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 our “Cadillac” signature program in terms of setting yourself up for success on Cho Oyu. Not only will you be under the direct guidance of a private Western guide who can coach you throughout the whole expedition, give you valuable feedback, be available if there are any medical issues and make your climbing experience more enjoyable overall, you will also enjoy the company and camaraderie of a personal Sherpa who will assist you with your load carrying, thereby reducing your personal weight, help you at the end of a long day with food preparation above base camp, and serve as an additional set of eyes on you at all times.
Your extra oxygen will start from Camp 2 which will keep you energized and warmer, mitigating the risk of frostbite, aiding in recovery and can be considered an extra layer of insurance when you are climbing at extreme altitude.
