On May 8th Alexey Sivkov and Evgeny Lesnitsky, members of many of our travels, climbed the famous route Nose on El Capitan.  Two guides from the company 7 Summits Club helped them to make this achievement.    The ascent lasted for 3 days, including 2 nights on the wall (on the platforms) and one night on the summit of El Capitan.  We congratulate climbers on their victory and wish them new achievements and interesting mountains!

Internet is weak. Therefore, no pictures, only the text:

There is Alexander Abramov from the ABC camp 6400m. The second group of the 7 Summits Club spent a night on the North Col of Everest (7000m) for the purpose of acclimatization. The night, of course, was terrible. I woke up 100 times. First time, as usual, at 22: 00. And then until 5:00 am - all the time.

But all people are still alive.  We spend next night at 6400  and tomorrow morning will go down to the Base Camp for rest.

Now on the Saddle the third group will overnight.

Team One of our expedition to Everest returned to the base camp

 Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Tibet:

Hello! The group of the guides Kotlyar and Rostovtsev successfully summited the North Col of Everest. Today we went down to the base camp at 5200. Two members of our group Kristina Kozlova and Alexander Kubasov successfully completed their program with this ascent and now they can relax. The rest is early to relax, we  should save energy and good luck for the final round. We hope the mountain will let…

Today, two groups of the 7 Summits Club  independently made a successful ascent on the Himalayan six-thousander Mera Peak. It was: a group Sasha-Polya-Inna, and also spouses Anna and Alexey Shpak.  In the pictures we see good weather, they were lucky, so they saw the legendary panorama from this mountain…

Alexander Abramov, leader of the Everest expedition of 7 summits Club:

I want to introduce Dima Tertychnyy -  a member of the 7 Summits Club expedition who in his 17 years already climbed 6 from 7 summits and now goes to Everest. He can become the youngest Russian and European to accomplish this feat.

Dmitry (Dima) Tertychnyy:  I am finishing the 7 summits program. (The 7 summits program includes the highest mountain of each continent). Throughout the whole history there are not more than 600 people who have finished this program. Occasionally, my last summit of this program is the Mother of mountains (Mt Everest) 8848m. To make it more interesting, I will mention George Mallory, who was the first man to attempt to summit Mt Everest in 1923. He died and his body is still lying at the height of 8600m. At the moment I am studying at Charterhouse School, George Mallory was a teacher here and his last dinner before the expedition was at Charterhouse. Together with my school we decided to dedicate this ascent to development of education in Nepal. We are doing this with the help of Global Action Nepal. GAN is an non-governmental organization which is working to improve access to, and the quality of education for poor and marginalized people in Nepal. If anyone wants to know more, you could visit their website.

 Not everybody has access to education in the 21st century. Our goal is to raise 10.000 pounds. At the moment we managed to raise 1100 pounds. I will be thankful to each person, who will decide to participate in this project. This is the link for participating:

Lyudmila Korobeshko, guide and Director of The 7 Summits Club:

Hi, best regards from Elbrus region! Today we held a solemn ceremony of awarding climbers on Elbrus by diplomas and medals. By the way, this is the first of this kind of medals that our Club gave climbers.

 In total, we have awarded 25 persons:

Alexander Abramov, leader of the Everest expedition of the 7 Summits Club:

A message from 5th of May. Today our second group has climbed to ABC camp at 6400m. The first group today climbed to the North Col 7000m. And the third group sleeps in Middle Camp at an altitude of 5800 m. Now very strong wind dominated on Everest slopes.  We want to complete the second acclimatization rotation before promised storms on May 8-10.

We also celebrated the birthday of Kamil Suсhanski, our member from Poland. He is 41 years old....

Lyudmila Korobeshko from Elbrus region: Neymar himself, the captain of the Brazilian national football team, and the whole team signed this shirt. Our friend Pepe came to Elbrus today with a Brazilian film crew to shoot a film about climbing Elbrus specifically for the opening ceremony of the World Cup in Russia. In support of national football team.  Sergey Avtomonov will work with the group as a guide. Brazilians have a lot of different equipment and drones. They promise to glorify the 7 Summit Club all over Brazil;)

I did it!  I climbed Lobuche East! Wow… such a mountain!  The average steepness of the snow slope is about 35-45 degrees, and sometimes reaches 50.

The way up took 4 hours 45 min., descent to the camp 2 hours. And return to the village Lobuche seemed never-ending and never succumbed to any dimension...

 On the eve of the ascent, still kneeling in the snow, I earnestly beg the gods of good weather... And gods, stubbornly wanting still to hear anything about the scorching sun and the clear sky, suddenly turned towards me, revealing a truly magnificent, breathtaking views!!!

 I express my gratitude to the local gods, as well as to the 7 Summits Club  for prompt organization of my individual climbing)))

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Mexico:

Today, our group climbed on Orizaba. Everyone who wanted to and went on the ascent, stood on top of the highest volcano in North America. Before that there were days of acclimatization. On the eve of the ascent it was raining. It lasted till ten o'clock. But by twelve, when we were about to go out, we were finally shown the stars. Having overcome the stone obstacles and endless steep snow climb, our group reached the top!

Groups of our gudes Sergei Semykin and Dmitri Semenov caught on top a good view. And the group of Andrei Berezin, reached the summit later, was in a fog. But in General, the weather in Elbrus is very good: rather warm, the wind is weak.  The summit was reached by 25 clients and 5 guides.

Alexander Abramov, head of the Everest expedition of the 7 Summits Club:

Our 3 groups are resting in the Base Camp. The party for May 1, full massage, a wonderful meal from our Chilean chef. Shower and bar.

Tomorrow we again go up to the North Col. 7000 m, where we plan an overnight. All 3 groups must have time to make this acclimatization hike before May 8. After May 8, a storm wind...

Lyudmila Korobeshko from the area of Elbrus:

Hello everyone! Three of our group on Elbrus has successfully completed acclimatization. Today is a rest day. And in the night (early morning tomorrow) we all go to storm the summit. This is about 30 people with participants and guides! Wish us luck! By the way, the youngest our climber Sasha Rumyantseva, daughter of our guide Olga Rumyantseva, will climb with us. It looks like mom and daughter are going to storm the same day two different peaks. Mom – Orizaba  in Mexico,  and the daughter -  Mount Elbrus in Russia.

Having gone down to the base camp after the first acclimatization exit, the team of the  7 Summit Club solemnly celebrated the day of labor and spring, as well as the world day of solidarity of workers.

Yesterday we came to ABC. At an altitude of 6400m. The snow fell. We slept the first night with oxygen. Magically. Today we went to the altitude of 6550m under the beginning of the ropes on the North Col. Snow, cold, but without wind. Tomorrow we go down, to the bath and massage. By the way tomorrow, May 1, we are organizing a Party in our super comfortable camp. We invite all the expeditions that will be in the Base Camp.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Mexico:

 Our team finally got together yesterday in Mexico city. All day members arrived from different corners of the planet. This morning we leave for La Malinche to climb the volcano of the same name. In the meantime, we get acquainted with the local cuisine and visual agitation. All it was a bit unexpected for Mexico…

Alexei Lonchinsky, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Nepal:

Hello! Our group today climbed the summit of Lobuche East. All who came to storm, successfully climbed to the top. The weather was calm, cloudy. Not cold.  We went out at 2-30 and at the top we were  at 7: 30. At 8:00 we began the descent and at the tents we were at 9:30. We drank tea here and went down to the loggia of the same name. Now we are resting…
