Czech mountaineer Marek Holeček announced that this morning he and Radek Groh are setting off to attempt a first ascent of a new route up the southeast face of Cho Oyu (8,188 m) from the Nepalese side. Mára posted the news yesterday evening on Facebook.

Look:
"And here we go.
The time for overstepping, hesitation is over. Early tomorrow morning, when you will still be drooling on your pillows in peace, we will start cutting the first meters from the overgrown goddess. From now on, the news will only be short, to save batteries. So whoever has a moment of time and desire, give us a thought, or just keep your fingers crossed. Because it will definitely come in handy in the coming days.
Thanks Maara
