  Cholatse - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cholatse (also known as Jobo Lhaptshan) is a mountain in the Khumbu region of the Nepalese Himalaya.
Cholatse is connected to Taboche (6,501m) by a long ridge.
Cholatse was first climbed via the southwest ridge on April 22, 1982 by Vern Clevenger, Galen Rowell, John Roskelley and Bill O'Connor.

 Solo on Cholatse and Tawoche   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
Twenty-nine-year-old Ueli Steck from Switzerland exported the “enchainment” concept from the Alps to the Himalaya this spring, attempting to solo three difficult north faces in the Everest region.
Psychologically drained by the Cholatse climb, Steck rested for more than a week in basecamp and then soloed the East Face of 21,342-foot Tawoche, choosing a relatively moderate ice line on the left side of the face over the dangerously loose rock wall on the right.
Steck raced up that face in just four and a half hours; it was the first solo ascent of the peak, and thought to be the first ascent by any climber in seven years.

 Ueli Steck Nepal Cholatse Tawoche
The result was the first solo climbs of the Cholatse’s north face (6440m) and the Tawoche’s east face (6505m) – the first time either mountain has been climbed solo.
On what should have been the third ascent of the Ama Dablan’s (6814m) north east face -1700m vertical metres, Ueli Steck wisely decided to retreat at 5900m as the conditions were dangerous due to heavy snowfalls.
Ueli Steck’s first solo climb of the Cholatse’s north face during this expedition was sensational.

 New routes in Nepal? - Alpinist Forums
Unfortunately, their excellent ascent on Cholatse wasn't a new route.
There'd been confusion about the two ajacent faces, and which routes went where, and Kear and Hobby thought they were on an unclimbed face.
Tomaz Humar and team made the same mistake with their springtime (pre-monsoon) ascent on Cholatse, thinking it new but then it was discovered that they, too, had mostly repeated the 84 route.
