Cholatse (also known as Jobo Lhaptshan) 21,128 feet/6440 meters is a mountain in the Khumbu region of the Nepalese Himalaya and is connected to Mt. Taboche (6,501m) by a long ridge. The Chola glacier descends off the east face. The north and east faces of Cholatse can be seen from Dughla, on the trail to Mt. Everest base camp.

Cholatse is considered a difficult ascent and was first climbed via the southwest ridge on April 22, 1982 by Vern Clevenger, Galen Rowell, John Roskelley and Bill O'Connor. The north face was successfully scaled in 1984. The first solo ascent was accomplished on April 15, 2005 by Ueli Steck through the north face.

Guided by top alpinist and guide Fabrizio Zangrilli November 2009.
