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 expedition will provide logistics, food, support, oxygen, and guidance for a summit attempt on Cho Oyu, the world’s 6th tallest mountain. We begin our trek by meeting in Kathmandu, Nepal, obtaining our Chinese visas, then drive to Tibet via the stunning Kriyong Pass and tour Tibet en route to Cho Oyu base camp. We will then climb the mountain and return to Nepal by driving via Kiryong pass.
