Cho Oyu - West of Everest
Tim Boelter (2003)
Cho Oyu, West of Everest takes a candid look at the daily struggles associated with an expedition to climb the sixth highest mountain in the world. Although Cho Oyu has been dubbed one of the easiest 8,000-meter peaks to climb, in the rarified air at 26,906 feet, nothing comes easy. Follow this team of climbers as they reveal through their own words, the physical and mental barriers confronted throughout their journey. Although a small handful in this large expedition reaches the summit, a selfless rescue attempt ends in tragedy, proving that no 8,000-meter peak is easy.- 2003

Gyachung Kang
Surendra Singh Thapa (1986)
Gyachung Kang 7952 m is located in the central Himalaya on the border between China and Nepal, thirty kilometers west of Everest, just near Cho Oyu. Only one previous expedition had climbed the mountain. In 1964 two members of a Japanese team had made the first ascent, climbing a snow-gully on the west flank of the south face and then the NW ridge avoiding the last rock step on the Tibetan side. One member had fallen and died below the summit. Since then nobody has attempted the peak. The selection of a route for the expedition involved a major difficulty because of total lack of past information except a photo of the south face in Shiro Sirahata's book.- 1986
