Massive 3500 m South Face of Lhotse is one of the most steep and dangerous mountain walls in the world.

Jerzy Kukuczka died attempting to climb the unclimbed South Face of Lhotse in Nepal on 24 October 1989.

A Russian expedition climbed the South Face later in 1990 and said a solo ascent was impossible.
