Shishapangma is the fourteenth highest mountain and the lowest
of the eight-thousanders. Shishapangma was the last 8,000 metre peak to be climbed.
The Tibetan name means "crest above the grassy plains". Alternate names
of Shishapangma include Gosainthan (Sanskrit for "place of the saint"),
Xixabangma (Chinese for "bad weather") and Xixabangma Feng.
Shishapangma was first climbed on May 2, 1964 by Hsu Ching and his ten man
Chinese expedition.
On 11 December 2004, Jean-Christophe Lafaille, a French climber, completed
the first solo ascent from a new route on the South face.
