Talk:Nuptse

Elevation

There doesn't seem to be a consensus on the height of Nuptse I. Some web sites say 7,861 or 7,879 metres. The two maps (from Kathmandu) that I have say 7,896 or 7,879 metres. RedWolf 04:56, May 9, 2004 (UTC)

Nuptse is a mountain in the Khumbu region of the Mahalangur Himal, a part of the Nepalese Himalayas. It lies 2 kilometres (1.2 mi) to the southwest of Mount Everest. The main peak, Nuptse I, with an elevation of 7,861 metres (25,791 ft), was first climbed in 1961 by Dennis Davis and Sherpa Tashi.
