PanARMENIAN.Net - In 2012 two Armenian women ~V Lyuba Balyan and
Mariam Martirosyan, headed for their trip toEverest.
Mount Everest is the Earth's highest mountain, with a peak at 8,848
metres above sea level. The Mount is located in the Mahalangur section
of the Himalayas. The international border between China and Nepal
runs across the precise summit point.
Lyuba Balyan and Mariam Martirosyan have reached the mark of 5364
meters. After this mark Everest can only be conquered by professional
alpinists with special climbing gears. But a few can get to even
this camp.
~SEverything started with a photo, which an Englishman took in small
village in the Himalayas. I learnt its name ~V Namche Bazaar, which
is located on the way to Everest. And I decided to head there. If
Mariam weren~Rt with me, the trip wouldn~Rt be so easy~E,~T Lyuba
Balyan recalled.
~SThe trip was amazing, even attitude sickness didn~Rt touch us. We
climbed at the height of 5364meters, this is the whereabouts of
the camp, after which only alpinists are eligible to continue with
climbing gears. It turned out to be a landslide,~T the climbers said.
~SWe saw Everest melting. The alpinists, who attempted to climb Everest
from the side of Nepal, couldn~Rt do it, as the wind blew off the snow.
They had to climb through Tibet. I think it is the result of the
global warming,~T they said.
