"I measured the double summit bump, both 8203m at eye level with 50 readings, a full 12 satellites visible, horizontal error of +-5 metres. You can't quite see the Gokyo lakes, but the summit is obvious," reported Jamie about the peak's hard to find summit. "Although climbers call it the summit plateau, it is on enough of an angle that there is no mistaking the real summit in good weather."
