Mount Lhotse (8516) was climbed by
a Swiss expedition in 1956. Its lower peak, mount
Lhotse Shar 8383m, sometimes considered a separate
8000m peak, Mount Lhotse , which means "South
peak" is a part of the Everest massif, just
to the south of Everest. The primary route on mount
Lhotse is via Everest's South Col. But by 1955,
despite the activity on Mount Everest, Lhotse was
the highest unclimbed peak in the world.
The first attempt on Mount Lhotse
was by an international team in 1955. One member
of the party was Erwin Schneider; during this expedition,
he began work on the first of the series of high-quality
"Schneider maps of the Everest region".
The same Swiss party that made the second ascent
of Everest in 1956 made the first ascent of Mount
Lhotse from a camp just below the South Col.
Mount Lhotse Shar was first climbed
by an Austrian expedition in 1970. Japanese, South
Koreans, and Germans attempted from various routes
on its main peak. Poles and Italians also climbed
the summit before the summit was reached again by
German expeditions in 1977.
