Chinese base camp is located just below the Jabula glacier, also known as the Kyetrag or Gyabrag glacier (romanisations of Tibetan have not been finalized). You will rest for a day in Chinese base, to allow for packing and acclimatizing. Chinese basecamp is at around 5,000 meters/16,400 feet.
Advanced basecamp (ABC)-
ABC is located in a glacial moraine with views out to the Nangpa La glacier crossing between Tibet and Nepal. You then spend two days moving up to the "advanced basecamp" at 5,600 metres/18,500 feet, which is actually the true base camp for our climb. From here, you will complete your climb of Cho Oyu, not returning to Chinese base until your expedition is finished.
