- Nepal ... What kind of resort is this?
You can't swim, you can't sunbathe.
What is the meaning of such a holiday ....
- No, you can go once.
(From a conversation between a casual acquaintance and the climber's wife).

And I just love Nepal, I feel good there, it's close to me.

I first went there in the fall of 1990. as part of the last Soviet Himalayan expedition to the South Face of Lhotse. The ascent was organized in the classical Himalayan style. We worked in several groups. Mikhail Turkevich was the leader of our group. In short, I'm proud of it. Very…
For two months, working up and down on the wall, we admired, saw, did not notice, the most beautiful peak - Ama Dablam.

But up to this point (I certainly mean the top) it was necessary to reach. I recently counted that I sent a total of 21 e-mails to Nepal, with the main idea - organize the ascent as cheaply as possible for poor Ukrainian students, they have nothing but fat, and you won’t be fat ... But the funny thing is that something like this it came out. In one of our two bundles, lard turned out to be the main product. Well, in general, we agreed with the Nepalese ...

How do we usually look for money for expeditions, this is a topic for a separate, not very free seminar (somewhere you have to take money for further expeditions). But in the end, most of the money was given to us by the Department of Youth and Sports of the Dnepropetrovsk Regional State Administration.

In addition to being very grateful, this is also a good symptom - if the local administration gives money for a non-Olympic sport, then all is not lost. Since the money was completely lacking, there was immediately some division of the candidates. The range was from those who said that they would quit their job, they would lend money, but if there was not enough money, they would sell everything, but they would not miss the chance to go to the Himalayas. Until those who said that this is a problem, add your money, because. there is nowhere to take them and in general, is it necessary to spend such money. In general, the team with "burning eyes" gathered. And it’s probably even good that we didn’t manage to find all the money ...

More about the team. If you start with more, then of course Sergei Goncharov. He was our finance minister. With a height of about two meters, an athletic figure and the grace of a former boxer, he very convincingly asked the one and a half meter Nepalese about their “last price” and they understood that the price could really be the last.

At the height, when everyone didn’t even want to think about food, Sergey lustfully decided which of the four types of soups he would cook for himself.

Masha Khitrikova. Born in 1990 when dad passed a not weak selection for the All-Union expedition to Lhotse - 50 masters of sports no older than 36 years old with experience of at least three seven-thousanders ran along Elbrus in winter for a while. And my mother, Lena Khitrikova, in the All-Union rating of 1989 took third place after passing two seven-thousanders, Chatyn and several more 5-B. In short, Masha is the fruit of selection. At the age of 16, I climbed Lenin Peak, as they say in the "alpine style", very back - I did not want to go forward. Favorite pastime is to make “pistols”, for a bet who is bigger, for dessert.

Sergei Goncharov

Masha Khitrikova

Vitalik Nesterchuk. Character - "Nordic, aged".

Professional athlete - graduated from the Institute of Physical Education, currently works in the climbing equipment store "Ascension". The owner of the store was convinced that a great climber is not a problem, but a rare success (I confess, I took a sin on my soul), and if he himself stopped going to the mountains, then it is simply necessary for the image of the store, etc. and so on.

Alexander Turtukov- coach, instructor A very strong athlete, he also had the imprudence to go to Nepal with his daughter, but instead of driving her in front of him, at the same time looking after him, he showed softness characteristic of almost all dads - he left her in the last loggia. Anya provided us with radio communication, for which we are very grateful to her. But Sasha was exhausted, how she was alone there, with these constantly changing foreign groups. From the base camp, he even once again ran downstairs so that Ani would not be bored (naive).

