May 29th at 9 a.m. Peru time we called from the summit of Alpamayo on the answering machine to share the good news. But apparently, the call failed. Yesterday, May 30th, we have already gone down in Huaraz (3300) for the rest. Emotions subsided a bit, but the joy of a successful ascent and implementation of a long-standing dream remains.

Hello! This is Alexander Abramov, I am in Peru with Ludmila Korobeshko. Here we arrived the day before to explore and further preparation new climbing programs in Peru. According to our plan, we must climb first the mount of Alpamayo and then the highest peak of Peru - Huascaran. We are now in Huaraz and soon we leave for a trek to Alpamayo. I do not know whether it will be communication from the trek, but we will try to send messages. So long!

Pictures made by members of blitz climbing on the Mount of Orizaba. The ascent took place in the style of super blitz: 5 hours on the ascent up, 2 hours for the descent down. They were at 7:40 a.m. on the top.

"That's how we came to the top, glowing with happiness"
