Today we will introduce you to Hristo Plamenov Hristov - the sailor who on September 27, 2024 climbed to the First Base Camp of Mount Everest at 5364 m. Hristo will tell us how such an undertaking is organized, what is the difference between a trekking tourist and mountaineer and how Sherpas understand happiness.<\/em><\/p>\n

Introduce yourself to us: who are you, what do you do in everyday life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hello! My name is Hristo, 27 years old. I was born in the city of Varna and I live in the city of Aksakovo together with a girl and we are getting married soon. I graduated from the Higher Naval School "N. Y. Vaptsarov" in 2018. I work as a sailor, majoring in "ship mechanic". I have been an officer for several years and sometimes I have to lead people and make important and responsible decisions. I love my job. I enjoy troubleshooting and troubleshooting. The work is sometimes dynamic and tiring.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong>And from the sea you moved to the mountains\u2026 why did you decide to take this journey?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since I was little, I have loved spending time in nature. As a child, I was a member of a scout club, which taught me how to be a young and responsible person. Every summer and winter we went to camps - we slept in tents, we were taught to be independent, to survive in nature, to know the forests and the terrain and to navigate in any conditions. I have taken many forest survival courses as well as mountaineering courses.<\/p>\n

As a child, I hiked most of the Bulgarian mountains with my family, and today it continues to give me pleasure. My fiancee and I climb the Bulgarian peaks and we like to ski in the winter. But like every little kid I secretly had a dream to see the great Himalayas. I was given the opportunity as an older person. I wanted to be there, to see them with my own eyes, to feel their greatness. On the other hand, I also wanted to see how the local population lives in Nepal. To explore their culture and traditions.<\/p>\n

\"\"How do you organize everything?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The idea popped into my head very spontaneously. The truth is that I was reading an interesting book related to the Himalayas. I was greatly affected, and thought whether I could not also fulfill my dream of going and seeing these great mountains. A very long reading and watching videos on the internet began. I found a Bulgarian from Sofia who had uploaded his experience from Nepal. He had reached the base camp of Everest. I contacted this man.<\/p>\n

His name is Nesho. A very experienced mountaineer and alpinist. We met in Sofia and discussed my idea. After that, we spoke repeatedly, with me writing down each piece of advice in my notebook. I now had a goal and a direction to follow, I wanted to go to Everest Base Camp. I knew from experience what clothes and gear I needed to get by strictly following my list. I found a Bulgarian company that organized my tickets and reception in Nepal. The organization was ready. That was the easy part.<\/p>\n

What kind of preparation does one need to embark on such an adventure? Do you have to be a professional climber to reach the foot of the peak?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here, I will answer this question like this: you absolutely do not need to be a professional climber to reach the base camp, but that does not mean that it is easy and it will be like a walk in the sea garden. This is a mountain that can surprise you with time, as it did for me. From a physical point of view, it is difficult. The journey is about 150 kilometers in total, and on most days it is an ascent at high altitude.<\/p>\n

There is one very important factor that can prevent the ascent and that is the correct overcoming of altitude sickness. At an altitude above 4000-5000 meters, the oxygen pressure is less and breathing problems begin. There is a constant headache until you start going low. In rare cases, at this altitude, it is possible to get a complication with the lungs or the brain, because of less oxygen, and then it is dangerous. One must observe oneself very strictly. There should be days where there is an ascent, but then you go back to sleeping lower to acclimatize the body. I had two days like that which were tough, but after going lower I felt good. There are also drugs that reduce the effect of altitude sickness on the body, I had it in me, but apparently I overcame the symptoms naturally.<\/p>\n

It is certainly recommended that people who go there are physically fit. To have done basic physical training, including large transitions with high denivilation, physical exercises for the whole body and to be theoretically prepared for what awaits them on the way.<\/p>\n
