Cho Polu is a mountain in the Khumbu region of eastern Nepal. Southern neighbors include Num Ri and Baruntse while Imja Tse (a popular trekking peak) lies immediately to the west.
The first ascent was made by Olaf Rieck, Dieter Rülker, Markus Walter and Günter on November 12, 1999 by the north face. There have been claims of first ascents before this date but none have provided sufficient documentation or photographs to substantiate these claims.
