At an altitude of 14327 ft (4367 m) it\u2019s cold; even with its close proximity to equator, and rain showers are possible as well. This was exactly the case. The wind was even so strong that Olga\u2019s tent was literally blown off despite of being correctly pitched.<\/p>\n<p>One more complication was introduced by local regulations. One of the rules of \u201cKaspersky 7 volcanoes\u201d expedition says that Olya should climb volcanoes alone. But it\u2019s not allowed in Papua New Guinea, so Olga was obliged to take 5 (!) local guides. Most surprisingly, they declined to climb any further when the remaining distance to the top was about 1600 ft (500 m). They told her that it\u2019s too dangerous! So Olga continued her climb alone. This was very upsetting for natives \u2013 they\u2019re strong local men and they can\u2019t climb where a Russian girl can? Eventually, they took their chances and climbed Giluwe. But it turned out that they had no experience at all and it was their first time on top of Giluwe \u2013 thanks to Olga.<\/p>\n<p>After that, it was not a great surprise to discover, that each year only about five people climb this peak, and Olga was the first Russian woman on top of Giluwe.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/103\/2013\/09\/06015534\/P1070698-1-1024x768.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter  wp-image-2741\" alt=\"P1070698\" src=\"https:\/\/media.kasperskydaily.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/103\/2013\/09\/06015534\/P1070698-1-1024x768.jpeg\" width=\"819\" height=\"614\"><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It took the whole day to get back to Giluwe\u2019s base.
