Yesterday in the tent it turned out that Artem had frostbite on his toes. We though about it and decided, that health is more important. We descented in the morning. Now in the BC with the whole composition. Tomorrow we are going to the valley.

In the morning Yaroslav, Andrey and Sergey Krasovsky decided to go down. A combination of factors, but the main is cold. It was -36 in the morning in the Camp1. The rest climbed to 6100m, set up the Camp2.

“At night it blew so much, that we thought we would have to ascent from Lukovaya again. We walked to the Yukhina peak (5130m). The weather is stable :)”
