Diary of the expedition of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club on K2. July 20. The first group went on the ascent!
July 20. All salaam from Pakistan from the participants of the expedition to K2 "High Altitude Gene 2" or briefly GenKa2! The suspense with the fixed ropes is already pretty boring. Therefore, in the morning we went with Abramov to the camps to talk with the leaders. We had a very productive conversation with Ozzy (an Ecuadorian from SST, we had just been to Makalu with him). As a result, at 14.00 in BC K2, a general meeting of all the leaders was held, at which a new team was assembled for hanging the ropes and the release dates of this team were determined - July 22 so that they would come to the top on July 24.
Based on this, we have developed our plans.
- Team 1 - Bogomolov, Moskalev, a high-altitude operator and 3 Sherpas are released on July 20. The peak is July 25.
- Team 1.1 - The twins and Bartek are released on July 21. The peak is July 25.
- Team 2 - all others are released on July 22. The summit is scheduled for July 26.
By the evening, the first three were on their way.
The heads of the expedition to K2 Alex Abramov and Lyudmila Korobeshko and the expedition doctor Andrey Selivanov are in touch.
