Labuche Kang

Labuche Kang rises to 7,367 meters in elevation, making it the 75th highest peak in the world with a prominence of 1,957 meters.

A Sino-Japanese expedition team completed the first ascent of Labuche Kang via the West Ridge on October 26, 1987, with climbers from both nations reaching the summit.

The mountain stands within the Labuche Himal section, where local Tibetan communities maintain traditional practices while adapting to modern mountaineering activities in their region.

Climbers attempting Labuche Kang face technical challenges on the West Ridge route, requiring advanced glacier navigation skills and high-altitude expedition experience.

The mountain remained unclimbed for 23 years after its first ascent until 2010, when American climber Joe Puryear attempted but did not complete the climb.
