All news: 3 May 2010

Yesterday we started to climb, for 2,5 hours got to the Mandara Hut. On the road we met a couple of lovely colobus and a pair of lovely Australians. Then we went to the bottom of Crater Moundy. In the evening we enjoyed the stars. Using GPS technology we have identified the Southern Cross.

3rd May, the team quickly, before the timetable, reached Horombo. In his spare time we had a disco and "dressing". Fog, rain a little.

Alexander Abramov reports from the camp ABC. Our Everest expedition went to the ABC camp. Climbers successfully carried out an acclimatization ascent to the North Col. Guide Sergey Larin with three members Sergei Dudko, Dmitry Krasnov and Andrei Perepelkin stayed on an additional night at the North Col. After three nights of rest, we'll go for a second acclimatization ascent, this time to the height of 7700 m. All goes as planned, the weather is normal: with snow almost every day after lunch. And now it's snowing, in spite of the forecast.
