Hi!
Our Base camp near North Face of Jannu lost far in Himalaya mountains is today 5 days old.
The summit is impressed! Base camp situated on the 4 700 meters height. The North Face is miracle but not horrible. I can not believe that we are near the mountain I dreamed so long time. We want to stay on the top of this beauty so much. One can talk about the summit a lot but when looking at it here feel difference – it is more then we could expect.
After we opened BC in October 1st, making pudgia, the weather left stable.
3 days we did not have any rains. It is warm, grass and flowers in base camp. Yesterday me and my partner Sergey Kofanov reached 5 800 meters to have acclimatization.
Today the rest time. Tomorrow we plan to have a new acclimatization if the weather let us do it. We’d like to ascent the nearest summit – 6 300 meters and maybe we have a night on the summit.
We choose finally our route line. The absolutely new on the West ridge. This ridge limited the north Face of Jannu on the right. It is always good view of it on many photos.
In 95-98 years French climbers tried to make this route but unsuccessful. This is a beautiful line. Something seemed like Makalu West ridge and Nuptse south-east ridge. This is a kind of routes one always would like to climb.
I think this is ideal line for us. We feel good and plan to climb in alpine style.
If Gods and Mountain allow us we reach the Jannu summit for sure.
That’s all for now,