Of course, it all ended with the fact that during the ascent, in the area of ​​​​the third camp, Sasha realized that his heart hurts and if, well, right now, he doesn’t start going down to the loggia, he won’t have time by evening. And he rushed and managed, passing that day a very large piece of the route. And his heart was at peace. Vladimir Khitrikov- a coach, a leader, an inspirer, a money earner, partly even a father. According to mountaineering experience, practically - "Koschei the Immortal". He was everywhere, knows everything and still somehow walks. The main characteristic is “does not drink and is not sick”, I will not quote folk wisdom, suddenly someone does not know.

ascent. It probably makes no sense to describe in detail the road under the route.

Well, thanks to Larisa Gerasimova, we bought the cheapest tickets through Pakistan, well, we ate crabs there as much as we could. So after a dozen large ocean crabs, according to Vitalik, the cake is still better. Departed October 15 from Kyiv, we 23rd were in Pangboche at an altitude of 3900m and on the same day in the evening climbed to base camp 4500m where we spent the night.

24th climbed up to 5000m and descended again to base camp. 25th went out to Advanced base camp at an altitude of 5300 and 26th V Camp 1 at 5630m.

Now a few words about New Himalayan Mountaineering. Nepal is a small poor country with a rather enterprising population, who suddenly got lucky - rich foreigners go and go and are ready to leave quite a lot of money in Nepal. Here are the hardworking Nepalese and did their best. We hung all popular routes, set up tents in all intermediate camps. Pay and enjoy. I am a weak and not too principled person - well, I can’t help but use the rope if it is hung on the route. And of course there is no single answer for good or bad. Everything is in balance as always. If you treat the route as a training one, then this is at least tolerable. And security, again, increases many times over. True, mountaineering remains the same number of times less, but this is a matter of taste. In short, very convenient, but a little embarrassing.

Speaking of security. All conversations with the Nepalese on the topic “what if” came down to the fact that hire a high-altitude Sherpa and he “if anything” will save you. Instructor! From this moment on, carefully - the cost of a high-altitude Sherpa for climbing Ama Dablam along the classic route is $ 1100. This is for one client. Do not Cry.
Well, we work in the Caucasus with departments for a cup of rice and an idea, but the Nepalese have large families, and very small houses. And we have girls, how pretty, again in the field of ballet ...

Eh ... In short, we gathered in the evening in Camp 1 and began to discuss future plans. Acclimatization was clearly insufficient - everyone slept badly. It turned out that three of the five were ready to try to go further tomorrow.

Camp 1

And the two of you, it's better to go downstairs to rest. Because in both groups there was an instructor, then a very correct alternate version with a safety net could have developed. But in the morning it turned out that only I managed to sleep. And that's because after the plentiful evening tea drinking, I had to leave the tent at night. I stood on a flat slab, the size of a very large snowboard, and everything seemed to start well. But suddenly the plate "went". I would not like to focus on the details, but at that moment I turned out to be that snowboarder. The overnight stays are located on a steep section of the ridge, but after a little ride, I managed to jump off. True, he alarmed everyone and suffered fear himself. I climbed into the tent angry, frightened and barely holding back laughter. In general, I quarreled to myself, giggling for about 15 minutes, and then I open my eyes - morning. I start asking people - no one really slept. Heads hurt. In short, everything is down. In two hours we descended to the base camp and in another hour and a half we were in Pangboche. We spent three nights there in the loggia. We slept pretty well last night.

Approach to Camp 3

Exit to the top

Vertex

From Camps 2 we left at 4:30 1 - November th, around 12-00 were on top and by 16-00 went down to Camp 2. The weather was clear, but a strong wind was blowing, which prevented the rest of the groups from leaving. So we are on this day, above Camps 3, on the Mountain we were alone. Those. no one bothered us during the ascent or descent. But the downside is cold and wind. From the pillow on which it is located Camp 3, to the top of the icefall, it literally blew us off the slope. There would be some more “heroics” to add, but, alas ... Above the icefall, in general, life began. The wind has decreased a little, the sun is shining, the railings are hanging, the steps are broken and there is no one but us. I took ten steps, stopped five breaths - exhalations and further, and again ten steps. In general, only you, the Mountain, and your “inner voice”, which asks you all sorts of malicious questions. But I have known for years that he himself is a fool. After several hours of such steps, we reached the summit. The inner voice, of course, shut up, and we tried to penetrate the idea that we are on top of the Most Beautiful Mountain in the World. And if there was an element of subjectivity in this, then at that moment we had the right to it. The view from the top was wonderful, and the view of the South Face of Lhotse is probably the best. Well, if you ignore high thoughts and look only at your feet, then the top is a snowy area, unexpectedly quite large - 20-30 meters in diameter and even. After about 15 minutes, having taken plenty of pictures, we began to descend along the ascent path, towards Camps 3.

