Lyudmila Korobeshko, the head of the 7 Summits Club expedition, reports from Nepal:
Greetings from the team from Dhaulagiri and from the head of the expedition Lyudmila Korobeshko!
Our team entered the second rotation this morning. We climbed from BC (4700m) to C1 (5800m) on the slopes of Dhaulagiri, bypassing the icefall. According to our chef Dendy, who stayed in touch with BC, the whole group successfully reached C1 after lunch and stayed there overnight, as planned. Tomorrow we should go even higher in C2 (6500m).
