The Lhotse South Face Expedition is renowned for its close proximity to Mount Everest, as Lhotse stands at 8,516 metres, making it the fourth-highest mountain in the world. The climbing route largely shares the Everest trail up to the Geneva Spur, after which climbers divert toward the steep and demanding Lhotse Couloir leading directly to the summit.