South face of Lhotse and Everest

Speaking of Camp 3.A year before our ascent, on the night of November 13-14, 2006. Camp 3 was demolished by a giant serrac, which broke away from the icefall hanging above it. 6 people died. In 2007 Nepalese again installed it there - the same. Their motives are understandable. It is difficult to gain 1100m of altitude on this relief in one day without decent preparation and go down.

And for some customers, it's just not realistic. And these are losses. Perhaps, however, they use it exclusively for medicinal purposes. Just imagine - a height of 6230m, night, a tent and a deafening crack of a giant icefall above your head. Well, what can you think of better, from chronic constipation. But for me personally, on the pillow where it is installed Camp 3 I didn't even want to stop. If we go back to the topic of therapeutic goals, then I personally regard my mountaineering in recent years (Chegem 2005, Lenina 2006, Ama Dablam 2007) as a good fitness program. Indeed, many articles have been written about the benefits of physical exercise in hypoxia. From my own experience, I can say that the weight decreases, the joints stop cracking and hurting, and in general, health problems fade into the background. So, dear veterans, stop complaining about life, take young people and start taking them to the mountains. Firstly, everything will work out for you, and secondly, if not us, then who? And if you think that now there are enough qualified instructors, then go to the training camp. You'll like it "…
As I already wrote, by 16-00 we went down to Camp 2, and then it turned out that there were no free sites. I had to tinker with setting up the tent. But trying to sleep, we started early. I slept pretty well, and when I woke up not too early in the morning, I watched the group walking along the summit ridge right through the window of the tent. And you know, it turns out to be very pleasant, lying in a warm sleeping bag, watching people who work on the route you walked yesterday. But all good things come to an end someday. Therefore, we had to pack up, load everything that we carried and descend. In a couple of hours we went down to Camp 1, there they still loaded up the left things and in the evening went down to Pangboche. There, a cake was waiting for us, our friends, and personally for me (experience is a great thing) my wife was already waiting there. But that's a completely different story...

Route

Kathmandu-Lukla-Namche-Thyangboche-Kalapatar (Everest Base Camp) - Base Camp (Pangboche) -Climbing - Lukla - Kathmandu

Ama Dablam is rightfully considered the pearl of the Himalayas - its beauty has always attracted and will continue to attract both simple trekkers and experienced climbers. We invite you to become part of our expedition, which will include everything - from trekking through the legendary places of Nepal to the harsh beauty of rocks and icefalls, which an experienced guide from our club will help you overcome.

Ama Dablam is one of the most technically difficult peaks in Nepal. The approach to the Base Camp does not take much time and is an entertaining trekking. The Ama Dablam Base Camp itself is different from the conventional wisdom about base camps, since the Base Camp will be a hotel in the city of Pangboche with hot water, toilet, shower and delicious food. In it you can comfortably relax and recover after acclimatization exits and, in fact, climbing.

Our ascent will take the classic route along the southwestern ridge and the reward for climbing it will be a fantastic view that opens from the top of Ama Dablam - you can simultaneously see four eight-thousanders at once - Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and Cho Oyu. Experienced Sherpas will help us both during the route and during the installation of high-altitude camps. Despite the fact that everyone goes to Ama Dablam without oxygen, we will have a sufficient supply of it for medical purposes.
