After storming the highest peaks in the world and the tragic expedition to Broad Peak, Vitaly Lazo, who has completed more than 40 high-altitude expeditions during his career, including the first ascent in Antarctica, sets off on a new dangerous journey.
Together with his friend, Anton Pugovkin, they plan to conquer Everest without oxygen and ski down from the summit. But the ascent itself is not an end in itself. There are other reasons why Vitaly goes to the summit...
This is an adventure on the edge of possibilities, on the edge of reason, on the edge of life...

Kathmandu is a bright, unusual and very interesting city. The capital of Nepal, from which expeditions to the Summits of the Himalayas start. Kathmandu is a real "mecca" for climbers, a point of attraction for mountain lovers from all over the world.
We invite you to plunge into the atmosphere of this mysterious city with its unique flavor: Buddhist stupas and temples, a kaleidoscope of cars and people, the smells of burning candles and garlands of colorful sacred flags.
You will find all this in our video, and we hope you will feel the mood of the city.

Alex Abramov: On May 19 of this year, the team of my "Seven Summits Club" descended from the slopes of Everest in full force with the summit…
And me? It is on the height of 8000, a couple of hours before the exit. Well, why should I climb to the top for the 13th time? Everything is going according to plan, but in places with a creak. God grant memory... This is my twenty-first Everest expedition and I have been on the summit 12 times. And in January of this year I celebrated my 60th birthday. And it would be nice to celebrate the following years as well. And this is the thirteenth time... Well, at least there are no black cats at an altitude of 8000, otherwise there's something going on with this mountain illness.
View of Mount 8848 from the South Col 8000
Well, what should I create? Not a damn thing, but the facts: between the 3rd and 4th camps at an altitude of 7800, I was covered specifically despite the fact that I had been training all year. But then it's worth a little snot to break through, and the writing is gone... Or maybe you should quit smoking after all? Well, wait, I quit smoking for another 7,200, so why did it get covered?
Covered and dispersed, let's forget it. It's time to think not about yourself, but about the group. What do people pay me for? For my experience, which will keep them alive, for the fact that I control every little thing on the ascent, keep the best guides and Sherpas as part of the expedition. We have everything from a doctor to a cook, everyone is focused on the result of a small, variously prepared group. My task was to prepare the group for the ascent as much as possible, both mentally and technically. But I can't walk in their place and I can't breathe in their place. Therefore, now it is "H time" for them - they must walk the distance from 8000 to 8848 themselves. And the main thing is to return as stalkers.
In order for them to return intact, and not be left without fingers or eyesight, each participant needs to have an experienced partner. Everything is clear here, there are 7 proven Sherpa guides for 7 of my members. But what if something goes wrong? If we get stuck in traffic and into oncoming traffic, as it was last year, when due to the many delays of weak climbers in narrow places, instead of 8 hours we went up for as much as 12 hours, wasting oxygen? And if the weather covers us like it did here three days ago? There's Kotlyar and his group barely got out of the storm, people froze.
And two independent climbers from Mongolia, who got lost on the descent, still cannot be found. What's there to guess - they're corpses. And to prevent all this from happening to mine, we need our small private rescue team, which will drag up and spread emergency oxygen in critical places, and which will instantly participate in rescue operations if someone is covered in the death zone. This is a classic of Soviet mountaineering - we always went to serious mountains only when we were released by the head of the rescue, and he released us if there were rapid response and support groups in the climbing area.
The group is in the area of the Southern Peak at 8750
It's now climbing who wants where he wants and with whom he wants — that's the result. But the Soviet classics are ironclad, it's been tested. And my clients in the group — they are not athletes, so they walk at different speeds, which means they will stretch over the mountain. There was a "steam locomotive" for 3 or even 4 hours of difference: who will get into which traffic jam is not to guess. This means that seven reserve Sherpas with emergency oxygen need to be stretched along the mountain at a reasonable distance between the pairs. I can't help them there anymore, there's a real death zone there. Now we need to discuss all the little things with everyone and concentrate their forces, systematize every detail so that they do not deviate from the plan and do not come to the top at the utmost possibilities: the road down is longer. The statistics of Everest are known: more died on the descent than on the ascent. Climbing up at full strength and with euphoria, with a warm heart. What's wrong — turned around and went down. But after the summit, they go down exhausted, often in bad weather and on the last liters of oxygen, with imperceptibly creeping frostbite of the face and hands and feet.
Well, that means 14 Sherpas, of which 7 go up the mountain and 7 stretch out on the mountain in a support group. They all have walkie-talkies. But I have only 14 Sherpas, and we are in group 7 + 1, so I am left without a partner.
