 Mt.
Everest 2005:
7 Summits Club: Down to base camp

Update:
Today all our team, except
Lorenzo Gariano and Robert Ulf, has gone down in the base camp. For a long
time, we did not gather under our big yellow tent, which all names "a
caterpillar". The weather in the base camp is good now, very warmly. It
would not be necessary to close tents at all. Today members of Indian
expedition "Airforce" came to us on a visit.
Tomorrow the part of our
team plans to leave in Xegar. Tomorrow also we plan to see off home
Sergey Semenov and Dmitry Tsokur. Their term of stay in our mountaineering
camp was finished. Their program was designed only up to North Col. All
Members ad Sherpas are alive - are healthy, everyone send the regards,
nobody coughs. In our tents is warm. The majority of members from others
expeditions speak, that the Russian Base Camp is one of the best this
year.
