| | 17.06.2003: Valery Babanov and Vladimir Suviga about an expedition to Nuptse East
Virgin east summit of Nuptse (7804 m, Himalayas) attracts attention of best climbers with a supernatural power. There were many expeditions of leading mountaineers during last 17 years, but their failures have only been exciting next candidates to pioneers. Among those was one Russian – Valery Babanov, an owner of `Piolet d’Or – 2002’. This year it was his second attempt to climb the mountain. First one was a solo attempt and this time – in a duo with Valery Suviga.
This jubilee season the Himalayas met numerous expeditions of `conquerors’ with an offensive defense. Weather here has never been stable, but this season even Everest old-timers were surprised with abnormal storms that lasted till the end of May.
Thus on the last spring day Babanov and Suviga returned to Russia leaving in Himalayas an unclimbed beauty Nuptse East – the highest of virgin summits. For month and a half our climbers had been processing a hardest route up South-East ridge. They had fixed more than 1 kilometer of ropes, climbed a crux of the route and pitched they highest camp. They needed one weather window, but – there were no windows for them for a month. They tried to break through heavy snowfalls, but all in vain. A permit was expiring.
Cherished summit was so near: an apex was only 350 meters higher – just two days of climbing! But – as it uses to happen – when the team was at 7450, a heavy snowfall, which was alternating only with a storm wind, stopped climbers.

| | 03.06.2003: BASK – Jannu North Face’ expedition
Mt. Jannu (Nepal, 7710 m), the 38th tallest peak in the world, is called a mountain of the 21st century and it deserves this title. Its unrelentingly steep 10,000 foot north face still remains a true last great problem in the Himalayas. In spite of numerous expeditions of the world’s best climbers none could ascend up this wall. Now Russians challenge this Face.

| | 17.03.2003: Valery Babanov is on his way to Nuptse again. This time he is no more alone
Nuptse East, 7804 m, is the one of the five Nuptse summits that has rebutted 10 attempts of strongest world climbing teams to conquer it. In spite of extraordinary efforts of the climbers none could reach the apex during last 17 years.
Our compatriot Valery Babanov is the only climber who dared for a single combat with the mountain. Last autumn Valery tried a solo climb up the hardest route but this attempt was smashed with heavy snowfalls and hurricanes above 6300 m. It made the final push to a summit impossible. `Devil’s tower’ was left unclimbed.
Now, half a year later, an honored climber and a winner of `Piolet d’Or–2002’, Valery Babanov made his mind for a next attempt to tame the shrew. But this time he’ll be not alone – an experienced climber from Alma-Ata, Vladimir Suviga, will join Valery.
