Girls (Masha Khitrikova and Ola Dzik) set C1 (5700 m).
They're first on the route, nobody else began to climb yet. The push from BC to C1 took them two days. The very difficult glacier, so girls spent a lot of hours to find the way between the crewasses.
Tomorrow they're going to fix ropes to C2. Masha said they're OK, only the toilet paper is about run out...
So, they will soon been forced to descend :) (It seemed that girls used the paper while crossed crewasses by the snowbridges). They hope Swiss group will reach C1 tomorrow, but now girls have a pleasure of themselves work on the Big Mount route.
Two girls,met on InternationalElbrus Race 2010 last Fall, decided to realise the high-altitude project. Masha (Elbrus Race Winner in 2009): Moreover, first (before the real meeting) I have a couple of weeks scare stories about Ola. For example, in the morning she wakes up, runs to Elbrus eastern top, then descends, has breakfast, runs to Elbrus West top, and can coplete this all all before dinner . The worst thing that I believe that... Every evening I got sms from my friends with stories about her previous high-altitude feats.
