A four-member Russian team holds an autumn permit for Everest listed as "Everest Other Route", and says it intends to climb without supplemental oxygen. A second Russian team of six is heading for the Kangchenjunga region to attempt two first ascents and then a new line on Jannu. Both expeditions are moving while the commercial Manaslu season has closed.