And you need to carry a lot of oxygen — 5 bottles for each pair at least: two for a sherpa, three for a tourist. And this is 22 kg of weight for two. And he gets 5 more kilos of his personal belongings for small things — the backpack itself also has weight, thermos flasks, food, battery flashlights, first-aid kit, spare glasses, spare mittens... In short, either bring in additional oxygen and arrange the emergency support group correctly, or someone from the reserve team will go with me. Either cargo and belay for the participants, or for my 13th summit. But it hit me specifically yesterday. And now the tourists will count their partners, and someone will be in the red. And then this "minus" does not go away and all his life he will think that this is because he did not receive "his" paid sherpa from me, but I went. What's more important here? Should I go and be relatively close to them, or should I give them 200% success rate? And how can I provide them with 200% if I'm not on the mountain with them? They feel better mentally when I'm around. Nevertheless, my people know and see that those Sherpas — they are getting stupid sometimes and if something is wrong, they run away under various pretexts.
9 p.m. We have a start at 22:00. It's time to decide. Either I'm going and one of the Sherpas is with me in a rope, and we won't bring enough emergency oxygen, or I'm not going. Well, how is it — I'm not going? I'm coming, of course. But for the 13th time... And yesterday it was covered specifically. Should I throw heads/tails? What nonsense. Is it covering up again? You need to think, not throw coins.
The stratosphere. Everything is frozen
How much oxygen can I really carry on my own? I can, of course, have my 3 cylinders. A total of 20 kilos with a first aid kit. But then I'll walk slowly and I'll be of no use. That means 2 cylinders, as usual. And that means I won't have enough oxygen. Well, somewhere at the top of the support group, something is twitching. Then we return to option 1: I'm going, but I won't fully provide belay for the participants.
Stupidly. What am I playing with now? With the lives of other people who believe me. How fucked up all these corpses are here! Every year at least one of the guides or organizers will screw up, and then instead of analyzing the causes of the accident by specialists, as was customary in our time, we have an analysis on the Internet by sofa experts with hundreds of repostings by "peek-a-boo bloggers" with photos the wrong mountain, the wrong year, and the wrong corpse.... in short, some nerves are due to the many unwelcome cases of Sherpas. At least hire a triple supply...
Stop. An interesting thought flashed through my mind. I'll go with two cylinders, at the back of the group, without a partner, and I won't take anything from the emergency. On the third day, people frostbitten in a storm were running down from the middle of the mountain, they probably left half-empty cylinders on the trail. Maybe I find something, if I don't find it, I'll turn down. In any case, I'll get to the middle and be reasonably close to the group and reasonably safe to return if I'm left without oxygen.
And there is also a better idea! Either I go and find the abandoned oxygen, or I go until mine runs out at the rate of two ends, or I go to the first corpse. Well, these two Mongols have gone somewhere. And where can the corpses go? They're lying along the rope, I guess. And we are just the first group after the storm, so we will find it.
Well, here's the first one. And above, my team members climb up and the Sherpas - well, they have stretched out competently. The mountain turned out to be empty after the storm — those who got into it were dumped down from the middle, those who were going to sit it out - they are sitting in the base camp, my plan is to climb through intermediate camps in a storm so that on the first fine day to reach the summit — it worked. It doesn't blow as much on the intermediate раrts as on the saddle and above, where people froze. In short, the plan worked. We are alone on the mountain and the guys are walking fast, without traffic jams on the oncoming lane, I can't catch up with them.
I didn't find any abandoned oxygen, but I found a corpse — as I expected. One of the Mongols, probably. There have been no others this year yet. The height is 8700, it's time to go down, so as not to lie down next to it.
The First Mongol
The road down at a minimum of oxygen is not fast, I freeze specifically. Oxygen is the fuel for the body to create heat, without it fats do not burn. And when there is not enough of it, the brain turns off peripheral blood circulation and drives blood only to critical points, turns off the arms and legs.
Oh, suddenly there's a second one. He was not visible at night. So both Mongols have been found. We need to tell their team to take it off before the people go. The day after tomorrow there will be a crowd here - early tonight, from 5400 from base camp, a caravan of people moved out. Someone sat out the storm in the first 6200, so you need to shoot the Mongols quickly. Well, fortunately, this place is not difficult to organize the descent of bodies, four will cope.
The second Mongol
7 a.m. That's it, my friends are all on the summit and the whole support group is stretched along the route. Lord, bear with us a little longer by your side, we're leaving!
— Yes, Andrey, I'm in touch! What happened? Can't you walk? What happened? Are you blind? How much? At all? What is the height? As under the top at 8800... Right on the Hillary step drops? ...
God, I told you to put up with us a little longer...
To be continued…

