Khumbu Himal, Sagarmatha
Pokhalde (5,806 m) was first
climbed in 1953 via the Kongma
La along its north ridge by the
1953 Everest Expedition team led
by John Hunt. Pokhalde looks
like a crenulated rocky ridge
dominated by the vast bulk of
Nuptse when seen from Nuptse.
The mountain has a small hanging
glacier, which is best reached
along the ridge rising from the
Kongma La, on its northern side.
Although the summit is
comparatively smaller than the
rest, it provides a good
viewpoint. |
