ANNAPURNA CIRCUITBesisahar to Nayapul

Σκοπός είναι να ολοκληρώσουντο Annapurna Circuitαπό Besisahar στο Nayapul,χωρίς καµιά παράκαµψη ή µεταφορά µε άλλο µέσο (jeep, yak κλπ).

Στόχος είναι να ολοκληρώσουν αυτή τη διαδροµή στο συντοµότερο δυνατόν χρόνο, και αν γίνεταισε λιγότερο από 72 ώρες.

Στη διαδικασία εγκλιµατισµού (νωρίτερα) θα χρειαστούν8-10 ηµέρες για να ανέβουνσε υψόµετρο πάνω από τα5500 µέτρα (πιθανόν στην κορφή Pisang στα 6091m).

Το συνολικό εγχείρηµαθα διαρκέσει 18-20 ηµέρες.

Their aim is through teamwork overexertion to support non-pro�t organization “The Ark of the World” and to motivate other people to act similarly.

The purpose of the mission is dual: Integration Annapurna circuit within less than 72 hours without any circumvention or transport by other means and conquer the top of Pisang Peak at 6091m.

The total project will last 18-20 days.

High altitude that reaches 5416m and sudden altitude changes(50 hours climbing on 5416m elevation is considered extremely dangerous and painful)

Low temperatures that may fall under -10°C through the day but in the evening might fall under -20°C.Conditions such as snow-storm and frozen terrain are likely to exist at this time of year and due to high altitude.

Achieving autonomy to our effort is also a dif�culty factor.Being able to take supplies (partial) only in a few and long distance villages forces us to move with backpacks up to 12-15kg carrying equipment and food supply.

Finally, the particularity of our effort that is going to take place in a country (Nepal) and in an area (Annapurna) confronts us with environmental challenges (humidity, cold, abrupt climate change), diet modi�cation challenges (non-potable water, dyspeptic and unusual food) and travel problems (jet lag due to 5 hours time difference, more than 24 hours travelling time by plane and busses).

Seth Wolpin (who holds the record of Annapurna circuit)completed 218km with +/-10,000m altitude difference in approximately 72 hours.

The objective dif�culties of this project are:

5416m 12-15kg-20οC

Garmin GPS will be the of�cial timekeeper of our attempt, while TAAN (Trekking Agency Association of Nepal) team crew and Nepal Trail Running organization will be informed for monitoring and updating.

pisang peak[ CLIMBING 6091M ]

Pisang Peak (Jong Ri) is a pyramidal trekking peak above Pisang, a village on the Annapurna Circuit, within the Manang District, northern Nepal. A german expedition team �rst climbed the Pisang Peak in 1955.

THIS ENTIRE EFFORT IS MADE WITH THE PURPOSE TO COLLECT REVE-NUES AND SENSITIZE MORE PEOPLE IN ORDER TO PROMOTE BETTER LIVING CONDITIONS FOR CHILDREN OF THE “THE ARK OF THE WORLD”.

“The Ark of the World” is a voluntary non-pro�t organization of Special Care and Protection to Mothers and Children.

The Ark operates and addresses mostly to unpro-tected children, mostly coming from single parent families, and some even without parents, living in dif�cult conditions of neglect and abandonment, without medical care and uncertain future.

NickolasMagitsis

Expeditions all around the world he has lead and participated in:

This effort has been accompanied and supported by “The Extra Mile”, a non-pro�t organization created to maximize the results of superathlete Leuteris Paraskevas’ effort to take advantage of his physical skills in order to provide �nancial aid to Child Welfare Organizations, through sports events and participation in international “overexertion”activities.

Leuteris’s vision was embraced and framed by a team with the same orientation which led soon enough to the creation of “The Extra Mile”.

In a world full of challenges, nobody can achieve the very best by acting individually. Only by working as a team, along with people that share a common vision and goal, we are able to build a safer and better future for all of us and particularly for those who need social support.
