Changtse (Tibetan for "north peak") is a mountain immediately north of Mount Everest.
The first ascent of Changtse was unofficially made on October 3 1982 by Johan Taks of a Dutch expedition who were officially on a climb of Everest from the north side. However, Taks climbed Changste without a permit. The first official ascent of Changste with a permit was completed 11 days later on October 14 by five members of a German expedition.
