Cho Oyu, the world's sixth highest mountain
at 8,201m, lies on the Nepal/Tibet border about 30km west of Mt Everest
at the head of Gokyo valley. It was first attempted during the 1952
Everest reconnaissance by a British team lead by Eric Shipton. The mountain
was first climbed by Austrians in 1954 who reached the summit via the
North-West ridge using a route though Tibet from the Nangpa–La - not
strictly a legal route. An India expedition made the second ascent in
1958 and a German Ski expedition made the third ascent in 1964. Today
more than 12,000 people have stood on the summit as the ascent of Cho
Oyu through Tibet is not particularly difficult.
