mBank Mansalu Expedition:
Yesterday (3rd of May) the team: Jozef Gozdzik,
Krzysztof Tarasewicz, Gia Tortladze and Mamulu
Tsikhiseli went out, aiming settling camp IV.
Unfortunately they failed, as the weather (breakdown)
forced them to return the base from camp I.
The
following 24 hours were really nerve-racking. A snow
storm broke out, and some tents couldnt resist the
heavy wind. The mess and doctors tent were destroyed,
fortunately the doctor is safe and sound. However, one
of tents in camp I was also destroyed, we dont know
what the situation in camps II and III is like.
Today
(4th of May) we started from tidying the base. Since 4
a.m. all members of the expedition have been fighting
with one meter layer of snow. The heavy snowfall
forced us to change the tactic temporally. As soon as
the weather lets us, the team will move up to rebuild
camp I and check the situation in camps II and III.
