Victor Kozlov's and Konstantin Babkin's film has transferred spectators to the world of a huge wall, with ice-covered ropes, falling stones, storm winds, with sparkling ferro-concrete ice of the Everest, with hopes for success, with alarms, and with healthy Russian climbing humour - as, for example, Siberia group play bridge in the small tent at 7500 m...

At hall entrance - magnificent Himalaya panoramas - photo gallery by Gleb Sokolov. Highly professional photos - result of heavy work of the artist-climber, and the exposed works - only small part of all made in the expedition. The two-kilogram camera is always with Gleb - up to the top, and, despite of any bad weather and weariness, he does unique pictures.

Expedition camera-man Serguey Shakuro not only filmed and did photo, but also wrote water colors near the Base Camp - it is really the Himalaya fairy tale. Works have not been exposed at the party, but, I hope, you will see it soon.
