Special Considerations:
- On this expedition you will be climbing in the ‘death zone’. Beginning with an imaginary line at 8,000m the oxygen in the atmosphere is so sparse that the human body cannot stay for prolonged periods of time. Climbing on oxygen on Everest is standard practice and lightweight, state of the art systems are provided for all of our members.
This is your opportunity to tag 2X8000m peaks in one season!
This program is at the cutting edge of Himalayan climbing and CTSS is proud to be the only company to be offering it commercially. Why not use your acclimatization from Cho Oyu to quickly summit another 8000m peak while you’re already in the region? This is your opportunity to enter the record books with the tiny number of elite climbers that have summited 2 X 8000m peaks in one season.
We will acclimatize on and climb Cho Oyu first before heading to Manslu to make a speed ascent, as we’re already well acclimatized to the extreme altitude. Summiting 2X8000m peaks is a rare feat that has only been accomplished by a select handful of people. Let us know if you have interest in this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
