Cho Oyu
The 'easiest' 8,000-meter peak, the world's sixth highest/Mountains
Cho Oyu (8,188 meters) is the sixth-highest mountain in the world, situated on the Nepal-Tibet border about 20 kilometers west of Everest. Despite its great height, it is widely considered the 'easiest' of the fourteen 8,000-meter peaks due to its relatively gentle slopes and low technical difficulty on the standard northwest ridge route. First climbed on October 19, 1954, by Austrian Herbert Tichy, Joseph Joechler, and Pasang Dawa Lama, it has become a popular acclimatization climb for those preparing to attempt Everest. The name means 'Turquoise Goddess' in Tibetan.
