Sergey Bogomolov and Kazakhstan K2 Expedition: Weather window. We are ready to set off.

18.07.07 Weather "window" opened. The first group climbed to C1 hauling the gear for C2. It seems all the snow should collapse from the route has crashed down the mountain-side. Our group was engaged in preparation of rear, in particular in food question: meat and rice - the main food for tomorrow's setting off.

17.07.07 Night, unfortunately, did not side us. There was a fog in BC, it was drizzling and the sky was blacked with clouds. At the first group's bivy 20 sm of fresh snow fell. Naturally, we are waiting again. They lifted the gear under "the tooth". But at night the stars appeared in the sky promising us some hopes. Only in the north there was frightening darkness.
