The 2012 Dynatech expedition to the Shipilov Peak already at base camp.

After a slightly eventful journey missing planes and even losing their baggage, the helicopter has left our expedition at Base Camp at a height of 4,200 metres. This Base Camp is common to other expeditions aiming at climbing the Pobeda and Khan Tengri peaks; therefore our mountaineers fortunately have found company in an organised environment.

For now, they will stay at Base Camp for four days in order to become adequately acclimatized. Meanwhile, they will wait for the helicopter to deliver their lost (already found) luggage containing nothing less than the expedition’s first aid kit and the ropes.

More information to follow.
