Baruntse
Baruntse is a four-summited peak in Nepal's Khumbu region, bounded by the Hunku, Barun, and Imja glaciers between Everest and Makalu. It is popular as an acclimatization/training climb for 8,000 m peaks, though it has a low success rate due to technical difficulty and unpredictable weather.
