Tuvinian alpinists Maadyr-ool Khovalyg, Mariana Surunchap and Vladimir Diukov on 8, June have successfully conquered the fourth peak - Mount McKinley, which is the highest mountain in North America (6193 m) and which is called “Denali” by local Indians. The ascent was going on 16 days.
Health of the members of the team is rather good and the planned event on the ”roof of North America” was held together with the head of minister of the Russian Federation for Affairs of Civil Defence, Emergencies and Disaster Relief Sergey Shoygu and with flags of Russia, Tuva and Geographic Society of Russia in their hands.
