CHO OYU EXPEDITION FROM TIBET |
|
Cho Oyu stands high
above the Tibetan plains on the Nepal /
Tibet border, and is an ideal choice for
mountaineers ready to test themselves on
the eight thousanders. 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, Chinese, 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. |
