Kabru 2004

4/28: Dragan and Milos reached C-1 after climbing for 11 hours

The last part of the route consisted of : already climbed 600m , fixed during the previous days, 200m of a slope with the snow above the knees, then 150m of a frozen waterfall’s clear vertical, and about 300m more to the foot of a rock where they put up a tent at 5.100m above the level of the sea. Tired but satisfied, they are going to spend the rest of the day and part of the night there, and as early as the first morning hours, they are climbing further, up the icefall towards C-2 (about 6.100m above the level of the sea).
