Summit! The 8000 Club "Shashlychnaya Fantasy" group successfully completed the program at Lenin Peak. Two climbers reached the summit, everyone is alive and well

The 7 Summits Club guide Viktor Volodin sends from Kyrgyzstan:

Hello to everyone from almost sunny Asia, from the "Shashlychnaya Fantasy" group! I will give a chronology of the last days. So, before dawn on July 12, we left the first to the second camp. On the 13th, we climbed to the third camp and on the 14th, before dawn again, we set out to storm the summit. Unfortunately, one participant felt ill and had to be lowered back to the third camp, and then to the second camp. I, with one participant, continued the ascent to the summit.

Our route went along rocks and snow-ice slopes. At about 6700 there was a problematic section called "Knife", where ropes were fixed, without which we would have had to sweat a little. Closer to midday the weather began to deteriorate, there was a thick fog, snow. There was also a strong wind at the top. We took a few photos and began the descent. By 19:00 we were in the third camp.

Today, July 15, we began the descent to the first camp and by lunch we safely descended to our tents. The weather is bad, it is snowing. In general, the entire program went well and without incident. Tomorrow we will go down to the city of Osh, soak, sunbathe, and eat well. This is where our expedition of the "Shashlik Fantasy" group of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club ended. Until next time in the mountains!
