Overview

The first ascent to the Pokhalde peak was in 1953 via Kongma La along its north ridge by John Hunt and his Everest Expedition Team. The peak looks like a crenulated rocky ridge dominated by the huge bulk of Nuptse. The peak has a small glacier, which is best reached along the ridge rising from the Kongma La, on its northern side.
