20 years passed since impossible avalanche on peak Lenin killed 44 climbers from URSS, Israel, Czechoslovakia (now it is 2 different country), Switzerland and Spain... 23 of them were from my native city Leningrad. I remember nearly everybody of them by names, some of them were guys I used to climb together, some of them were Very Important People for Leningrad climbing society... we missed all of them...
i met them at achik-tash just 2 week before the avalanch. they always stay in my mind the same young, cheerful and full of life and energy...
