It is a great training climb for aspiring Everest climbers to see how their body reacts to high altitude – 8,000m. It is very similar to Shishapangma and Broad Peak except that Broad has more sustained steep climbing. There are no features like Everest’s Lhotse Face or Hillary Step on Cho Oyu but the overall atmosphere is similar.
