Even if he's only 30 years old, Horia Colibasanu has already done 5 major expeditions.
The last one was the most outstanding: the conquest of Dhaulagiri peak in Hilmalaya
8167 meters in altitude
I left the base camp. I'm now at the base of the climbing.
And I will try to reach to the top of the mountain.
The climbing lasted for a month an it wasn't easy at all.
In the heights, the wind and the blizzard made the mission more difficult.
We are near the tent where we slept last night.
We try to get it out of the snow, a little bit.
Every step they made put them in danger.
We reached a flat surface, the sun has risen and we can hear falling stones.
I have to be very careful.
From the 7 members of the team, 3 had to quit on their way.
The weather is not good at all.
We will leave now to the third camp and we hope that everything will be OK.
The final part of the climbin was the most difficult.
They had to climb an almost vertical wall. Even a small mistake could be fatal.
We are at 7700 meters. My team mates are a little bit fainted.
We are up on Dhaulagiri and here is a guy who didn't wanted to leave,
he wanted to wait for the helicopter to take him.
I'm a little weakened, because of the cold and tireness, but I will continue.
The international expedition continued with the attempt to conquer Anapurna
a 8000 meters peak. But the bad weather made them quit.
They had less than 500 meters to go.
We had to give up because we felt very weakened.
The expedition costed over 10.000 USD, but Horia managed to pay by himself.
He wants to continue and he's decided to conquer other peaks from Hymalaya.
I hope to go again in the spring of next year.
Probably Kanjunjunga, the third highest peak from the world.
Horia Colibasanu also has a displeasure.
That's because moutain climbing is not well known by young people.
He wants to make a movie about his past expeditions, to promote his hobby.
