SERBIAN WAY

1 April 2004

member mountain climbing expedition tries to conquer the highest unconquered Himalayan summit - Kabru.

The way is a circle. And the man is a little dot in the center of the circle.

Behind the members of the EXTREME SUMMIT TEAM, there stand numerous summits that they have conquered. But, this one is special! There stands the "Roof of the World". But, this one is different! This one is higher! The success in this endeavor, that our foot be the first to stand on it, gives us the right to name it, once and for all. And we have chosen its name - the SERBIAN WAY.

The Plan

The Extreme Summit Team is the sports club which gathers all of the best local alpinists and other extreme sportsmen. Behind us there are a lot of scaled peaks of the Alps, the Andes, the Himalayas and Caucasus, from Mount Blanc to Mount Everest (8850), the highest peak in the world. The members of The Extreme Summit Team plan on scaling Kabru, the peak of the Himalayas, in 2004. It is one of the highest unscaled peaks [?] in the world .

This expedition is one of the most significant enterprises in the world in 2004. For domestic public, this is the enterprise which will definitely mark this year. The expedition will be realized in the pre-monsoon season, April-May 2004. Kabru is the highest unclimbed peak on the list of NMA (Nepal Mountaineering Association), and it is situated in East Nepal, on the very border with India. One of the highest peaks of the world, Kangchenjunga (8586m) is located some 10 km north of Kabru. The base camp will be located on the moraines of Yalung Glacier, at approximately 4750 m.

Since this is going to be the first attempt to climb this peak [by their route], it is logical that direction “via normale” should be looked for, but we are going to follow “west face” direction, which is actually the primary direction. The expedition is going to start on April 1, 2004 and the return to Serbia and Montenegro is planned for May 15, 2004.
