Information from our friends from Vento company: Alexey Lonchinsky called today at 12 o'clock. They are doing well, according to plan. In three days, Yuri and Alexey reached the base camp, acclimatized to a height of more than 6000 - went to the nearest mountain (as far as the connection allows – Furayma). We have completed all the tasks of acclimatization and equipment testing. Today they are resting. Tomorrow, if the weather permits, they go out under the route, set up a camp. The day after tomorrow for the assault. The weather forecast is "not very good", perhaps the ascent will be shifted by a day.

 We remind you that the climbers plans to make the first ascent along the Southeastern buttress to the top of Rolwaling Kang (6645 m). Alexey Lonchinsky and Yuri Koshelenko are among the best climbers in the World, repeatedly awarded with various "Golden Ice axes", champions of Russia. Alexey is a leading methodist coach at the 7 Summits Club. He manages all the training mountaineering camps that our company conducts. Yuri Koshelenko also worked as a guide in the 7 Summits Club company, although for a long time.
