IMG Cho Oyu Expedition 2007 led by Mike Hamill - 5 Oct 2007

On 15 Sept eight members and four Sherpas went on an acclimatization climb from C1 to C2 (7100m) and back to C1. This was member's highest point. The members were Catt, Fuertes, Hansen, Jones, Lopez, Maller, Morrow and Smith. Sherpas were Danuru, Karma Rita, Nima Karma and Phu Nuru. They descended to ABC on the 16th to rest.

A party of Sherpas fixed rope to 8000m on the 22nd (from C2 through the yellow band) and having finished that job went down to ABC. This was expedition's highest point.

On the 28th, the same eight members and four Sherpas went back up to C2 while other members were in C1. But the weather was very bad and all went down to ABC on 29th and climb was finished.

Hull left on about 20 September (not strong enough).

Oxygen: Catt and Jones used oxygen sleeping in C2 the night of 28 Sept for their planned push for the summit. No other members, Sherpas or Tibetans used any.
