 | | Of the fourteen 8,000m peaks, Cho Oyu is considered among the “easiest” to climb, and statistically, the peak has been summited many times more than several other 8000m mountains. |
 | | Whilst the old Everest risk was 37% and Cho Oyu’s was 2.5%, over the last decade, both rates (summit-fatality) have lessened with Everest’s now at 4.4% and Cho Oyu’s at about 2%. |
 | | At 8,188m, Cho Oyu, the “Turquoise Goddess” is number 6 on the list of the fourteen 8,000m peaks. |
