	We go up to the pass "Nizhnii Tsaner" at the altitude of 4200 m. We're on the snow in August!


	Suddenly the wind goes up at the pass..


	Regina is getting ready to go down. Wind strengthens..


	One by one we all get down some hundred meters.


	The next day. We're VERY SAD because the strong wind blows.. away our 3-place tent.. So we all 7 had to sleep out on the snow in 4-place tent. Only some had slept a few hours: very strong wind with snow..


	Our leader has taken a hard decision to turn back.. We go other way to the base through the pass "Verhnii Tsaner" (4300 m.).


	We're lost.. Nobody knows how to find the way back.. We waste the time. The night falls when we're on 45 degree slope of rocks.. The decision is taken to wait through the night and not to move - so are we exhausted after 13 hour march... (altitude 3200 m.)


	And here we are! Happy and Alive! Our leader gives us a half-day brake to take the stress out :) We eat as kings! (Altitude 3000 m.).


	Wild rivers of the mountains. Water is so clean..


	We are descending. There is more and more grass. Altitude of 2800 m.


	And the flowers..


	And the mountain goats which have little fear of us..


	Black Hole smiles. :) He likes this day - there is a lot of food!


	Water flows down, and we go down too. Altitude of 2300 m.


	Finally we're at the base! Summit of the Gestola shines at us. Altitude of 2000 m.
