 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 thou sanders.
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, in a
sweep you take in 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. Base Camp, Chinese,
is situated at an altitude of 5000m with the advanced
base camp at 5700m and about three miles away from
the mountain proper. Base camp is established at Rongbuk
glacier at 5180m though the real climbing starts at
camp 1 at an elevation of 7000m.
