We were on Cho Oyu last year, I don't know all the information without checking the photo albums from home. I know that we were at 7600m on the 30th of September and we reached around 8060m on the 1st, maybe we reached base camp on the 19th or 20th. We came back because I fainted and lost consciousness for a few minutes up there.

My partner turned back because of fatigue a few minutes before me.

We didn't have Sherpas or oxygen.

We acclimatized up to 6800m, then we came back and climbed to 8000m in the second ascent, after 12 days since arriving in base camp.

It was much too fast without oxygen, we were there for the first time and scared of the weather.

Next time we will be more cautious, we will take it slower.
