Lhotse
The world's fourth-highest peak, connected to Everest by a ridge/Mountains
Lhotse (8,516 meters) is the fourth-highest mountain on Earth, located on the border of Nepal and Tibet, directly adjacent to and connected with Mount Everest via the South Col at 7,906 meters. Its name means 'South Peak' in Tibetan, reflecting its position relative to Everest. The south face of Lhotse is one of the steepest walls of its size in the world, rising 3,200 meters at angles exceeding 75 degrees. First summited on May 18, 1956, by Swiss climbers Fritz Luchsinger and Ernst Reiss, Lhotse shares its base camp and lower climbing route with Everest expeditions.
