Russian climbers on Everest overtook a snowstorm

The expedition of Russian climbers led by Andrei Vasiliev faced severe bad weather during the climb to Everest. This is reported by the Telegram channel Shot.

The gusts of wind forced the group members to interrupt the climb and return to the camp, located at an altitude of 5600 meters. Before that, athletes have already suffered a high-altitude cough of Khumbu.

The snowstorm began during the team's fourth high. The climbers intend to reach the summit without using additional oxygen, choosing the Western Rib, one of the most difficult and rarely sought-after routes on the mountain.

According to the forecast, on November 15-16, the wind at the top of Mount Everest may increase to 188 kilometers per hour.

Earlier, the Emergencies Ministry called the cause of death of 17 climbers in the Bezengi gorge the collapse of the glacier.

Also, the snowboarder was buried alive under the snow in Khakassia.
