Labuche Kang Expedition

Greetings Climb Nepal followers. First of all, a huge thanks to everyone that has come and visited our blog and followed our adventures the last few years. We really appreciate your support, comments, and good will.

David and I are once again headed back to the Himalaya. For our latest adventure we will be exploring the remote Labuche Kang Massif in Tibet. We'll be posting on a new blog Climb Tibet for you to follow our trip. It is easily linked-to from the upper tab on this website, or please bookmark it for future reference.

The mountains we are visiting center around the massif's highest peak Labuche Kang (7,367 meters, 24,170 feet), which has had once ascent via the West Ridge in 1987 by a Tibetan-Japanese expedition. Nearby are a few more 7,000-meter peaks and many peaks in the high 6,000-meters. Many of these peaks are unclimbed. This little-known range has had only three documented expeditions.

Our plan is to head into the south side of Labuche Kang (aka Lapche Kang, Lobuche Kang, Choksiam) and make our way to below the giant south faces of the massif, where likely no foreign expedition has ever explored.

We'll be posting regular updates on our Climb Tibet Blog: www.climbtibet.blogspot.com, so come back often and check on our progress.

Thanks for visiting!

- Joe and David
