Lhotse Middle, Qomolangma

Lhotse Middle, is a subsidiary peak of 8,410 metres in elevation that sits in the middle of a ridge between its parent peak, the eight-thousander, Lhotse 8,516 metres, and another subsidiary peak, Lhotse Shar 8,383 metres. In 2013, a proposal by Nepal to the International Climbing and Mountaineering Federation to have Lhotse Middle designated as standalone eight-thousanders was not successful due a perceived lack of topographic prominence. Right beside the peak is the smaller subsidiary peak of Lhotse Central II (8,372 metres; sometimes the term West tower and East tower are used to distinguish Lhotse Central I and Lhotse Central II, respectively.
