Formerly called Mehra Peak or simply
Mehra, this attractive mountain rises to
the north of the Kongma La above the
Khumbu glacier opposite Lobuje, and is
one of several small summits, including
Pokalde, that make up the long
South-West Ridge of Nuptse, between the
Khumbu and Nuptse Glaciers. Seen from
Gorak Shep, the summit has a diamond
shaped hanging glacier above a steeply
inclined rock wall that makes up the
mountain's North Face, which is in turn
slashed by a diagonal ice ramp leading
to the lower edge of the glacier.
From the south the mountain is much more
approachable. Seen from the lakes east
of the Kongma La, a small, stepped
glacier descends from the summit between
long, rocky arms that make up the
mountain's South and South-East Ridges.
The margins of the glacier provide the
normal route of ascent.
As with Pokalde the views from the
summit are spectacular, especially so
because of the nearness of the massive
south face of Nuptse. The views
northwards towards Pumori and the Lho La
are also outstanding.
