22.01.07. Oleg Khvostenko's night call: the ABC is set at 3700. We decided not to dig a cave and only pitched a tent. This night Belyaev, Loginov, Rodikov, Arkhipov and Dmitrienko stay there. The others descended to BC and tomorrow will haul the rest gear. Vladimir and Evgeny are completely ready to start Chaplinsky's route tomorrow.
Weather id good, there is not much snow the temperature is negative 10 in base camp. Everybody is in good mood and health.  The guys shan't be long with start.
Nikolay Zakharov's comment: Well, it’s really hard for the guys to get all the gear at about one kilometer of altitude changes by their own efforts.  Last time we took the helicopter. But the now the harder work the better acclimatization they will get. And,   right down the line, they will dig a cave at ABC.

22.01.07. Oleg Khvostenko’s morning call: Yesterday we did not get the needed point. Today will set off for the second time.

20.01.07. Oleg Khvostenko’s call: at last we arrived and set BC at 2900. Tomorrow will set off to lift up the gear under the wall and set ABC.  Some guys will stay in BC to make it more comfortable. Weather is good.
