| ncst | Snow storm!  Date Climbed: Apr 3, 2012 | |
| Went up from Chukkung and past some people acclimatising for Island Peak. Good views with some clouds went I got to the rim (2hrs). I went to the lower summit first (from the rim left) but then all the clouds came in and it started snowing and the actual summit disappeared, so I skipped it and went down. Went to Island Peak basecamp, the Imjo Lake and glacier the next morning in a clear sky, impressive views! | |

| mbollino | Great Views | |
| I skipped this hike on my first trip throught the Khumbu, so I made it a priority this time. Jaw dropping views of the Lhotse wall and South(-ish) to Ama Dablam, Baruntse, and Island Peak. Definitley recommended (as is entire Chukung valley) if you go to the Khumbu. | |

| Awesome day and a great half day hike! I choose this peak over kala pattar after going to Gokyo and over the Cho La Pass and it was well worth it! | ||

| I hiked up this thing on a rest day at Chukkung en route to climbing Imja Tse. Dragged out of bed by my great friend of many years Bhakta, I reluctantly plodded up it. "Good acclimatisation sir, you will not fail Imja Tse this time sir!" I couldn't answer him back, too knackered. He was right! | |
