    Its lower peak, Lhotse Shar, 8383m, is sometimes considered a separate 8000m peak, Lhotse, which means "South peak" and is part of the Everest massif. The primary route on Lhotse is via Everest's South Col. but by 1955, despite the activity on Everest Lhotse was the highest unclimbed peak in the world.

One member of the party was Erwin Schneider, during this expedition he began work on the first of the series of high-quality "Schneider maps of the Everest region. The same Swiss party that made the second ascent of Everest in 1956 made the first ascent of Lhotse from a camp just below the South Col.
