Now weather in ÀÂÑ is quite bad, all night and day was brought down with snow. On the Saddle Jury Tajdakov, Ivan Dusharin, Dyma Tsokur and Igor Pohvalin have spent the second night, with them one Sherpas. Today Êàrî Îvasepian has come there. Tomorrow practically all other members are going to climb on the Saddle, for acclimatization. Today Nikolay Cherny has come from below and has brought the whole ram. This act has admired everything, as Sherpas, and Members. It was rated as the outstanding act of the humanitarian help.
Today Lhapka Sherpa visited our camp. We had a long and interesting conversation. She offered in particular an ascent on the Everest by a new route by a female team. I have invited her to climb Elbrus and most likely she will arrive to Russia at the end of June. Also I have invited her brother Mingma, which is our Sirdar.
