The “Nuptse” is situated in the Khumbu Himal
just south-west of Mount Everest. Nuptse I (7855m) was
first sumited by a British expedition on the north-ridge
(Scott-route) on May 16, 1961 by Dennis Davis and Sherpa
Tashi. Nuptse shares in the glory of the Everest Massif
and is the southern border of the Western Cwm Viewed from
the Thangboche Monastery it appears as a massive wall
guarding the approach to Everest. The name Nup-tse is
Tibetan and means west-peak, as it is the western part
of the Lhotse-Nuptse-massif. The main ridge, which is
separated from Lhotse by a 7556m high saddle, is crowned
by 7 peaks and goes west-northwest until its steep west-face
drops down more than 2300m to the Khumbu-glacier.
The North Face is supporting an expedition to climb a
new route on the North Face of Nuptse. This route is an
extremely steep ice and rock mixed climb called "The
Snake".The steep and rocky south-face of Nuptse is
2500m high and 5 kilometers wide. The north slopes are
rising from the Western-Cwm valley with the upper part
of the Khumbu-glacier above its famous icefall.
