Pumori is a mountain on the
China–Nepal border in the
Mahalangur section of the Himalayas. Its peak lies at an elevation of 7,165 metres (23,507 feet) above sea level. Located 8 kilometres (5 miles) west of
Mount Everest, it is sometimes known as "Everest's daughter"; the name
Pumori, meaning 'the mountain daughter' in the
Sherpa language, was coined by the mountaineer
George Mallory. Pumori is a popular climbing peak, the easiest route being graded
class 3, although with significant avalanche danger. Pumori was first climbed in 1962 by a German–Swiss expedition.
