All news: July 2015

Hallo! It is Ludmila Korobeshko from the expedition to McKinley.... We are now at the top of Mount McKinley (Denali). All we reached the top. It was very difficult: strong wind, very cold. Several times we would go back. But we did not. We got to the top and now take pictures, make videos, and … call you. And soon ... we will go slowly down. In general, everything is fine. Hooray! We did it!

Hi! It says Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the program Climb Elbrus. Today we had a heroic attempt to climb to the top. Weather was crystal clear, but very, very, very strong wind. We went up to the height of 5550, and from there unfortunately we had to turn back. Because it was really dangerous. Now we sit in the refuge and look at the Elbrus: not just a cloud, beautiful view, but snowy flag fluttering in the 2 km - from the Western top to the Eastern.

So here we had such a heroic attempt. All the team was great. Turn around - it's a decent thing to do. Dmitry and Valera descend to the north and we are waiting for news from them. The rest of the group is now resting on LeapRus Refuge, tomorrow we will go down to Terskol. All the best!

Hello! This is Ludmila Korobeshko, I report from the expedition on McKinley (Denali). Today, as planned, we went into the assault camp (High camp) at 5200. In general, the weather in the morning was quite cold, but the fixed ropes it was warmer. However, when we reached the ridge leading to the camp, we got a strong wind. We came to the camp almost in a snowstorm, there was nothing to be seen. We walked for a long time, about 9-10 hours. We went out in 10 a.m. and came probably after 7 p.m.
Now we put the camp, sitting in tents. Strong wind, no visibility. While we will watch the weather. It is difficult to have any plans to build. ... But in general everything is fine, all people went into the camp, all are healthy.
Best regards!
