Kyetrak
The Kyetrak Glacier (also known as the Gyabrag Glacier) runs along the Northern slope of Cho Oyu. It was first explored in 1921, by the British Reconnaissance team, and marks a commonly used route to Advanced Base Camp on the mountain. It is referred to as the “Tichy Route”, a nod to the Austrian team that made the first successful ascent.
