Yesterday to the evening - about 6 p.m. - guys have gone down from ÀÂÑ – Maxud Jumaev and Vasily Pivtsov !!!! Hurrah !!!! You see, their ascent was uneasy as for them, as for us, who were waiting below !


May, 30 at 6 p.m. (China time) they have established radio connection and have informed, that they are at the top of Everest. After that there were a lot of events. May, 1 at 4.30 a.m. Maxud has informed, that they are in a some tent on 8300 m. Guys did not ask about help, but on a voice it was clear, that they are on a limit. The only thing about they asked, to bring him a gas-stove burner, if our Sherpas will go upward in the morning. It turned out, that they have spent 2 days above 8000 m absolutely without water.

Our Sherpas were in ÀÂÑ to this moment. Alex Abramov was directed to Russell, but his Sherpas have gone down too. Then Sasha has addressed to Chinese’s Olympic whose Sherpas were most high on that moment - on 7900 m. Chinese’s have advised him to address to Arun Co, it turned out, that Vasily and Ìaxud was from this command. Dava, the owner of firm, as soon as has listened in what is business, he has sent 3 Sherpas from the Saddle upward to guys with water, medicines and oxygen. About 10 a.m. Kazakh climbers have decided to begin go downwards to their tent on 7900 m. At lunch time they have gone down on 7900 m, and accommodated for rest in their tent. At this time, Sherpas came, with drink, burner, oxygen was refused – for strict oxygen-free ascent.

To the evening Kazakhs have gone down in ÀÂÑ, where reporters of channel " Discovery" waited for them. All the next day - May, 2 - guys had a rest, sleep and then, May, 3 they have gone down in the base camp.
