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.
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
