it one of the three highest lakes on Earth.
