Mount Pumori is a prominent Himalayan peak rising to 7,161 meters (23,494 ft) in the Khumbu Region of northeastern Nepal. Located inside Sagarmatha National Park near the Nepal–Tibet border, the mountain lies just 8 km west of Mount Everest. Its name comes from the Sherpa language, meaning “Unmarried Daughter,” which has led to the popular nickname “Everest’s Daughter.”
The peak was first successfully summited in 1962 by German-Swiss climber Gerhard Lenser via the southeast ridge. Since then, Pumori has become a highly respected objective for experienced mountaineers, offering a demanding combination of steep snow faces, ice slopes, exposed ridges, and technical alpine climbing sections.
