Labuche Kang

Labuche Kang, Mountain summit in Tibet Autonomous Region, China.

Labuche Kang is a northern outlier of the Himalayas inside Tibet, rising northwest of Rolwaling Himal and east of Shishapangma. It belongs to the little-known Labuche Himal, also called Pamari Himal or Lapchi Kang, a section extending from the Tamakosi River valley west to the Sun Kosi valley and the Nyalam Tong La pass on the Arniko-Friendship Highway. The peak lies wholly within the Kosi catchment.

Labuche Kang was first climbed on 26 October 1987 by a Sino-Japanese expedition of seven Japanese and eight Chinese members, including A. Deuchi, H. Furukawa and K. Sudo, and Wangjia, Akebu, Laji, Tonglu, Daqiong, Jibu, Laba and Jiala. They reached the summit via the West Ridge. No other attempts are recorded until September 2010, when American climber Joe Puryear fell to his death during an unsuccessful attempt.

The peak's Chinese name is 拉布吉康峰 (Lābùjíkāng Fēng), and it also appears in accounts as Lapche Kang, Lobuche Kang I or Choksiam. It belongs to a little-known Himalayan section called Labuche Himal, Pamari Himal or Lapchi Kang, which runs from the Tamakosi valley west to the Sun Kosi valley and the Nyalam Tong La pass on the Arniko-Friendship Highway.

Labuche Kang lies wholly within Tibet's Kosi catchment, northwest of Rolwaling Himal and east of Shishapangma, so any approach crosses remote high ground far from roads. The 1987 Sino-Japanese team gained the summit by the West Ridge, the only recorded route. Plan for severe cold and altitude, and note that no other attempts are recorded until September 2010.

Labuche Kang is also known as Choksiam and Lobuche Kang I, and it is listed as the 75th highest peak on Earth. Its first ascent on 26 October 1987 was made by a joint team of seven Japanese and eight Chinese climbers via the West Ridge.
