Climbing Everest from Kuluar: https://kuluarpohod.com/routes/climbi... Trekking to the base camp: https://kuluarpohod.com/routes/trekki... a long text in words about the video of Everest. Maybe it will help this video take the top in Google? Let's watch :) This is the second part of the video from the expedition to Everest. I will tell you about the base camp, the Khumbu icefall and acclimatization on the mountain. Friends, hello everyone, with you Taras Pozdniy. If you suddenly haven't seen the first part, there I told you how the idea of ​​Everest came about, how our team was formed and how we came to the base camp. And so. Everest Base Camp. Our home for the next month. Let me tell you a few facts about it. Everest BC is the largest in the world, up to 1000 people are here during the season. It is located on the moraine of the Khumbu Icefall, at an altitude of 5,300 m. The tents are right on the ice, which goes tens of meters deep. From time to time the ice cracks, and at first it is a very unusual sound. 5-10 avalanches come down from Everest and neighboring peaks per day. At first, each avalanche makes you freeze, listen, run outside. And then, when you get used to it, you hardly pay attention. Only when something is really big. One of the avalanches in the base camp even sprinkled us with snow. The climbers have their own tent with mattresses. There is a shower, and even a watering can. There is some kind of Internet. By the way, 1 or 2 GB costs $ 50. In general, everything is very, very comfortable, but not quite. The problem is the temperature - at night inside the tent it drops to -9, and during the day in the sun it warms up to +40. There is almost no comfortable temperature.. It was also very upsetting that there were snowfalls practically every day after lunch.. But in general, we settled in as best we could. The first acclimatization trip was above C1 Pumori, a neighboring peak. The trail is interesting, rocky, the places are very secluded. Not so far from the main trail, but there are practically no tourists here. And from C1 Pumori there are excellent views of the entire base camp, Everest and Lhotse. Wake up at 3:50. Today we go out in full gear - crampons, systems, helmets and high-altitude boots. I check that the guys have all the gear, we get ready for a long time and leave at 5:30. By this time it has already turned gray and you can go without flashlights. After 20 minutes we put on crampons, after another 10 the railings begin. It is easy to go, first of all, because this unusual icy beauty takes all the emotions. You don't think about tiredness, you feel very uplifted. I take pictures all the time, it seems like every shot is a masterpiece. So, gradually we come to the first stairs. There are only 5-6 of them and they are concentrated not far from each other. All the stairs are very well secured, it is a pleasure to go through them. 5920 m On the descent the sun is baking unbearably, the temperature is about +40. The heat, the altitude, the snow quickly suck out strength. It seems to me that the cold of the glacier on which we are standing penetrates through the foam and the ten-centimeter mattress that is laid out in the tent. I even think about laying one of the inflatable mats on top. On April 22 we went up the mountain. It seems that I could not sleep, but somehow I almost woke up - the exit is scheduled for 5 am, and I woke up at 4:50. Something is wrong with the alarm clock. Our plan is one night at C1 at 6100, then two nights at C2 at 6400 with exits somewhere at 6600-6800. As expected, it is easier than the first time. The first time to go to a new height is very difficult, but each time - it gets easier. The sun came out, the guys say, about smearing creams. I say, it is dangerous here - an avalanche. We arrived at C1 in the sun, again almost without strength. We spend the night in this camp only once during the entire exp, so the amenities here are very basic. My Sherpa Tashi and I cook "Rara noodle soup" - quick noodles, trim lard and sausages. Such soups are better than any freeze-dried ones at altitude. All night there was a strong wind, which died down only in the morning. We managed to sleep for several hours. The first obstacle on the way from C1 to C2 is a steep, almost vertical wall about 15 meters high. The first time it is very difficult to pass it.. but we do not slow down and cope quickly, although we lie on top for a couple of minutes, trying to catch our breath. Right behind the wall are three of the largest cracks. They are awesome! Enjoy. The video with the cracks is not accelerated. Further between C1 and C2 there is a valley of silence. A large plateau - a cirque, between the walls of Everest Lhotse and Nuptse. The sun reflects off as if from a lens and it is unrealistically hot here! The altitude is more than 6200 - and a real hell! Very exhausting! C2 begins at an altitude of 6360, but our tents are at the very top, and we walk to the
