The first ascent of the Cheo Himal was finally achieved in the following year by a Japanese-Nepalese expedition. On October 13, 1992 the Japanese Shigeki Imoto reached the summit together with the Nepalese Tshering Sherpa, Ful Bahadur Rai and Dambar Bahadur Gurung. The ascent route led over the southeast ridge to the summit.
