Climbing team departs for Tibet to attempt Shishapangma and Cho Oyu

Kathmandu : A team of climbers, including Sherpas, has departed for Tibet this morning as part of the Seven Summit Treks’ Shishapangma and Cho Oyu expedition.

SST’s General Manager Thaneswar Guragai confirmed the team’s departure. The expedition is led by renowned climber Chhang Dawa Sherpa.

A rope-fixing team from Seven Summit Treks is already on the way to Shishapangma base camp to prepare a route for this climbing season, Guragai informed.

If weather permits, the climbing team will attempt both the peaks by the second or third week of October, he added.

Dawa has successfully guided numerous climbers to the summits of 8000-meter peaks. His record-breaking achievements included the first K2 winter ascent by 10 Nepali mountaineers in 2021 under his leadership and being the youngest climber to conquer all 14th peaks above 8000 metres at the age of 30.
