Adding to his long list of 8000 metre summits, Andrew reached the summit of Cho Oyu, the world’s sixth highest peak, at 9.30am, 25th September 2004. This was officially his 10th 8000 metre summit, not including his second ascent of Everest in May this year, or his ascent of the Central Summit of Shishapangma in 2003.

Andrew has now returned to Australia where he will concentrate on his guiding business and Keynote Speaking Services over the southern summer.
