The work at the wall continues in normal order. Totmjanin- Pershin climbed some pitches more and reached the black rock zone which crosses the wall, and climbed 15 m above it, became closer to our dream goal. Today Bolotov's group, who are the third day on the way upwards, started from 7000 m to the portaledge at 7400 (Nickolay Totmjanin has removed it to that point). The removal was successful, and Bolotov-Borisov-Kirievsky reached 7400, fixed the portaledge, and brought all equipment, food, gas, etc. for living there during 4 days - to climb next difficult part of the route. Totmjanin and Pershin descended to 5600 camp. Tomorrow they'll go down to BC. There're all news on May, 14. Meet you soon in Internet. Greetings to all who wait and believe in us.
