- Celebration back at the hut (Sasha Sak)
News from Russia this morning was good. ALL 11 team members plus guides on the summit in VERY good weather and conditions. One of our climbers was ready to call the saddle between the East and West peaks her high point but she dug deep, really deep, persevered and stood on top, making it 100% for this IMG team under the leadership of Jonathan Schrock and Sasha Sak. Good team members, good guides and good weather combined for a GREAT outcome.
Folks got back to the hut without issue. Lunch, then a nap, then dinner and now bed time. To the valley in the morning. We couldn’t have asked for more. Sometimes great things happen when everyone does their part and the mountain gives us a break. A huge congratulations to all members and the guide staff. This was a good one.
