Alex Abramov: Today, January 13th. On the eve of the Russian Old -New Year Celebration we started the climb from the high camp from a height of 4600m at 6 a.m.. We had before us a vertical, at first glance wall. But it was possible to find a chimney in which Luda climbed, as a young. And I admire the spectacle.

Then there was the top and adseil in 5 pitches. At the summit there is a bust of Bolivar.
And then we went back to Merida - extreme sports capital of Venezuela.

The Peak Bolivar ascent took 3 days and it was very interesting and impressive.
Tomorrow we fly to Waterfall Salto Angel ...

Hello! This is Alexander Abramov, right from the top of Ritacuba Blanca. Now this is the highest peak in Colombia, which is possible to climb. Other high mountains are closed by the local Indians and the highest peak Cristobal Colomb is banned for climbing. So I'm now with Luda on a very beautiful peak height of 5300 meters or 5340 - says Luda. And we dedicate this ascent birthday of our son Maxim, who is now 13 years old.

Good afternoon! This is Ludmila Korobeshko and Alexander Abramov from Colombia. Yesterday we arrived in Bogota, Colombia. And immediately we went to the mountains. We have overcome 400 kilometers and now we are in the mountains of El Kakuy, at an altitude of 4000 meters. And on this night, we are already planning to go on the climb to the highest point of El Kaku - Ritacuba Blanca almost 5400 meters (5330-5350m). And this ascent we want to devote birthday of our son, Maxim Abramov. In general, now everything is in order here. We hope that we will be able using our Antarctic acclimatization, in such a short time, to reach this five thousand meters peak. We have many plans, there are many interesting places here in Colombia, but part of them is difficult and almost impossible to get. But we want!
