Lingtren, Mountain summit in Tibet Autonomous Region, China and Sagarmatha Zone, Nepal.

Lingtren rises to an elevation of 6,714 meters, featuring a south face of black gneiss covered by a thick granite formation at the Tibet-Nepal border.

British mountaineers Eric Shipton and Dan Bryant achieved the first ascent of Lingtren in 1935, marking a significant milestone in Himalayan exploration.

The mountain's name derives from Tibetan language, reflecting its geographical position as a prominent landmark within the greater Himalayan range.

Climbers require permits from both Chinese and Nepalese authorities to access Lingtren, with optimal climbing conditions occurring during pre-monsoon periods.

No documented successful climbs of Lingtren have been recorded since the initial 1935 ascent, despite its visibility from Everest Base Camp.
