to all living things on the approaching danger. According to the plan, it was the day to reach the top. Igor thought about selecting a group for the night and took into account all possible aspects related with weather conditions and the safety of his climbers. Samoilov had frequently been to the Himalayas. Thank God this was not the most difficult ascent in his climber's career. Difficulties arose only because of the newcomers, who were in the group. Of course, two weeks of training did not allow for full preparation of his climbers. Igor managed to pull the five new climbers almost to the top of the mountain at a height of 4000 meters. One more day of torment and the descent will begin. When Samoilov had got acquainted with the team, he was surprised of what led these people to the mountains. Two Frenchmen who decided to spend a vacation in an exotic place, the rest just adventurers who probably lacked excitement. Basically, the guys were good. In the mountains, people reveal themselves immediately. Samoilov’s assistant was young, but quite experienced and was in tandem with his leader.
