Summit! The 7 Summits Club group successfully climbed Mount Sidley in challenging conditions of whiteout
The 7 Summits Club guide Artem Rostovtsev sends a message from Antarctica:
Huge greetings from the far south of Antarctica from the "Pipkohody" group! Yesterday was a challenging day. We climbed a mountain, to the summit of Mount Sidley, the highest volcano in Antarctica. The morning was clear and windless. The forecast was encouraging, but it was a bit off: the clear sky turned out to be cloudy, and the light wind was quite strong. For 10 of the 13 hours spent reaching the summit, the cloud cover was so thick that the slope beneath our feet was unreadable, and at times we ran into walls of ice blocks. Safe and sound, thanks to our instruments, we returned safely to the summit camp.
And we have new participants who have completed the "Seven Volcanoes" program. Congratulations!
