Trip Overview
Nuptse shares in the glory of the Everest Massif and is the southern border of the Western Cwm. It’s joined on the tight by Lhotse via Tenzing Peak. Viewed from the Kalapatthar it appears as a massive wall guarding the approach to Everest.
Mt. Nuptse the highest among 7,000 meters peaks at 7,861 meters the climb is regarded as one of the toughest technical mountains to climb to its summit top. Mount Nuptse was first ascended by British national Dennis Davis and Nepali national- Sherpa Tashi on the north ridge (Scott-route) on May 16, 1961. Mount Nuptse expedition emerges as a massive wall guarding Mount Everest when it is viewed from the Tengboche Monastery. The name 'Nup-tse' originated from the Tibetan language meaning ''west-peak''.
The summit of Nuptse is extremely dangerous due to loose snow with a lot of hollows, and there are also weakly attached cornices of snow. This provides a barrier to climbing, yet is not sturdy enough for safe climbing.
