 Rising 8,201m / 26,906 ft. above sea level, situated high above the Tibetan plateau on the Tibet/Nepal border, Cho-Oyu is the highest & easiest of the more straightforward 8000m peaks and the sixth highest mountain in the world is an excellent choice for mountaineers wishing to climb their first 8000 metre peak. Historically, expeditions to Cho-Oyu have a higher rate of success than any other 8000 meter peaks, attributed by two key factors- first, access to the mountain is easy, as it is possible to drive all the way to the mountain. This makes logistical planning much easier than for a Himalayan peak where there is a long approach walk using porters. Secondly, the route is fairly easy and has minimal objective danger.
