Our team of climbers on Orizaba was named "Coyotes sin casas".  Today we climbed the Cerro Negro 4600m mountain. Everything went well, cheerfully. There is a hope that all members of the team will reach the summit of the highest volcano in North America, Mount Orizaba.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal!  The group "UFO and He" continued their journey. Today we moved from Tuli Kark to the village of Kothe. The route passed through picturesque places. At first it was a rhododendron forest with thickets of bamboo, which was replaced by fir. Tomorrow we are going to the village of Tagnak.

Today our team of climbers on Orizaba moved from Mexico City to the village of Zopan at an altitude of 3000m. We drove past the mountain of La Malincha and by lunch we were in a high-mountain refuge.

After lunch, we went out for a beautiful trekking through the forest to the waterfall and returned to the refuge closer to night. The whole team has become friends and happily spends the evening near the fireplace. Tomorrow, according to the plan, we will have an acclimatization ascent to the Sierra Negra Volcano with a height of 4600m.

All Namaste from Nepal! This is the group “Crown" sends greetings to you. Yesterday we all gathered in Kathmandu, checked the equipment, walked through the local streets. And today we successfully flew by helicopter to Lukla and went on the route, reaching the village of Phakding. Today it was a warm-up day, tomorrow the main route will begin.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal!  Bored? For two days we, the “UFO and He” group, were out of touch. During this time, we have passed quite a large section of the route. So, in order. Yesterday we moved from Lukla to Chutang (3400 meters), settled in relatively comfortable conditions. We had a snack, slept, went to fix the acclimatization higher. The goal was to meet the red panda. Failed. But it doesn't matter. The next night was in the loggia. And in the morning we went towards the Zatrva-La pass (4600 meters). From it we safely descended to the village of Tuli Kark at 4200 meters.  We rest, recover. Tomorrow we go to the Kothe village.

Dmitry Semenov, the guide of the 7 Summits  Club, reports from Nepal:

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal! Our group "Gornyashki" went on the route to the Everest base camp. Today we arrived at the high-altitude Lukla airport and started our journey from there. After 3 hours we reached the village of Phakding (2600m), where we stayed in a comfortable lodge. Tomorrow is a busy and difficult day, going to Namche Bazaar.

The expedition to Orizaba Peak begins. The highest volcano in North America is 5611m. Mexico is now preparing to celebrate the Day of the Dead. I hope we all stay alive after the trip. The country is amazing in its beauty. Today, the participants gather in Mexico City. There will be many beautiful photos.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal!  Our compact group "UFO and He", heading for the Mera Peak, arrived in Nepal yesterday.  And today we are already in Lukla. Early departure from Kathmandu, 4 hours by mountain road, and we are in Lukla. As soon as we landed, a fine rain began to fall. We stayed in a comfortable hotel. We are getting used to a new height for us. Tomorrow we will go to Chatang, a village at the foot of the Zatrva-La pass.

Information from our friends from Vento company: Alexey Lonchinsky called today at 12 o'clock. They are doing well, according to plan. In three days, Yuri and Alexey reached the base camp, acclimatized to a height of more than 6000 - went to the nearest mountain (as far as the connection allows – Furayma). We have completed all the tasks of acclimatization and equipment testing. Today they are resting. Tomorrow, if the weather permits, they go out under the route, set up a camp. The day after tomorrow for the assault. The weather forecast is "not very good", perhaps the ascent will be shifted by a day.

 We remind you that the climbers plans to make the first ascent along the Southeastern buttress to the top of Rolwaling Kang (6645 m). Alexey Lonchinsky and Yuri Koshelenko are among the best climbers in the World, repeatedly awarded with various "Golden Ice axes", champions of Russia. Alexey is a leading methodist coach at the 7 Summits Club. He manages all the training mountaineering camps that our company conducts. Yuri Koshelenko also worked as a guide in the 7 Summits Club company, although for a long time.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! From the group "Chronic climbers". Yesterday we returned to Kathmandu after our fun expedition. We flew away in time. An award ceremony was held in the evening. The program has come to a good conclusion.

We spent the night from October 13 to October 14 at the Khvaltish Hotel at an altitude of 1613 meters. It is located on the shore of the Gergebil reservoir. So far, only the first steps have been taken here to improve this promising place. We had dinner and breakfast in glamping dome tents near the hotel. There's nothing wrong with the food here. In the evening we were pleased with dancing by our friends! And in the morning there was exercise, breakfast with coffee and a long journey... Dagestan is bigger than you think. This picturesque, hospitable republic largely consists of objects of interest to tourists. You can spend a month here, but you won't see everything. This is true. But we simply did not consider it possible to ignore the oldest city of the Russian Federation, the millennial Derbent. Of course, the walls erected in the sixth century are impressive. Yes, indeed. We had a wonderful guide who courageously coped with a large group surrounded by hundreds of other tourists. At the end we had a very hearty meat lunch with fragrant local wine. And back to the buses – to the airport…

There we said goodbye to our Dagestani friends. I really want to see them again and visit Dagestan again.

The highest point of the Gunib district is the Mayak (Lighthouse) Mountain with a height of 2,352 meters. Today our team passed the traverse of the massif, visiting the famous Gunib tunnel on the descent. It was punched specifically for the passage of Emperor Alexander II in the 60s of the XIX century.  As a result, we got about 20 kilometers with a height difference of up to 1 kilometer. The weather was great, everyone in the group walked at a different pace, but steadily. We admired the grandiose views of mountainous Dagestan, saw soaring eagles under us. Many thanks to the local guys who accompanied us and showed us the right way! All the participants of this climb were just happy with how they spent that day!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal from the group "Chronic climbers"! We conclude our program with a successful ascent of all participants on the top of Island Peak. The weather was gorgeous. Everything went perfectly. We climbed to the top without any problems and went down to the village of Chukung.

Natalia Marinkevich, Head of the Crimean programs of the 7 Summits Club:

Fyodor Kuprichenkov completes the program of the Mountaneering School of the Crimea. Perfect weather for rock climbing and the most beautiful Summits of the Crimean Mountains! Crimean Via Ferrata is an ideal place to explore the sheer cliffs and manage your own fears.

Andrey Berezin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal!  The group "Kumari of October", after visiting the Everest Base Camp and Khala Patar, set off on the way back to Lukla.  And successfully got to her.

On this day, we were accompanied by beautiful weather.  After high-quality morning exercises (thanks to the guide Evgeny Fedyunin) and breakfast, we went on an excursion to the abandoned village of Gamsutl. A wonderful path led us to the ruins of a once large settlement. For lunch we moved to the modern village of Choh. Then we visited the observation point, from which the artist Aivazovsky painted the famous panorama. And a visit to the Saltinsky Waterfall. Local canyoning was quite a worthy end of the day. Thanks to our Dagestan partners, the organizers of the tour! Thanks to all the participants!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal from the group "Chronic climbers", which goes to Island Peak! Today we moved to the village of Chukung. We are gradually getting closer to our one more goal. We came, settled in, and after lunch we conducted classes on ascent and descent with the help of jumars and abseil devices. In general, the day went great.
