Cho-Oyu is one of the easiest of all 8000m mountains rises 8,201m / 26,906 ft. above sea level at 86° 35' 14''E[[Not allowed]]' 14'' N, situated high above the Tibetan plateau on the Tibet/Nepal border. Cho-Oyu is the highest & and easiest of the more straightforward 8000m peaks and the sixth-highest mountain in the world. It 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 to two key factors- first, access to the mountain is easy, as it is possible to drive to the mountain. This makes logistical planning much easier than for a Himalayan peak with a long approach walk using porters. Secondly, the route is fairly easy and has minimal objective danger. The first camp on the mountain can normally be reached wearing only trekking boots. Above this, the technical sections are short and are all fixed ropes. From base camp at 5700m steep moraines lead to a shoulder at 6400m, the normal site of Camp 1.
