Nuptse is a mountain in the Khumbu
region of the Mahalangur Himal, in the Nepalese
Himalaya. It lies two kilometres WSW of Mount Everest.
Nuptse is Tibetan for "west peak", as it is the western
segment of the Lhotse-Nuptse massif.
The long east-west trending main ridge of Nuptse is
crowned by seven peaks:

The main peak, Nuptse I, was first climbed on May 16,
1961 by Dennis Davis and Sherpa Tashi, members of a
British expedition. After a long hiatus, Nuptse again
became the objective of high-standard mountaineers in
the 1990s and 2000s, with important routes being put up
on its west, south, and north faces.

In addition to the above list of suggested
trekking equipment, you should take along with
various items of mountaineering tools. For any
trip which has crossed by steep, snow-covered
ground, or which has included section of glacier
travel, it might be necessary for the group
roping up as a safety precaution. To facilitate
this process of roping up, you will need to
maintain a minimum requirement, a climbing
harness, a climbing sling and two locking
carabineers. Plastic mountaineering boots, a
mountaineering ice axe and a pair of crampons
with front points are the other items of
equipment, which are required for our trekking
peak trips. (Please note: Our recommendation
that you take no more than 33 pounds of trekking
equipment DOES NOT include your plastic boots,
ice axe, crampons or harness/carabineers. During
the trek, climbing hardware will be carried
separately from your personal trek bag in-group
bags until needed).
An explanation of the equipment that you will
need
Day packs for climbing trips
3000-4000 cubic inches. For climbing trips, you
will be required to carry more warm clothing
during the climbs and also your personal
climbing gear. For this reason, you will need a
slightly bigger daypack than for a trekking-only
trip. If you have any questions about gear,
please do not hesitate to call our office for
advice.
Equipment Rental
In order to minimize your expense outlay for
trekking and climbing equipment you may never
use again, we offer a wide range of equipment
available for rent for the duration of your
trip. All rental equipment can be picked up from
your trip leader upon arrival for your trip
