Topographic Architecture of Pumori
Pumori is a majestic 7,161-meter pyramidal mountain in the Mahalangur section of the Himalayas, rising eight kilometers west of Mount Everest on the international border between Nepal and Tibet. George Mallory bestowed its name, which translates in the Sherpa language to 'Mountain Daughter' or 'Unmarried Daughter', honoring its geographic proximity to Everest. Standing directly opposite Kala Patthar and Gorak Shep, Pumori presents an iconic triangular spire of ice and granite that dominates the upper Khumbu Valley. The summit was first reached on May 17, 1962, by German alpinist Gerhard Lenser as part of a German-Swiss expedition via the Southeast Ridge.