Alex Abramov's group (the 7 Summits Club) in full force went up to Camp 3 and is now resting.
There's a very strong wind up there today, it's been blowing all night. Our team decided to spend another day at an altitude of 6500m in Camp 2.
Viktor Volodin's team went to Camp 4 on the South Col. I think there is a strong wind there now.
We will go to Camp 3 tomorrow. We are resting today.

May 12. Without changing our habits, we got up at two in the morning, had breakfast, and went on the route at three. Everything is according to plan, at night and at dawn we pass the Khumbu icefall. It is condescending to us and not a single piece of ice falls in our direction, and what is still very good, there are practically no people at all, and this allows us to go through difficult and dangerous places without queues. The weather also favored us, it was windless, the sun was covered by small clouds and it was not so hot to go. We arrived at Camp 1 for lunch. Here, as before, everything was in perfect order and complete comfort.
May 13. Since the march from Camp 1 to Camp 2 is not very long, we leave at 9 a.m. The path is simple and gentle, but sometimes with large cracks. The weather is gorgeous and sunny. We arrived at Camp 2 for lunch. A delicious lunch, rest and preparation for tomorrow's exit. Before that, there were only approaches, then there will be climbing, steep ice slopes, an altitude above 7 thousand. We will rely on luck, the weather, and our own strength.

The Everest-24 team, led by Alexander Abramov, finished their vacation in Namche Bazaar.
On May 12th, we all fly to the Everest Base Camp. On May 13th, we have rest and preparation. On May 14th we will start at Camp 2. On May 15th - Camp 3. On May 16th - Camp 4 on the South Col and on the night of May 16th to 17th we go out to storm Everest. Wish us good luck!
Valery Babanov and Eduard Kubatov also rested here in Namche Bazaar. Valera plans Everest without additional oxygen, Eduard – Lhotse, also without additional oxygen.

Very big greetings from Everest Base Camp, from the 8000 Club team! Today is the deadline for preparation. Everything is in the collection, everything is thought out to the smallest detail. There is an acquaintance with the Sherpas, a discussion of the movement schedule, overnight stays, and most importantly, this is the day of the assault. All participants are in a good mood and ready to start. Wait for news from the vastness of Mount Everest!
]]>
Yesterday, on May 9, our team was able to fly from Everest Base Camp to Namche Bazaar with great difficulty in very bad weather. The flight was extreme. In conditions of very poor visibility, we flew very low. We are currently vacationing in Namche. Bars, massages, food and sleep.
]]>
Good afternoon! Today, the 8000 Club team went up to the helipad from morning to early, after a rest, hoping to fly to the base camp. At first, there was no light and no hint that we would get to the base camp today. But less than an hour later, our yellow helicopter loomed in the sky. And within an hour, the whole group was delivered to the Base Camp. Here, as usual, we were warmly and well received, and accordingly, we were well fed. Then we held another class on the use of oxygen equipment. Each participant independently tried this wonderful device on himself. Tomorrow we have a day of preparation and training for entering the high-altitude area. And on the night of May 12th, we go out to storm. All feel good. Wish us an easy and safe road, and an easy descent to the base camp, and then home!

Alex Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, Head of the Everest expedition, reports from Nepal:
Christ is risen! Today, Alexander Abramov's team on Everest made an acclimatization climb to the base of the section of the route called "Lhotse wall". It started snowing. Visibility is gone. We went down to Camp 2 and celebrated Easter here.
The entire Lhotse wall was covered in ice. And stones were flying down the slope. Now everything is covered with snow. It's good. The stones will not fly. But it will be avalanche-prone.

