I was not very keen on returning to Cho Oyu this autumn, but Erik finally convinced me to give it one more try. While the weather kept me from summiting last year, a bad troath and chest-infection stopped me effectively at 7500 metres this year. But failing to summit is nothing compared to the fate of Guy. He never got down again.

Erik and myself arrived Kathmandu a couple of days ago. Tomorrow we will leave to Tibet together with the other members on Cho Oyu 2008 expedition. You can follow the dispatches at Fieldtouring.

Boudhanath in Kathmandu

I recently arrived back to Kathmandu after the Cho Oyu Expedition. I did not summit because of difficult weather, but climbed at least to 7400m.
