While the head of expedition Luda Korobeshko is recovering in Kathmandu, the team continues to work according to plan and send reports on the work done. Irina Zisman and the Team reports:

 23.04. Today we were preparing for tomorrow's exit to the first camp. Part of the team took a walk in the neighborhood, the rest were saving up resources. But the sunny weather turned to snowfall and after lunch we decided to cancel the exit, because the passage of some sections becomes unsafe.

After a short afternoon rest, everyone traditionally gathered at 6.30 pm for an aperitif with lard to maintain tone, morale and oxygenation. After a video call with the head, the spirit, tone and oxygen increased significantly. Our chef Dendy, as always, indulged in gastronomic delights, after dinner with chicken soup and momo it is difficult to reach the tent, so for now we are sitting in a warm, quiet family circle!

The 8000 Club guide Viktor Volodin reports from the Everest Base Camp:

Greetings from Nepal!  Today there was not just a busy day, but a very busy one. So, everything is in order, first we had ice classes. On them, we remembered and fixed the work with the jumar on the ascent and descent along a fixed rope with a trigger device.  We also practiced moving up the stairs through the cracks. Then we had a puja, a blessing ceremony for good and great things. After the puja, ice classes were held again to consolidate the material.
