Giluwe 2013

Alex Abramov sent us the first photo impression from Papua. Their group had climbed the highest point of the country Mt.Wilhelm and the tallest volcano of Australia - Mt. Giluwe.

Hello ! Our team sends greetings to all from the top of Mount Wilhelm, the highest peak in Papua New Guinea. Here we went up just 3-5 minutes ago, took pictures with our beloved flag, and are now beginning to slow down. Weather, thank God, improved, and will give us the opportunity to go down without accidents .... The team is: Oleg , Gregory , Michael , Vladimir, Vyacheslav , Lyudmila and Alexander. That is our cheerful company. Now we have to descend down. We walked up about 8 hours, and plan 7 hours to go down, because there is such a slippery road. The slippery, covered with dirt and grass rocks. That's it! I hope everything will be fine. So long! Hello everyone !

Hello ! Thus is Alexander Abramov from Papua New Guinea. Today Alexander Abramov and Ludmila Korobeshko and Oleg Griga, three, climbed to the top of Mount Giluve, the tallest volcanoes in Australia. We have dedicated this climb an old holiday, the anniversary of the Great October Socialist Revolution. The rest of the team, four persons, climbed the unnamed peak elevation of 4,000 meters,

Tomorrow the whole team goes down, in the town of Mount Haggen. And after spending a night, we go to climb the highest peak inPapua New Guinea–Mount Willhelm, whose height is about 4500 meters. All these expeditions quite unique, are under severe weather conditions: rain, mud, swamps...

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 ....
