An attempt on Lobuje East, 1991



Friday, 18 October 1991 – Based at Gokyo: One of the highlights of our Lobuje East expedition was climbing Gokyo Ri, also known as Gokyo Peak (5,360 metres). The view from the summit is one of the best I’ve seen anywhere in the world. This is a photograph looking up at Gokyo Ri from the shores of Dudh Pokhari / Milk Lake. Parts of the trail that heads diagonally from right to left up the initial slopes of the peak are visible in the left-hand half of the picture.
