Route Climbed: Normal Trek Date Climbed: Oct. 26, 2000
Summitted on my mother's birthday. She wonders if I was switched at birth, but I was concieved on the day Hillary summitted Everest.. My personal highest elevation, fortunate to have a beautiful day.
Route Climbed: Normal from Gorak Shep Date Climbed: September 30, 2003
I went in the morning and whiteout conditions didn't allow for much a view, but Kala Pataar is an almost "manditory" waypoint for anyone doing the Everest Base Camp trek.
Fun, and what a view. I'll reiterate, like everyone else, it's not really much of a 'peak,' per say, but that isn't any reason not to do it. It's more than worthwhile as a diversion if you're up that way anyway.
Route Climbed: Normal route from Gorak Shep Date Climbed: May 1987
Beautiful views all around, perfect day for photos and climbing/hiking. The trek through the Kumbu was also a highlight, as were the many Monasteries and wonderful people along the trail from the Lukla Airport to base camp of Everest. I bought a bottle of coca-cola for $1 near Gorak Shep at a Lodge(??), wonder how much it is now?
Route Climbed: Normal route Date Climbed: August 1999
I do not consider this a peak - it is a hill which you walk up! Nevertheless it is useful for acclimatisation before trying a trekking peak in the region and this is what I did. I really enjoyed walking up this hill - I got a great picture of everest as well.

Magda Soler and Lluis Canals summited in a very clear day. The West Face of Nuptse is as impressive as Sagarmatha itself. Very interesting to see the Lho La, a high pass to Tibet.

We missed the trip to the Everest basecamp because of the heavy snow ,Planning to come again but this time intention to trek to Gokyo Ri to view MT. Everest at Gokyo .
Route Climbed: Lukla-Namche Bazaar-Lobuje- Gorak Shep Date Climbed: 4/20/92
A spur of Pumori... with lots of false summits. Breathtaking views of Everest across the valley. I was there early (summited about 10AM) to see Everest before the afternoon clouds covered the summit- then back to Lobuje that night.
