Cho Oyu - 8201M.
|
Country: Tibet |
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.
