OVERVIEW
Cholatse (also known as Jobo Lhaptshan) is a mountain in the Khumbu region of the Nepalese Himalaya. Cholatse is connected to Taboche (6,501m) by a long ridge. The Cho La glacier descends off the east face. The north and east faces of Cholatse can be seen from Dughla, on the trail to Mount Everest base camp.
Cholatse was first climbed via the southwest ridge on April 22, 1982, by Vern Clevenger, Galen Rowell, John Roskelley, and Bill O'Connor. The north face was successfully scaled in 1984. The first solo ascent was accomplished on April 15, 2005, by Ueli Steck through the north face. Mt Cholatse, follows caravan routes after flying to Lukla and trekking to Gokyo, climbing Gokyo Ri for acclimatization, continuing trekking to Cholatse Base Camp, and returning down to Namche and final departure from Lukla.
Comparatively, Cholatse Peak is very hard to climb than other peaks in Nepal. Mt Cholatse is a technically difficult peak it requires careful ascent. We recommended Cholatse peak for those climbers who are experienced in ice and rock climbing. Only a few climbers get success in Cholatse peak climbing. Climbers need a vast mountaineering ability to climb Cholatse peak.
