"Valery Babanov and Yuri Koshelenko have made the first ascent of Nuptse East (7804m). There have been over 15 attempts on this difficult summit which has been described as a ‘last great problem’ in the Everest region of Nepal. The Russian climbers reached the summit on 2 November and UIAA Partner BASK which supported the expedition held a special press conference."
