April, 22. Two days of bad weather. And so we had to change our plans. Our Sherpas could not finished their work on the Saddle. We have made a training in seracs near the camp. Horizontal – vertical fixed ropes and abseiling.
April, 23.
Today we made a good outing to the base of the North Wall. All 15 persons are in good form, everything is OK. Sherpas have finished their work on the North Col, our cook Pumba was left to watch our tents.
Maxud Jumaev and Vassily Pevtsov came again to our camp. They decided to have one day more of rest. It seems that they will start to climb Everest. As usual, without O2. Tomorrow morning guide Sergey Larin with his mini-team Rafael Nagapetianz and Alexander Kibalko (the well-known skater) have left to ABC camp.
We plan to reach tomorrow the North Col and to spend a night on 7100ì.
