Country:

| Description |
|
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
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.
