CHO OYU EXPEDITION
Cho Oyu stands high above the Tibetan plains on the Nepal / Tibet border, and is
an ideal choice for mountaineers ready to test themselves on the eight
thousanders. The world's sixth highest mountain, is to the locals a holy
mountain. It was first climbed by S. Moechler, H. Tichy and p. Dawa Lama in
1954. On a good day the view from the summit plateau is breathtaking,
you can witness the entire panorama of Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Chamlang, Ama Dablam
and other peaks of the Khumbu.
The Austrians were the first to step onto the
snow-dome summit of Cho Oyu back in 1954. This massif is arguably the most
technically straightforward, accessible and safe to climb. These days there are
more than four different routes on Cho Oyu with the Tibetan north side offering
several worthy first ascent possibilities.
We enter Tibet via Zhangmu and then drive to Old Tingri, from where the
trekking begins. Chinese Base Camp is situated at an altitude of 5000m with
the Advanced base camp at 5700m and about three miles away from the mountain
proper.
