After being closed to climbing last year, Tibet is open and the usual suspects will be busy.\u00a0Reports have it that more than 350 foreign climbers supported by over 300 Sherpas will be on the five Nepal and Tibet 8000-meter peaks commonly climbed in Autumn: \u00a0Manaslu, Dhaulagiri, Lhotse, Shishapangma and Cho Oyu. Also look for teams on Ama Dablam and Cholastse.<\/p>\n<p>Usually the autumn climbing season is quiet compared to Everest or K2. The climbs are never &#8220;easy&#8221; as advertised by many company&#8217;s but they are &#8220;achievable.&#8221; People die every year on these peaks.

Everest now has over 8,000 summits.\u00a0For many years, the Chinese government has made getting to Cho Oyu a gamble with random border closures and unannounced bans on climbing due to fears of protests involving Tibet. Cho Oyu is generally regarded as one of the most &#8220;attainable&#8221; 8000 meter peaks with a straightforward climb to a huge flat summit and a dramatic view of Everest. It is often used as a climber&#8217;s first 8000 meter climb or as prep for Everest the next year.<\/p>\n<p>For 2018, many commercial teams will be there as it is a regular offering when the Chinese cooperate.
