Mt. Cholatse Peak is considered as one of the hardest peak climbing in comparison of the many other mountains peaks of the Nepal.

The North and East face of Cholatse can been seen from Dughla, on the trail to Mt. Everest Base Camp. It was firstly ascended through the Southwest ridge on April 22, 1982 by Vern Clevenger, John Roskelley, Bill O'Connor and Galen Rowell. And its North face was successfully ascended in 1984 and firs solo ascent was accomplished by Ueli Steck in 1984 throughout the North face side.

Mt. Cholatse is a stunning peak with narrow snow, ice ridges and steep faces. It is on the ridge separating the Gokyo and Khumbu valleys, just north of Taboche and just south of a 5420 meter pass used by Sherpas and trekkers alike to travel between the Gokyo and Khumbu valleys. Interestingly, there is a lake just below this pass to the east, and in Tibetan 'cho' is lake, 'la' is pass, and 'tse' is peak. So Cholatse means literally "lake pass peak". Unlike many other mountains, there is no easy way to reach or descend from its summit, so any climb of the mountain is a serious mountaineering undertaking.
Through the 1950's, 60's and 70's, Everest, Ama Dablam and the other named peaks of the Khumbu were climbed by many, but no permits were granted for Cholatse, so it remained unclimbed until 1982 when it was infact the last named but unclimbed peak in the Khumbu. The climb was described as some twenty pitches of difficult ice climbing.
The mountain has not been climbed by commercial companies and none of the routes to the summit have been ascended more than a few times. The South West Ridge, perhaps the easiest on the peak was only repeated in 1993 then in 2005.
