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.
