MEETING & CLIMBING INFORMATION
Cho Oyu 8201m. Expedition begins you
well coming from Kathmandu where you
meet the staff of Monterosa Treks &
Expedition in the airport and Trasfer
you to Hotel. Next day, is the start of
the introduction of Expedition crews and
the joining of the team members. Since
then we make your Tibet visa and other
necessary document for the Cho Oyu
Expedition.
3 day after we drive you up the
Friendship bridge through Arnico Highway
Nepal-Tibet border; where the Chinese
liaison officer and Chinese transport
meet us there. The expedition gears go
by truck while we travel by Land cruiser
4wd. We take time to acclimatize with
one night at Zhangmu (2300m) and two
nights at Nylam (3750m), which also
gives us the chance to trek up high
hills for acclimatization.
Next day we drive to Tingri (4350m)
where we spend a further two nights
acclimatizing. From here we leave the
main rough road with jerking & bouncing
grassy plain leading up to the Nangpa
La.
We set up base camp at a place called
Chinese Base Camp 5,000m. and stay two
nights or more, depending on how
everyone feels and we make schedules of
the yaks. Base camp is a temporary but
comfortable affair with Nepali cook and
dining tent. Now the walking begins with
the two-day walk to advanced base camp
(ABC).
ABC is in the heart of the Himalayan at
5700m, surrounded by celestial peaks and
close by is the high pass, an old but
still used yak track trading route
between Nepal and Tibet.
ABC is the route of superb scene of the
Cho Oyu. This is the main base camp and
we plan to stay here for the longer
duration to look the favorable situation
for the expedition. Every person gets
their own tent there.
Our Service will be full board up to ABC
and after that the climbers should
manage all services by themselves.
From ABC it is several hours of tough
walking on a vague path over
moraine-covered glacier to the start of
the mountaineering properly
After a short, steep climb is the Lake
Camp (Camp 1 - 6050m.) where you have a
tent to store the gear.
Camp 1 is two hours far through the
steep screen slope, which improves you
the higher climb.
Camp 1 is either perched more or less on
the ridge at 6400m. And the real
mountaineering starts from here. The
ridge is now soft and so easy enough
climbing, then it broadens out and we
climb successive huge steps, several of
which probably require fixing a rope up.
We should fix a new rope in co-operation
with other expeditions on the mountain.
Normally one rope is used for ascent and
another for descent. Although the route
is crevassed, normally these create no
problems.
Camp 2 is on the edge of a large plateau
at 7125m although you will carefully
assess where to put the rope. Depending
on conditions and fitness you may
attempt the summit from here, or you may
establish a light Camp 3 across the
plateau and up on a minor ridge at
7550m. Above Camp 3 are two rocky steps
where you fix another set of ropes prior
to our summit ascent.
Summit day means a very early start in
the morning. Above the rock bands the
slopes are still reasonably steep and
you may take a line to fix there,
depending on conditions. However once on
the crest of this ridge the terrain is
straightforward although it is a long
haul to the summit plateau.
The panorama is breathtakingly
magnificent, including Everest 8848m,
Lhotse 8501m, Nuptse 7855m, Chamlang
7319m, Ama Dablam 6856m and other peaks
of the Everest region to the east and
south. To the west are the Melungtse and
Gauri Sankar massifs and to the north is
pure Tibet. It is normal to descend to
Camp 2 and from here and continue down. |
