Update
On May, 21st at 12:30 local
time members of the international expedition 7 Summits Club Slovenes Маrko
Lihteneker (45) and Viktor Mlinar (38) have successfully ascended to the
top of Everest. They were the first this year ! Slovenes climbers
successfully used a small window of weather. Now on Everest and in camp
ABC the strong wind blows. Possibly, today this window will be closed,
presumably till May, 27th. On our information, today about 15 climbers
could reach the top. The majority left on an ascent have been forced to
return.
