Azerbaijani alpinist climbs Island Peak
By Sabina Idayatova
Azerbaijani alpinist currently residing in the U.S., Jamil Khairulin, climbed to Himalayan Island Peak (Imja Tse) with the accompaniment of a sharpa- guide on October 25.
The height of Imja Tse is 6,189 meter above the sea level.
The peak is located close to Everest and Lhotse Mounts in the
highland Khumbu region in the territory of Nepal. The Island Peak
is the extension of the southern ridge extremity of the giant
Lhotse Shar. A huge glacier separates the mountain from the main
wall of Lhotse.
Imja Tse is a classical 6000 m highland mostly popular among world
climbers.
The final part of the ascent to the peak requires considerable
physical effort, as it presents a wall of thick snow height of more
than a hundred meters at an angle of75 degrees, and in some places
even more. Luckily, Jamil had amazingly clear weather in the
morning, and he was able to take some interesting photos at the
peak.
During the expedition, Jamil climbed alone to the Chhukung (5833
meters) and Chhukung-Ri (5550 meters) peaks.
The climbing of Khairulin devoted to the 90th anniversary of national leader Heydar Aliyev.
