Island Peak 2011

The beginning of a trip of our group had to travel in a period of a long bad weather. Airlift Kathmandu - Lukla was broken, hundreds of passengers were blocked  at airports. The world's leading news agencies reported that. It seemed that all the plans have failed and should concede defeat in the struggle against the Nature. But the climbers of the expedition 7 Summits Club decided to fight. They took the opportunity to fly by helicopter to the settlement situated below Lukla. This option assumes that the part will be walking on two longer. As a result, our guys are not only caught up with the schedule, but could reached  the Everest base camp. They ended the program today, by a successful ascent of the Island Peak.  Heroes season: Andrew Bykanov, Nikolai Kirilov, Andrei  Mangushev and their Sherpa guide Lakpa Passang ...

4th of November a new expedition 7 Summits Club to the Himalayas has started. The aim - Island

Peak (6130 m), one of the most beautiful trekking peaks in Nepal. Lukla due the bad weather had been closed for several days. So our team rented a helicopter and flew not to Lukla, but to Karikole. Two days' journey to Lukla guys ran for one. Now the group is already in Tyangboche (3800 m) and is moving ahead of schedule.

The team:

Andrew Bykanov
