I'm currently in the planning stages for Cho Oyu for the fall of 2016 or spring 2017 from the Tibet side. I have done a good amount of research on the climb and decided to go for Base Camp service only with one of the following logistic companies: 1. summitclimb.com/new/default… 2. sevensummittreks.com/package ... yu-89.html
Both have good reputation for base camp service. The cost will be between USD 6,000-8,000 from Kathmandu to Kathmandu. I'll go with the cheaper outfitter.
I plan to follow a similar schedule to that of International Mountain Guides found here: mountainguides.com/cho-oyu-….
I plan to climb with no oxygen and no Sherpa support. I have previously made the summit of Manaslu, another 8,000m peak without oxygen in 2012, a couple of 7,000m peaks and a bunch of other mountains around the world. I spent 7 months in Nepal on my last trip and is fairly familiar with the country. I'm looking for a partner with similar experiences. Ideally you would have climbed an 8,000m peak.
Give me a shout if you are an independent climber and don't want to pay a boat load of cash to climb an 8,000m peak. You must also love Dal-Bhat. This is not an option.
