A good page with lots of stuff pulled together. Where did you get the grades from? I've climbed both Island peak and Lobuche east and would grade the latter much harder, generally and technically. In fact Lobuche is reckoned to be the most technical of the common trekking peaks and is at least PD+ and could even be rated at AD dependin on the condition of the "notch" prior to the main summit.

Thanks, I've changed Lobuche to PD+. I think I had it down as this but must have dropped the '+' at some point. I'm not sure of all the grades of these mountains myself so if you can fill in any of the blanks I'd be grateful. Cheers
This is a very useful page that gives a very fine overview about the goals for the typical normal climber in Nepal. May many users visit this page! Of course it might be improved in the future with more details. Pictures could be placed near the text about the mountain.
Kyazo Ri has a page with the (IMHO) more common name Kyajo Ri

How did I miss this?!This one slipped under my radar when you posted it. Glad I came across it now, certainly one of the best pages on this topic anywhere!
