Southwest face of Mt. Lhotse. The height of th exposed face is nearly 2 km. In the lower part: Miocene leucogranites with high grade schists (Rongbuck Formation); they are overlying by light colored, banded calc-silicate rocks (North Col Formation). North-northeast trending normal faults are highlighted by displacement of calc-silicate rocks
