The peak, which lies due south of the Tesi Lapcha,
is unnamed on the Schneider Rolwaling Himal map, but is given a spot
height of 6,273 metres (20,581ft). The Mandala Lamasangu to Everest map
calls the peak Parchoma, which is quite possibly a spelling mistake. Both
Shipton's and Gregory's expedition surveys gave the peak an altitude close
to 6,318 metres (20,700ft).
Seen from
the pass the mountain is an attractive but straightforward snow peak
with a well defined north by north west ridge rising from the relatively
flat, crevassed glacier astride the Tesi Lapcha. To the west of the
ridge the face forms a uniform snow slope broken by crevasses and small
seracs rising from the rocky lower buttresses above the Drolambau
Glacier.
Parchamo
peak has become a designer climb for trekkers crossing the high Tasi
Lapcha (5,755m/18,875ft) to Namche
