UKRAINIAN BANNER UP

13 November, 2012 - 00:00

Climbing an 8,000 meter mountain is like setting a record in any Olympic sport. Ukrainian mountain-climbers have been frequent guests in the Himalayas during last five years.

The author managed to visit two such expeditions and is happy to report that another 8,000 meter mountain has been conquered. The group led by my friends from Kharkiv Serhiy Bershov and Ihor Sverhun had chosen the route of the previous expedition, which had been canceled due to two deaths. Bershov and Sverhun took the group as high as 8012 meters and put Ukrainian banner there. The program calling for placing the Ukrainian flag on the highest peaks of the world continues.
