Mt. Chomo Lonzo main lies in the Kangshung valley and separated from Mt. Makalu by Sakietang-La and Chomo Lonzo has three different summits. It was first ascent by French climber Lionel Terrary and Jean Couzy via South summit (7,804m.) from Mt. Makalu, Nepal side at 1954 and in 1993 a Japanese party made a second ascent from Tibet side following a dangerous line under seracs. Neither the Central Summit (7,540m. or 7,565m.) nor the North Summit (7,199m.) The northeast face seemed challenging but risky, with much snow and threatening seracs.

Mt. Chomo Lonzo Central and North peaks remained unclimbed until 2005. In 1999, an attempt to climb the central peak via its daunting NE pillar was thwarted. In April 2005, a French expedition first explored the NE face but, finding it too challenging, approached the mountain from the West and Northwest instead. One team (Yannick Graziani, Christian Trommsdorff and Patrick Wagnon) climbed the North summit over the NW ridge on May 7, while another (Stéphane Benoist and Patrice Glairon-Rappaz) reached it over the West face on May 16. The first team re-ascended the North peak and continued to reach the central peak on May 21. The initial plan to traverse all three peaks and descend via the Sakietang-La proved impossible.

Mt. Chomo Lonzo three different major Peaks:
Main Summit = 7,804m./25,604ft (South/West Face)
Second Summit = 7,540m. or 7,565m./24,738ft (Central peak)
Third Summit = 7,199m./23,619ft (North or North West)

We CTE will start this trip from the Lhasa by flight from Kathmandu and it takes almost 4 days arrive to Chomo Lonzo manin base camp after having some day’s sight seeing around Lhasa.
