According to http://www.tourism.gov.np/1310peaks.htm (if it is correct (and due to the state of their website it might not be)), shouldn`t the geo coordinates of the peak be:



28.0936, 86.6619 ?



(Where did you get your coordinates from?)



thx

second ever ascent of an 8000 meter peak

Hi Janne,

You write "1985 In Februari Cho Oyu was climbed for the first time in the winter. It was also the second ever ascent of an 8000 meter peak."

This was the fourth 8000m peak to be climbed in winter after Everest (1980), Manaslu (1984) and Dhaulagiri (1985).

Re: second ever ascent of an 8000 meter peak

Hmmm. Must be a rest from the former maintainer's info. "Second ascent ever of an 8000 meter peak".
Really incorrect info!
Thanks for proof reading. Info will change NOW!
