 SUMMIT! VALERY BABANOV AND SERGEY KOFANOV WERE ON THE TOP OF JANNU! | |||||||||||||
| |||||||||||||
| In delayed reporting: At 9:10 a.m. Valery and Sergey called from 7710 meters, from the summit of Jannu! Yesterday, 20th of October, at 10 a.m. they started from 7 400 m, went just right up the head wall and climbed it mainly by the south side of ridge. To climb faster they left part of equipment and took minimum: a tent and gas. All the night they were sitting in the tent without sleeping bag on 7600 meters. On 6 a.m. they started again to climb up to the top. Soon, at 9:30 a.m., there was a radio contact from the summit with Olga Babanova in the base camp. They were making photos and were going to go down by the same way.
In the afternoon the team was in the camp on the Western shoulder. They are very tired. It is extremely cold and windy. They probably have not a lot of food, but a tent, gas, sleeping bags. Good luck !
