Tibet - Mt. Qowowuyag (Cho Oyu) rising 8,201 m above sea level at 86.9* E and 28* N, is situated in the middle section of the Himalayas, with the north side lying in the Tingri County. Cho Oyu, the sixth highest mountain in the world, has only recently become a popular mountain to climb. It is known to be one of the easier of the world's fourteen 8.000 meter mountain. This is because the ascent to the summit is short and direct, with a few small technical sections climbed in safety using fixed ropes. Additionally, the mountain can be easily reached by four-wheel-drive vehicle.

We'll drive to Chinese base camp via Kodari and Nyalam, acclimatizing en route. After necessary preparations, we will ascend to advanced base camp at 5,700m. We'll cross through steep moraines to establish Camp 1 at 6,400m.

Continuing on to Camp 2 at 7,000m we'll cross a ridge and ascend a 50m headwall. All ropes will be fixed for safety. At 7,500m we'll establish Camp 3 on the northwest face. The following day we'll set out for the summit. Summit day is long and arduous, requiring an extra push to reach the true summit on the far end of the high snowfield.
