Nuptse is situated in the Khumbu Himal just southwest of Mount Everest. The name Nup-tse is tibetan and means west-peak, as it is the western part of the Lhotse-Nuptse-massif. The main ridge, which is separated from Lhotse by a 7556m high saddle, is crowned by 7 peaks and goes west-northwest until its steep west-face drops down more than 2300m to the Khumbu-glacier. The steep and rocky south-face of Nuptse is 2500m high and 5 kilometers wide. The north slopes are rising from the Western-Cwm valley with the upper part of the Khumbu-glacier above its famous icefall. From there the main summit Nuptse I (7861m) was first climbed on the north-ridge (called Scott-route) on May 16, 1961 by Dennis Davis and Sherpa Tashi from a british expedition. From then until Sept.1996 the main summit has been climbed only two more times.
