The true summit of Lobuche East proved an elusive goal but the Swiss first climbed rocky outliners of the peak in 1952. Subsequent attempts fell short of the actual summit, soaring above a profound notch at the far end of its long north-west/south-east ridge, finally climbed in 1984. The east face, accessible from Lobuche, has attracted several strong teams. Jeff Lowe has added a difficult route up an icy collar, while Todd Bibler and Catherine Freer climbed the obvious rocky East Ridge.
