Cho Oyu
Jenssen is also an active climber and mountaineer. This hobby is an inspiration on his work, as well as a source of natural sound samples. His highest feat was in 2001, climbing the Cho Oyu (Himalaya, 8201 meters) without oxygen; in 2006, he thus released "Cho Oyu 8201m – Field Recordings from Tibet" (as Geir Jenssen).
