Climbing history
In 1986, a German–Nepalese expedition reached the mountain from the southern Balephi Khola and attempt to climb it over the west ridge. On 11 July 1986, Helmut Müller, Bernd Mayer reached the summit separately; Müller is forced to bivouac at Template:Cvt while descending.[2]
In 1992, Carlos Buhler made a solo climb of Dorje Lhakpa. Buhler did not intend initially to climb solo. The climb became a solo of the West Ridge after Carlos' partner, Jon Aylward, became ill at base camp.[3]
A team from the Yorkshire Ramblers' Club attempted the first British ascent by the west ridge in 1995; deteriorating conditions forced the team to turn back at 6,100m.[4]
