Cho Oyu 8201 Lite Expedition 2009 CZ

The only 9 days after we left Kathmandu we reached the summit of beautiful CHO OYU on 1.10.2009:
Zuzana Hofmannova, Olga Novakova, Josef Milfait, Antonin Belik, Pavel Matousek

22.9.2009 morning we left KTM, at noon we are crossing border in Kodari and we overnights in Nyalam
23.9. we went only till Tingri - 3440m.
24.9. going upper. Firstly to Chines /4900/ and then till mezzo camp /about 5300/
25.9.walking to ABC /5700/
26.9. nice weather sustains. We pack our bags and go.
27.9. walking up to CI /6400/
28.9. a bit rest day, only 300 m more up
29.9. to CII /7100/
30.9. moving of tent to C III /7400/
1.10. weather still nice and walking to the summit. Fantastic views: Everest and Lhotse are really superb.

No to climb up by standard route if would be nice alp style ascent, but anyway we are there by our own power on the top of the beautiful mountain. The same day there are other Czechs from expedition of Leopold Sulovsky, that means 9 Czech on the summit in one day, probably the Himalaya Record.

P.S. We could allow so quick progress only because of our prior acclimatisation in Nepal on Tukuche Peak
