  • how would you rate the climb of Lobuche in terms of a "beginner", meaning I have no experience in the Himalayas. I have experience climbing Mt Washington in winter which is located in the United States - it's a short 6400 feet, but it literally has the most consistently extreme weather on the planet - temperatures and winds that exceed at times even Mt Everest. I have also climbed Mt Adams, around 12K feet, and Mt Rainier.

  • I think you can do it I did not find it more difficult than any of the "a bit difficult" (PD) 4000er peaks I have done in the Alps. Some stone and rock scrambling from basecamp to the icefield, My sherpas were taking a shortcut with me over a steeper ice slope as opposed to the standard route, which I descended. A fixed rope leads from the start of the snowridge to the false summit, so still not too much to worry about for anyone who has already some experience with mountaineering equipment

  • The climbing Sherpas are Pasang Kaji (P.K.) Sherpa and Nyima Dawa (N.D.) Sherpa. They did a great job and I was very happy with them.