Good afternoon, dear friends!
For some reason, I couldn't transmit the information in time, but we, the 8000 Club group, are doing well. So, I'm reproducing the chronology of current events. At that time, when everyone was still asleep, our group of workers went to the parade at the crack of dawn on May 1 with the slogans "peace, labor May", but got lost and climbed the Khumbu icefall at night. So with jokes and a good mood, and favorable weather, we came to the first camp. In the evening, the wind picked up, which fluttered our tents and banners all night. By morning, the vestibule of only one tent had burst. Marching so joyfully and merrily, we met our holiday.
May 2 turned out to be a good day too, the weather is not very hot, otherwise you can roast yourself on this section of the way. The site is quite simple and safe, we come to the second camp (6500), everything is organized at the highest level and plus faster Internet.
May 3 turned out to be a good day too, we're just lucky. We get up slowly, have breakfast and go to the third camp. The task is not easy, it is necessary to overcome a steep ice slope, and most importantly, do not get hit by free-flying stones. But it bypassed us, and we successfully cross the boundary of 7 thousand above sea level. We safely descend to Camp 2 and have a second overnight stay at 6500. The third camp has not been set up due to strong winds and will be set up just before the assault.
On May 4, we collect our clothes, ourselves, have breakfast and slowly begin the descent to the base camp, where we are met by the camp administrator Lena, a hot shower, and delicious food.
May 5 is a holiday - Christ is risen, and we are greeted festively in the morning by Sherpas with decorated Easter eggs. After a long and hard work, especially since the weather is starting to deteriorate, we decided to fly to Namche Bazaar for a vacation. The loss of height of two kilometers and the restoration of strength is necessary for high-altitude ascents. The participants feel great.
And today they moved to Camp 2 at an altitude of 6500, where they have high-speed Internet and have the opportunity to transmit information and images.
]]>
I finally had the strength to give information! We, the 8000 Club team, are doing great. We went to 6100, then to the second camp at 6500, spent the night, acclimatized. It wasn't easy, but we coped and today we went down to the base camp, where we were very well received and fed, thanks to Lena Abramova.
]]>
Good day to all! Today is April 26th and we are at an altitude of 6500, in the Second Camp. As always, we have the best of everything and even at this height there is Internet. And only with us.

There was Valera Babanov, Maksut Zhumaev and the team. Our team has ice classes today. Life in the camp is gradually returning to normal.
]]>
Greetings from Nepal! Today there was not just a busy day, but a very busy one. So, everything is in order, first we had ice classes. On them, we remembered and fixed the work with the jumar on the ascent and descent along a fixed rope with a trigger device. We also practiced moving up the stairs through the cracks. Then we had a puja, a blessing ceremony for good and great things. After the puja, ice classes were held again to consolidate the material.
]]>
Good afternoon, everyone! Today, the 8000 Club team was settling in the base camp. We have a rest day, we check our equipment, admire the beautiful views, make small walk, take care of ourselves, so acclimatization takes place. After lunch, the team of the 7 Summits Club, led by Alexander Abramov, came to the camp. All participants feel well. Dr. Andrey Selivanov also came to the camp and he is already distributing pills for prevention.
News from the 8000 Club team. Yesterday, according to the plan, there was a day of rest, which was spent with health benefits.

All namaste from Nepal! The group "Let's Go!" left Namche today in the direction of the high-altitude monastery of Tiangboche. The trail passed through groves of rhododendrons, which are just beginning to bloom. The beauty is extraordinary. Loaded yaks were coming towards us, with musical bells around their necks, calling and at the same time soothing and lulling. But we have a clear goal and we have to go. In the second half of day, we arrived at the nicest hotel in the area, where a warm bed and shower are waiting for us. In the evening, a delicious dinner and a well-deserved night's sleep.
]]>
Today was a long and difficult march to Namche Bazaar. We saw a lot of beautiful places on the way. There are a lot of people on the trail. And animals. We reached Namche cheerfully with music and dancing. Tomorrow we will show you the Sherpa capital itself.
]]>
On the flip calendar, April 16. The group "Let's go!" is resting today, but is actively resting. In the morning we went to the Japanese hotel at an altitude of 3880 meters. We were really unlucky with the weather; it was cloudy and we couldn't see Ama Dablam and other beautiful mountains. In the afternoon, Abramov's group came up and in the evening we played billiards with them. As usual, friendship won. By evening, the weather turned bad and it started to rain. The participants feel well, their appetite and everything else is good.
]]>
Today, the team of the 7 Summits Club "Everest-24" under the leadership of Alexander Abramov flew to Lukla. We flew by helicopters over the beautiful mountains of the Himalayas. We moved from Lukla amicably and cheerfully walking to Phacking. We settled in the best local loggia.
In the evening there was a lecture on medicine, which was conducted by our doctor Andrey Selivanov. Also today, a team of 6 people has been formed who will participate in the Everchess competitions. This is a record-breaking international chess tournament on Everest, the final will be held on May 8. In the meantime, we are practicing.
