Cho Oyu (8201m), on the border of Nepal and Tibet, is the sixth highest mountain in the world and often regarded as the most straightforward of the 8000m peaks. The north west face of Cho Oyu, climbed from Tibet, takes us up easy angled snow slopes with one steep serac barrier to pass at around 6400m.
