Cho Oyu means "Turquoise Goddess" in Tibetan. It is the sixth highest mountain in the world at 8,201 m above sea level at the position of latitude 28° 05' 37" and longitude 86° 39' 43" just 20 km west of Mount Everest, in the eastern part of Nepal at Khumbu Region along the Tibetan border.
Just a few kilometers west of Cho Oyu is Nangpa La (5,716m/18,753 ft), a glaciated pass that serves as the main trading route between the Tibetans and the Khumbu's Sherpas. Due to its proximity to this pass and the generally moderate slopes of the standard northwest ridge route, some climbers consider Cho Oyu to be the easiest 8,000 m peak to climb, and it is a popular objective for professionally guided parties.
The mountain was first climbed on October 19, 1954, via the north-west ridge by Herbert Tichy, Joseph Jöchler and Sherpa Pasang Dawa Lama of an Austrian expedition. This expedition is an excellent opportunity for climbers to extend their experience to extreme altitudes and is highly recommended as a first 8,000m Peak, or as a steppingstone to an attempt on Everest. The comparative ease of access, lack of objective dangers and generally uncomplicated terrain makes Cho Oyu the most attainable of the world’s highest mountains.
