  Valeri Babanov and his fine Himalayan ascents
The 7804m Nuptse East peak which is one of the 4 subsidiary summits of the Nuptse main (7855m) on the Nuptse massif has turned back several attempts by renowned Himalayan climbers in past 18 years.
His desire to climb this yet unfinished and challenging route was impregnated in autumn '98 when he had participated with a big Russian team to climb the 8500meter high Lhotse Shar as his debut Himalayan expedition.
Valeri likes to dedicate his success on Nuptse to all his friends who have lost their lives in the Himalaya specially to Vladimir Bashkirov who died in his arms when climbing on Lhotse Shar in 1997.

That would be us- the crazy brothers who have a little tent in the middle of nowhere, at the upper part of the Valley of the Silence, near the imposing flanks of the north spur of Nuptse.
In most other situations, this is not a problem, but our route starts at 20,000 ft. Instead of starting the climb with an alpine start, we decided that it would be best to fix the first 900 feet of the rather imposing face.
Yes, we summited a new route on Nuptse's main summit, by what we believe to be the first truly alpine ascent.
