Sergey Borshov - South Wall Lhotse. Sergey Borshov: "I watched the film" Everest "and he really frightened me! Excerpt characterizing Borshov, Sergey Igorevich

And, of course, representatives of the media were interested - how close to reality is that the film workers will see on the screen. Sergey Borsov said: "I first watched a movie in IMAX 3D and" Everest "really frightened me!". Sports climb, nevertheless, significantly different from the commercial, which is speaking in the film Baltazar Kormacur. About it told Mstislav Gorbenko. "There is an iron rule of climbing - after 14.00, it is necessary to return back, regardless of whether you climbed to the top or before it is 100 meters left. By evening, the weather is usually spoiled and you can not have time to return. ". In addition, as Sergey Borshov emphasized, "The authors embarrassed reality quite a bit. Upstairs, people look not very beautiful - they have snot to the knee ... "
Regarding commercial ascents, Ukrainian climbers expressed a few skeptical opinion. True, when the business just started, this difference was not so stronger. Nowadays, the path to the top through the icefall (stairs, railings) is maintained in order of the Nepalese and now instead of $ 100% of $ 500 from each climbers. Sad statistics says every fourth of those who are trying to storm the top of the world dies. Recently, the Japanese paid the work of 36 Sherpov who cleaned the slopes from the Tibetan side from the corpses. In 2005, relatives of the deceased Korean paid $ 360 thousand to remove his body from the top.
The whole problem is that, starting from a height of 7500 meters, the so-called "death zone" begins. At the height of flights of supersonic aircraft, a person is not able to be long without oxygen. Sergei Borsov said that the rise on Lhotza lasted 8 days (of which 4 - without oxygen) and not a drowned low climber lost 15 kg (!). After the ascents without oxygen at the height, more than 7500 he had to recover about a year.
Nowadays, commercialization, especially from the Chinese side of Everest, has reached the limit - dozens of groups come out for one route, a queue is created. And earlier it was a rule: one route is one group.
Many heroes of the film "Everest" Mstislav Gorbenko And Sergey Borsov knew personally. According to Bershov, Anatoly Breuryvwho saved people from the Rob Hall group, was a real Russian warrant, but, contrary to what was shown in the film, he did not play the harmonica and the whiskey did not drink.
Scott Fisher, who played Jake Jillenhol in the film, organized the first commercial tours in 1992, four years before the events shown in the picture. "Scott Fisher in the picture is not shown from a very good side. In fact, he was a very strong leader. Even in the mountains, he did not release a satellite telephone from her hands, conducted a report on live, I was looking for and found sponsors!"- told Mstislav Gorbenko who he personally knew and was friends with Fisher with Fisher.
Ukrainian climbers agreed that the head of the Rob Hall group died because contrary to the circumstances (sharp deterioration in the weather) decided to help his friend Doug Hansen to reach the top ...
Sergey Borsov noticed on this: "Mountains stood and stand. Life is one, and in the mountains you can always go back! "
Especially for the site Nikolai Lenznev
