Shisha Pangma and Cho Oyu: two high mountains that can be combined in one journey. The Tibetan name shi sha sbang ma means «the area above the grasslands» and describes exactly the view one has when travelling to the mountain from the north. The name cho oyu assumedly is a compound of the Tibetan words chomo (goddess) and yo (turquoise), and means «goddess of turquoise». Already in 2001, Kari successfully climbed Shisha Pangma and Cho Oyu with a group.
