The 8000 Club group "Always ready-s" conducted training sessions on the technique of movement on snow and ice terrain in the area of the First Camp of Lenin Peak
Valery Myasoedov, a guide of the 8000 Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:
Greetings from Kyrgyzstan from Lenin Peak from the group "Always ready-s"! We are already in the First Camp at 4,400 m! We reached it at a good pace in 5 hours. We didn't have time for lunch according to the schedule, but, of course, they were waiting for us, and the stuffed peppers were universally approved. The weather is not good, it is even more or less acceptable before lunch, which we took advantage of, today we held snow and ice classes, remembered the skills of using jumars and ascender devices. After lunch, it was swept away, we rest in comfortable tents with mattresses, pillows and blankets, and electricity is supplied to each tent, a light bulb and a pilot for charging. It's somehow more pleasant to experience bad weather this way.
