The Fall 2009 Himalayan season continues with teams on Cho Oyu, Manaslu, Shishapangma and Everest. It is still early in most team’s acclimatization schedules. For example, IMG’s Cho Oyu team has spent only one night at Camp 1 and Altitude Junkies have just reached base camp on Manaslu. I believe there are only two teams on Everest is Fall, a Basque and an Indo Tibetan Border Police team who is attempting to ski down from the summit.

In spring it is Everest, in the fall it is Cho Oyu serving as the most popular 8000m climbs. With unrest in Tibet and their own Olympic torch agenda, the Chinese restricted access the past two years but 2009 is back to normal with over 10 expeditions.
