All news: 30 June 2015

Good afternoon! Ludmila Korobeshko reports from the expedition to McKinley. We are now in Camp Ranger, at 4300 ... Today, June 30th, we have a day of rest. Yesterday we nade a depot, as planned in the assault camp. In fact, the day was quite heavy. We woke up early, but it was very cold at night, probably minus twenty. So we decided to wait for the sun, and only 11 a.m. we left the camp. Gone with fixed ropes and a little more along the ridge to Washburn’s Thumb. We returned happy but tired. So today the rest is very logical. In addition, the snow began at night ... We rest, look at weather forecasts and are already preparing for a summit bid. As soon as the window will appear, we will try to go upstairs to the assault camp, well, then, according the weather - on the ascent. All members feel good. Best regards!

We (Igor and I) climbed the top twice - on Friday and Saturday. Andrey did not reached the summit on a Friday and we decided to accompany him on Saturday. In general, the ascent is quite simple - the guides told us that we could go without them, there is only one road, so that we went ourselves. In terms of organization, there have been some delays along the route, but still within a few slow "Eastern" the passage of time. We like a refuge – it is very comfortable. All: electricity, water, toilet - at the highest level. Guides, Miriam and Mohamed, pleasant to talk to, but not really sportive .... Hotel became lower class than expected (breakfast was so-so), but it's still Iran. We liked that the head of the agency, Ali invited us to dinner at his home on Sunday. Very warmly welcomed, treated, showed how the Iranians live at home, meet their friends. We thank him for it!

Group members: Igor Gorenko, Andrey Prozukin Konstantin Ryzhak, Konstantin Smirnov.

As many already know, because of the earthquake in Nepal, Everest this season has been closed. Our expedition had to abandon the climb and the film crew to interrupt the work on the film. Mountaineers have belief in this respect: Everest rarely let climb for the first time ...

But we are pleased to inform you that, despite all the difficulties, we will return to Everest next spring. And in the autumn of 2016, our film about the conquest of the highest mountain in the world will be screening on Channel! Russian TV…
And while see the trailer from already made footage.
