Mt. Cho - Oyu (8201 m.)
 The
mountaineers who wish to climb 8000m peak, Cho Oyu will
be their best choice since the mountain is straight forward
to climb with minimal objective danger and less technically
demanding. Cho Oyu has higher rate of success than other 8000m
peaks simply because of the easy access to the base camp and
short and all fixed technical sections during the climbing.
Normally, three camps are set in the approach. From base camp,
we trek to the advance base camp at 5,700m. We climb through
steep moraines to a shoulder at 6,400m where camp I is set up.
From here we climb up through the ridge and fix rope to climb
a 50m high serac barrier split by a ramp to set up the camp
II at about 7,000m. The climbing becomes easier and place our
camp III at 7,500m on the north west face. The summit is a long
way at the far end with huge snow fields.
