Oh well it must be correct then!

There again, Michael Groom has it at 8201m, so does the Chinese Tibetan Mountaineering Association 'CTMA' (according to their permit), so does Alan Hinks, Dan Mazur, Guy Cotter, Russell Brice, this list can continue!!!!

Cho Oyu - the "Turquoise Goddess" in Tibetan - is located at the frontier of Tibet and Nepal. At a height of 8201 meters, it belongs to the Himalayan range, about 30 km west of Everest. It is the sixth highest mountain in the world and was first climbed on October 19th 1954 by the Austrian Herbert Tichy, with Sepp Jochler and Pasang Dava Lama.

Anyway, well done Allie, sterling effort
