OVERVIEW
Cho Oyu (8201m) is the sixth highest mountain in the world, located a short distance to the west of Everest in the Khumbu region of Eastern Nepal along the Tibetan border.
There are no technical sections and the objective dangers are close to non-existent. Its relatively easy access makes it an attractive climb for someone with limited time, as it can be attempted in roughly 6 weeks round trip. Base Camp is accessible by jeep and it is possible to reach Kathmandu on a very long day from Base Camp.
Because of its ease of access, ABC is often crowded with a large number of expeditions. Just west of Cho Oyu is the Nangpa La, the old trade route between the Khumbu Sherpas and Tibet.
It was the third such peak climbed, and the first climbed by light expedition and in autumn. Herbert Tichy, Joseph Jöchler, and Sherpa Pasang Dawa Lama of an Austrian expedition first climbed the mountain on October 19, 1954, via the northwest ridge.
