metres (27,940 ft) above sea level,
Lhotse Middle (East) is 8,414 m (27,605 ft) and Lhotse Shar is

Climbing[edit]
An early attempt on Lhotse was by the 1955 International
Himalayan Expedition, headed byNorman
Dyhrenfurth.It also included two Austrians (cartographer Erwin
Schneider and Ernst Senn) and two
Swiss (Bruno Spirig and Arthur Sphel), and was the first
expedition in the Everest area to include
Americans (Fred Beckey,George Bell,and Richard McGowan). The
Nepalese liaison officer was
Gaya Nanda Vaidya. They were accompanied by 200 local porters
and several climbingSherpas.
After a brief look at the dangerous southern approaches of
Lhotse Shar, they turned their attention,
during September and October, to the West Cwm and the northwest
face of Lhotse, on which they
achieved an altitude of about 8,100 metres (26,600 ft). They
were beaten back by unexpectedly
strong wind and cold temperatures. Under Schneider's direction
they completed the first map of the
Everest area (1:50,000photogrammetric). The expedition also made
several short films covering
local cultural topics, and made a number of first ascents of
smaller peaks in theKhumburegion.[3]
The main summit of Lhotse was first climbed on May 18, 1956 by
theSwissteam ofErnst
ReissandFritz Luchsingerfrom the Swiss Mount Everest/Lhotse
Expedition.[4]On May 12,
1970,Sepp MayerlandRolf WalterofAustriamade the first ascent of
Lhotse Shar.[5]
Lhotse Middle
remained, for a long time, the highest unclimbed named point on
Earth; on May 23, 2001, its first
ascent was made by Eugeny Vinogradsky, Sergei Timofeev, Alexei
Bolotov and Petr Kuznetsov of
aRussianexpedition.
