Lhotse Middle

Lhotse Middle reaches an elevation of 8,410 meters, forming part of the colossal Lhotse massif between Mount Everest and Lhotse main summit.

A Soviet expedition team completed the first successful climb to Lhotse Middle summit in May 1990, establishing a new route through technical sections.

The mountain name originates from Tibetan language, where Lho means south and tse means peak, reflecting the geographical position of the massif.

Mountaineers typically schedule expeditions between April and May, utilizing established base camps and following routes similar to Lhotse main summit ascents.

The ascent requires navigation through a 600-meter couloir with steep rock sections leading to a small summit platform near 8,410 meters.
