Updates on Himalayan Expeditions

MountEverest.net has some excellent, and interesting updates from the Himalayas. First up, is this update about the Kazakh climbing team of Denis Urubko and Serguey Samoilov, who have summited Manaslu via a new route, which is always an exciting goal for any climber. Manaslu is a 26,758 foot peak located in Nepal. It's located in the Gurkha Massif, and is the eigth highest mountain in the world.

Next comes this weather update from Everest itself, which seems to indicate that a "weather window" is opening on the Big Mountain, which means teams that are in position, and have gone through acclimatization, will be making their bid for the summit this week. Good luck to everyone. Climb safe!
