We congratulate Denis Urubko with his 14th 8000er!

Denis Urubko is the first CIS and Kazakh climber with all 14 highest peaks.

15th of May Denis Urubko and Boris Dedeshko (Central Sport club of Kazakhstan Army) have climbed Cho Oyu (8201 m), South-East Face, in alpine style.

It's not a problem to climb it via the normal route, and Denis planned to do the speed ascent last spring. But China's border was closed, and the project was postponed till the fall. In fall the border was still closed, and in March 2009 the situation was the same.

Eventually, Urubko climbed Cho Oyu from Nepal side via new route on South-East Face. His"14Q" program was completed with a beautiful new bold line of Kazakh route.
