President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Alaska:
We turned around from the Assault Camp at 17,000 feet. The mountain slopes are very dangerous for avalanches, and not a single group went to storm the summit of Denali. We went down the ridge and then came to the 14,000 camp. Here our second team, the "Orange Men," led by Lyudmila Korobeshko, was waiting for us. We went down and walked all night. We arrived at the Airfield. But because of the clouds, the planes are not flying. We are waiting.
