Lhotse is frequently overlooked by those outside the mountaineering world due to the fame of its nearest neighbour. However, the world's fourth-highest mountain has grown in popularity among climbers seeking a less crowded - and potentially more difficult - alternative to Everest. With its distinctive, dramatic south face rising a near-vertical 3,200m from the glacier below, this 8,516m peak poses significant challenges for serious mountaineers.
