Definition of lhotse

1 sense · 1 part of speech · etymology included

name

A Himalayan mountain on the border between Nepal and China, the fourth highest in the world.

“Mount Everest was only 3 or 4 miles away from us. From it to the South-east swept a huge amphitheatre of mighty peaks culminating in a new and unsurveyed peak, 28,100 feet in height, to which we gave the name of Lhotse, which in Tibetan means the South Peak.”
“These Swiss mountaineers, led by Albert Eggler (third from left), reported from Nepal last week that they had not only conquered Lhotse, at 28,100 feet the world's highest hitherto unclimbed peak, but twice climbed its 29,002-foot twin. Mount Everest, previously scaled only by Sir Edmund Hillary and the Sherpa guide, Tenzing Norgay, in 1953.”
“Steck was in the area acclimatizing ahead of a bid to climb Everest through the less-climbed West Ridge route and traverse to Lhotse, the world's fourth highest peak - at 8,516 meters (27,940 feet) in May.”
