Cho-Oyu 2018

Lyudmila Korobeshko: Hurray! There is the summit of Cho-Oyu! On September 28 at 11 am our team climbed the sixth highest peak of the World - Cho-Oyu! Our team: Irina Zisman, Dmitry Ghinculov, three of our brave Sherpa - Pasang, Dorjee and Norbu, and I, Lyudmila Korobeshko, the leader of the expedition. It was not easy: wind, cold, height. But we overcame everything!

  Hi!  There is Lyudmila Korobeshko from the Cho-Oyu expedition. So, yesterday, September 28, our team stood on top of Cho-Oyu, the sixth highest mountain in the world. Dmitry Ghinkulov, Irina Zisman, Lyudmila Korobeshko and our three Sherpas, without whom the expedition would have been much more difficult. In principle, we were lucky with the weather. Although not everything was so simple.  The wind was strong, it was cold. And also we got a night in a traffic jam due to the large Chinese team. We all bravely overcame it and climbed to the top of Cho-Oyu. Yesterday we went down from the top to camp 1 and spent the night at 6400.

 Today I'm calling from our actual base camp, ABC camp, at 5700 altitude. We are ready to accept congratulations… Tomorrow, September 30, we are already going down and are already leaving for civilization.

 All members of the expedition are happy, feel good and send greetings  to family and friends!

Greetings from the Cho-Oyu team! The expedition  continues. Yesterday we went down after a night at 7100. The acclimatization stage is over. Now we rest and wait for the weather.  The route has not yet been made, as long as the fixed ropes are only up to camp 2, 7100. Weather turned bad. Nothing is clear yet.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, head of expedition to Cho-Oyu:

We went down below ABC camp on the day of rest to catch the net. And it managed to be done.   So look at the photos, how we climbed to the camp 1 on 6400. Today we rest. Tomorrow we leave for three days in camps 1 6400 m and 2 7100 m.

Greetings from Lhasa, from Lyudmila Korobeshko and team climbing Cho-Oyu!  The third day of our expedition began. Yesterday, as promised, we attended a historic show about the Chinese Princess Wencheng and her arrival in Tibet. Today we leave Lhasa and drive to Shigatse, where we buy everything for a good night's sleep - blankets, pillows and wine.

 The most famous Princess of China and Tibet Wencheng, revered by the Tibetans as the goddess of mercy, saw us off with a smile and a kind words. By the way, the mountain we are going to is translated as "the Goddess of turquoise". Beautiful!

Lyudmila Korobeshko, head of the expedition, from Lhasa: Group Cho-Oyu-2018 arrived in Lhasa.  The captain of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov decided to conduct our expedition to Lhasa. Next, we will move on our own. Irina Zisman and Dmitry Ghinculov feel fine, a height of 3700 has no visible problems…

 In September, the 7 Summits Club organizes two expeditions to Himalayan eight-thousanders Cho-Oyu and Shisha Pangma! 

 September 5^th the expedition to Cho-Oyu starts under the leadership of our Director, Lyudmila Korobeshko. The group consists of three members and a leader. And on September 10^th  Sergey Larin's team goes after them. Our irreplaceable doctor of Everest expeditions and honored guide leads the expedition to Shisha Pangma.  This will be the first attempt of the 7 Summits Club to climb this mountain.
