Azerbaijani climber Israfil Ashurlu on the second attempt ascended to the 12th peak of the world-Broud-Peak (8 051 meters, Karakorum). Last year, he tried to climb her, but a large amount of snow on the slopes of the mountain forced the climber to change plans. And now the peak submitted to brave climbing.
During the current expedition, Ashurl made several attempts to rise to the peak. The first of them fell on the 36th day of the campaign, when the climber made an attempt to storm from a height of 7,000 meters. But at the mark of 7,700-7 800 meters, Israfil saw the consciousness from hypothermia and the loss of the forces of the Romanian climber.
“To the question of what is more important – ambition or human life, answered instantly. I was able to lower the victim to a height of 7,300 meters, where I had come to my aid from the Camp -3 Chilean, Polish and Russian climbers. There was no longer the rise of the ascent was no longer time, not forces, ”Ashurlu said in his diary.
But the next night, he made another attempt, which ended, fortunately, successfully. Moreover, many climbers went downstairs, and Israfil stormed Broup Pick alone, having coped with the task and safely completed the mission.
Recall, on the eve of Israfil Ashurlu, storming the top of Mount Broud Peak, on the border of Pakistan with China, saved from the death of the Romanian climber. According to Carrara Hidri, the secretary of the climbing club of Pakistan, Ashurlu saw at an altitude of 7,800 meters of dying Romanian climbing. “Mr. Ashurlu interrupted his ascent and lowered Romanian into the base camp of climbers at an altitude of 7,300 meters,” Hidri said. “Skalolas from Chile, Poland and Russia helped him, who provided first aid and caused a helicopter.”
