A strong wind disrupted the attempt of the ascent of the 8000 Club group "Octobrata" on Lenin Peak

The guide of the 7 Summits Club and 8000 Club Viktor Volodin reports from Kyrgyzstan:

 Good afternoon, everyone! News in recent days from the Octobrata group. We started climbing at one o'clock in the morning on July 10th. The weather was not favorable: it was snowing and the wind was blowing, which knocked them off their feet. But we continued our hard way to the summit. When we reached the "Knife", a steep section at an altitude of 6700, the wind increased even more. And then the right decision was made to return back. At the same time, the wind did not abate, but knocked them down. Upon returning to the Third Camp, the weather did not improve. Gathering our strength, we went down to the First Camp and then to the glorious city of Osh. All participants are happy and joyful.
