TODAY IN ADVENTURE | | Unlocking Cho Oyu | | On October 19th (that’s today!), 1954, Herbert Tichy led a climbing party up the northwest ridge to the first successful summit of Cho Oyu. At 26,906 feet, Cho Oyo is the sixth tallest mountain in the world, and it is the most accessible summit of the world’s 14, eight thousand meter peaks due to the proximity of a glaciated mountain pass that Tibetans and the Khumbu’s Sherpas use as their main trading route. Initial climbing parties, however, including Sir Edmund Hilary’s attempt in 1952, were turned away by the challenging climb. It was not until Tichy and his men unlocked the northwest ridge with a challenging high elevation crux move, that Cho Oyo became known as the easiest of the world’s highest summits to climb. | | |
