From ABC, we can see the excellent view of mount Cho Oyu. This is the main base camp where we spend majority of time looking the favorable condition for the expedition. Single tent is given to each individual. We fully serve our member up to ABC and after that the climbers should manage all services by themselves privately. From ABC it is several hours strenuous walk on a vague path over moraine-covered glacier to the start of the mountaineering properly. Camp 1 is either situated on some ridge at 6400m from where actual mountaineering begins. The ridge is now considerable and you should climb successive huge steps, several of which probably require fixing a rope up there. You should fix a new rope co-operating with other members on the mountain. One-one rope is used for both ascending and descending in normal. Though it is cleft route, it does not create problem to move ahead.

The panorama of Mount Cho Oyu from Summit Camp 2 is on the edge of a large plateau at 7125m and you can carefully assess to put the rope here. You may attempt the summit from here if you are fit enough or you may establish a light Camp 3 across the plateau and up on a minor ridge at 7550m. Above Camp 3, there are two rocky steps where you should fix another set of ropes prior to our ascending. Finally, in the early morning you will start for summit from camp 3. The slopes are steep above the rock bands and you may take a line to fix there as per favorable conditions, however once on the crest of this ridge the terrain is straightforward along a long haul to the summit plateau.
