This is the most incredible adventure of my life!
I've probably been walking to it for over two years. How hard it was, how difficult it was, how many people gave up and left this season...
But I was lucky with my team of like-minded people who waited till the last weather window and actually we closed the Everest season.
We left the South Saddle (7900) today, we saw the cyclone already approaching, the clouds were falling. We saw the wind...
We did it, it was unbelievable!
Summit day (shturm) - it is very difficult. It's hard, it's tough, it's on the limit of possibility, but it was worth it!
I expected it to be so hard. I expected it to be hard, I prepared myself. Most of all I was afraid that we would not make it because of the weather, but Nikita convinced us that there would be a weather window. we sat up to the last one and it was worth it!
