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.
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.
