Island Peak 6160m

Seen from above Dingboche the mountain does indeed resemble an island in a sea of ice. In 1983 it was renamed Imja Tse (6,189 m, although for most people the descriptive name of Island Peak seems to have been retained). This peak involves one steep and exposed 100 m ice or snow climb, otherwise its non-technical snow climb is enjoyable and offers some of the most striking scenery in the Khumbu. The mountain itself is really an extension of the South ridge of Lhotse Shar and is separated from it by a small col.
