He started from a height of 8845 meters, which is only three meters below the top. The ascent, organized by the "7 Summits Club" was made by Vitaliy together with the "Snow Leopard" Anton Pugovkin, a comrade in the Death Zone Freeride project. Everest became the team's fifth 8-thousander. The team climbed the summit with a special mission, which you can learn about by watching the documentary "Oxygen 2. Everest" which has been filmed for over the past three months in partnership with "Gazprom-Media Holding" and its companies: "Central Partnership" and "Red Media". On the descent, Vitaly Lazo asked for medical assistance, he was evacuated to a hospital in Kathmandu. Anton Pugovkin is feeling well. |
