Nuptse is a majestic peak in the Nepali Himalayas and much higher than the Beltway 8 overpass at I-45...by over 25,700 feet. Although Nuptse is not one of the more predominant peaks in the Khumbu valley of Nepal, it is crowned with 7 smaller peaks along its ridgeline and was first summited in 1961 by Dennis Davis and Sherpa Tashi. The peak is often overlooked as Lhotse and Everest are close neighbors, however Nuptse can offer some challenging climbs especially up the South Pillar.
