The guide of the 7 Summits Club, the head of the expedition Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Nepal:
Greetings to all from BC Dhaulagiri from our cheerful team!
Today we had a day of preparation for the summit assault. In the morning, we did exercises with elements of Turkish breathing exercises, which was conducted by our Turkish friend from the neighboring expedition. After breakfast, high-altitude meals were distributed by day and personal belongings were collected.
But by lunchtime, the advance fix-ropes team got in touch. They reported that the weather is bad (snow and wind) and the condition of the route is very difficult - deep dry snow. In 12 hours they did not manage to get from C2 to C3…
In such a situation, it was decided to postpone our exit for a few days. According to the forecast, the nearest window is probably May 14-15.
But we were very pleased with the video message from our friends from Transglobal Car. They even dedicated poems to us! So we try not to lose heart and wait for the weather to improve.
