| To reach the site
of Camp 5300 one have to go slightly to the south from the Dikiy Col. |
 |
| The Camp 5300 is
located on the quite wide and flat snow plateau. The very beginning of
the ascend to the Vaja Pshavela (AKA Western Pobeda Peak) is clear visible. |
 |
| The view from the
Camp 5300 site to the Khan Tengri. |
 |
| Due to the ridge
at the Camp 5300 location is sufficiently deviated to the West, the neighbor
valley of Dikiy Gl. is visible. |
 |
| The upper cwm of
Dikiy Gl. on the sunset - the further rescue operation's site... |
 |
| The marble pyramid
of Khan Tengri is completed the fantastic view from the above of Camp
5300. The Western Col and 3 upper spurs (Western, Eastern and South) are
clear visible. |
 |
| The key obstacle
on the route to the summit of Vaja Pshavela (Western Pobeda Peak) is the
long rocky belt. |
 |
| The rocks are getting
closer and closer... |
 |
| Due to the difficulty
to ascend the rocky belt, which usually takes the whole daytime, this
part of the route demands to stay overnight at the intermediate Camp 6100. |
 |
| Because of the
lack of flat place and the necessity to protect over very strong wind,
the tents could appear in some unexpected places... |
