End of the Krubera 2007 expedition (updated after Cavex; the 21st january 2007) "Today (the 21st january 2007) a caving part of our expedition has finished.
From the bivouac in -700 m, Shuvalov, Firsov, Sklyar, Venyskiy, Ushakevich and Mislevets being loaded with six transport bags set off upwards. Smernikov with Provalov pulled four bags from the meander "Crimea" out. We finished a work in the cave for the once. Majority of the expedition equipment and material was carried forward up to the helicopter field. There´s a totally cloudy sky below us, and above us there are stars and a new moon. The wind is strong, but it´s cold. Klimchouk made a grog and Seryoza Smernikov prepared an outstanding pilav/pilaf. We hope we´ll be lucky, weather will get better and we´ll fly away tomorrov. Provalov"... + photos in the original contribution by Denis Provalov (via Cavex).
