  • @dhbiza If you knew anything about mountaineering, Everest is considered an easy peak to climb (technically). There are much more difficult peaks, including K2 and others. Just about anyone with enough money can summit Everest. Everest really isn't as big a deal as it used to be. 

  • @ThePresterJohn its not litter. They are prayer flags from the sherpas. They belive that when you write on them the wind blows the prayers to the gods and it will help climbers. The colors represent wood, fire, iron, earth, wind, and water. Hope this helps

  • @dhbiza point but it would diffrent to climb that mountain alpine style, not with an expedition company

  • @hemming57 Most likely to be due to the topography and the distance between both the mountains. Just because they are are the same massif doesn't mean the higher should have the name, they are both mountains in their own right :)

  • @ThePresterJohn They're prayer flags, Tibetan tradition i think....

  • I dont know...I used to be in awe of these mountaineers, but now I see a women has climbed Everest. So what was the big deal?

  • Why do they litter every summit ?

  • *Whoops, Lhotse Shar is east of Lhotse, not north.

  • If a mountain is over a certain prominence above the col between it and another mountain (say Everest) then it is considered a mountain in it's own right. In the Himalayas I think it's more than 400m prominence. The South col that connects Everest and Lhotse is about 8000m, and Lhotse is about 8500m, while Everest is about 8800m. Lhotse Shar for example, a peak north of Lhotse but part of the same mass, is not above this range and is therefore considered a sub-peak of Lhotse.

  • Why isn't Lhotse considered the south summit of Everest?
