Celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the First Ascent of Mt. Cho Oyu

Cho Oyu (8201m) was first climbed by Austrians in 1954. It is about 30km west of Everest at the head of the Gokyo valley. The mountain was reconnoitered during the 1951 Everest reconnaissance, and a British team led by Eric Shipton attempted the peak in 1952. The first ascent was made via the north-west ridge using a route through Tibet from the Nangpa La - not strictly a legal route. An Indian expedition made the second ascent in 1958 and a German ski expedition made the third ascent in 1964. By 1992 a total of 100 expeditions had been made on Cho Oyu. Most of the Nepal-based expeditions had made the illegal approach through Tibet, and the Chinese had dispatched police to try to collect peak permit fees from climbers who crossed the border.
