Lyudmila Korobeshko : Greetings from sunny-rainy city of Mount Haggen, it is Papua New Guinea!

Here from morning to afternoon sun bakes and in the afternoon downpour begins and continues till the morning.

Today at 9:00 am the team arrived. Two days of continuous flight were little tired, but people kept well. The first step, of course, medicine.

After all, tomorrow at 5 a.m. there will be a start on mountain in the pouring rain and cold. We must somehow get warm. A warming agent (alcohol) is only in a special kazimats type of concrete with wire and guard the perimeter, released by coupons ... We got it.

The guys found a wealth of climbing experience. They gladly shared their stories of climbing on Mount Kazbek, Elbrus, Ararat, Kilimanjaro, Cotopaxi, Aconcagua, Orizaba. Were even on the tops of the rarely visited as Huyten in Mongolia and Tajumulco in Guatemala.

But such a strange country, they said, they see for the first time.

Early tomorrow we shall go. Let's see what the feelings will be after returning from a three days of shower climbing in the tallest volcano of Australia and Oceania – Mount Giluve. Now the boys were firmly outlined a dip in one of the highest lakes ....

Today, November 5, in the morning we went to the Kala-Patar. Everything went great. The weather was favorable - the sun. Visibility was complete. Now we are down to Gorak Shep, drank tea. Well, will go down. We will spend the night in Lobuche, where we have a large cultural program. We'll say goodbye to Oleg and celebrate yesterday's birthday of Andrew. All we have is almost as planned. Brilliant. Do not worry, we're OK!
