May, 15 2012 Italian climber and helicopter pilot Simone Moro tried to reach the spot by heli Fishtail, which rescue climbers in Himalaya. Simone went down by the wire. The wall's relief is very difficult. "this is the highest long line of the world on the vertical face", - said Simone.

Alex and Sveta were so close to the summit, they had already climbed the wall...

The tent is at 6350 m. Simone found only Sveta's body. And the gear for one climber - one ice-axe, one harness (not weared), some carabines and... no ropes...

after 2 hours of the hard work he failed to take the body out of the icy tent ... Tomorrow he'll continue...

And next, May 18, Simone reached the spot again. He finished the work - took the body out of ice, pitched it to the ware.

But it was Alexey's body, not Sveta...
