Cho Oyu Expedition
Overview
From Cho Oyu base camp, we trek to the advance base camp at 5,700m. We climb through steep moraines to a shoulder at 6,400m where cam 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 Cho oyu camp II at about 7,000m. Climbing Cho Oyu becomes easier and places our Cho Oyu camp III at 7,500m on the North West face. Cho Oyu summit is a long way at the far end with huge snow fields.
