March 25-30, April 13-18, May 04-09, Oct. 03-08,15-20, Nov 24-29, Dec 01-05, Dec 09-13.Departure Dates:September to December, March to May
Lobuche:There are two distinct summits to Lobuje Peak - Lobuje East (6119m/20070ft) and Lobuje West (6145m/20161ft). Lobuje is an attractive summit, offering a variety of existing routes and a wide scope for new lines. Seen from near Pheriche, the dark triangle of its rocky East Face rises above the moraines of the Khumbu Glacier to an icy skyline. This skyline forms the South Ridge, the junction of the East Face with the glaciated South-West Face and the line of the normal route of ascent. This in turn leads to the summit ridge running northwest from the top of East Face through several small summits to the East Peak. Lobuche East is the hardest of the trekking peaks that commercial groups attempt.
In the Everest Region (Khumbu) only Kwangde and Kusum Kangru are more difficult. The main peak of Lobuche is Lobuche West and is not included in the trekking peak permit. Therefore for a legal climb to Lobuche West (Main Peak) an Expedition Peak Permit is required which is considerably more expensive. Now follows a description of Lobuche East (20075ft, 6119m 27 58 08N, 86 47 04S). Good conditions and a dawn or pre-dawn start is recommended.
The average gradient for the entire climb is not steep, but there are areas of messy seracs that require two axes, front pointing and belaying. The ridge route is sometimes easier. Many climbers who take this approach stop at the top of the ridge, thinking this is the summit of Lobuche East. But infact a continuation on the knife-edged ridge is needed (roped!) to reach the true summit.
There are three itinerary options for Lobuche Mountaineering Instruction Course:
A. Self-acclimatizing, and joining the course in the mountain village of Dzongla. (6 days): Departure:March 25-30, April 13-18, May 04-09, Oct. 03-08,15- 20,Nov 24-29.From:Dzongla to DzonglaGrade:Difficult Season:Oct-Nov, Mar- Apr-May Max Elevation:6,119 m Cost:£650 per person including Air Ticket

PM - Depart Cho La for Lobuje base Camp 5400m Day 04 :Climb to high camp Day 05:Summit day (early start!) Day 06:Floating day to allow for bad weather or illness Trekking Peak Equipment List:Friendship Trek will provide the technical climbing equipment, including: harness, axes, helmets, crampons, carrabinas, ropes and base camp camping and cooking equipments.
