Bon Dias! The team "Argentina one love" started from the city of Mendoza to the foot of Aconcagua. Now we are in a glamping of the Penitentes, which is located near the entrance to the Aconcagua National Park. Today we have prepared the luggage to be sent to the Plaza de Mulas and Confluencia. Tomorrow we start the walking part of the program: from the beginning of the park to Confluencia, where we will spend a couple of days for acclimatization.  The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Viktor Volodin.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone, from the slopes of Kilimanjaro! Yesterday evening's briefing on the route went great! The 7 Summits Club group is still thinking about the name. Now the last gatherings and departure to the beginning of the route - Gate Machame Route. According to the plan today, the walk through the jungle, the height difference from 1800m to 3000m.  Super-guides Sergey Avtomonov and Evgeny Fedyunin were with you.

Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Chile:

January 3. All salute from Chile!  Some more news from Abramov's group. This morning another member of the expedition arrived. She is a well-known blogger and an aspiring mountaineer (participant of a recent expedition to Manaslu). At noon, a cavalcade of five SUVs set off from the Chilean resort town of Baia Ingles to the Atacama Desert to meet adventures! The group managed to make friends during yesterday's day spent tasting Chilean delicacies and wines.

Abramov, Dorojukov, Bogomolov and two places in turn for those who want to (with good driving experience) set off today behind the wheel of SUVs. Nikita Slotin meets two more participants tomorrow and they immediately go to catch up with their group.

And I'm meeting my participants tomorrow. Our departure to Atacama is scheduled for January 6th.

 P.S. - what will happen to the connection in Atacama is still unclear. There is no connection in the desert, but Abramov bought some Starlink from Elon Musk. Let's see if it will work in Atacama....

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Artem Rostovtsev reports from Antarctica:

Greetings from the Vinson Massif Assault Camp.  We came down here after conquering the peak. We climbed to the top, as planned, slowly, admiring the beauty. The weather allowed it to be done. All team members have reached the highest point of Antarctica. We stayed there for more than an hour, took pictures, even took a photo topless. Tomorrow we are all going down to the base camp and we will wait for the weather to fly back to the Union Glacier. Huge greetings from the freshly baked climbers on the Vinson Massif!

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

Buenos Dias, seniors and senoritas!  Our group (still untitled) in full force gathered today in the city of Mendoza - the center of winemaking and mountaineering in Argentina. We solved some of the organizational issues, the rest were postponed until tomorrow, because of the time frame. Today our team is inclined to discuss the main goal of our trip – climbing Aconcagua. Next, we solve the technical issues. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Viktor Volodin.

Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Chile:

Salute to all from Chile! Today, a large group led by Alexander Abramov and supported by Alexander Dorojukov and Nikita Slotin finally arrived in Atacama and gathered at the festive table. Alex Abramov solemnly announced the official start of the expedition. Then the legendary Russian climber Sergey Bogomolov took the floor. He climbed 13 out of 14 eight-thousand meters and in the summer of 2023 he plans to climb K2 as part of the team of the 7 Summits Club, which he left to complete the project of 14 eight-thousand meters.

Sergey told many interesting stories from his rich mountaineering life - about joint ascents with Anatoly Bukreev, about Bashkirov's tragic death on Lhotse, about several of his attempts on K2 from different sides. Everyone listened with their mouths open. As a result, we decided that we would help Sergey Bogomolov to publish a book about his ascents.

Today we devoted the day to protein saturation - we ate live scallops with fried octopus.  And tomorrow - departure to Atacama. Everyone is looking forward to it!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Argentina:

Hello! Today our super group Mañana, got a well-deserved rest. We spent the day very relaxed: making plans for future ascents, preparing for tomorrow's exit to the Nido de Condores (5500m). We have an overnight stay there, followed by a radial rotation to the Colera assault camp (6000m). So we won't be in touch for a day. Bye everyone!

Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Chile:

Saludos desde Chile!  Greetings to all from Chile from the super-guides of the 7 Summits Club! Since January 1, a team of guides has gathered here in the area of the Atacama Desert to prepare for the season of expeditions to Ojos del Salado. For two days our team made purchases, checked equipment, prepared jeeps. Today, the first large group arrives in Copiapo in the morning. We're going to meet her. The adventure begins!

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

 Hello, from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today, our super group Mañana made rotation to a place called Plaza Canada (5000m).

Super news from Tanzania! Our team led by guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Sergey Avtomonov in full force on New Year's Eve climbed the highest peak in Africa - Kilimanjaro volcano (5895 m). Together with our team, dozens of climbers from different countries of the world met the New Year 2023 on the mountain. For someone it was the first peak, for someone not the first, but memorable for a long time.  We are waiting for details and photos. Happy New Year to everyone!

News from Ecuador. The team of the 7 Summits Club "Four Brave" ascended the Chimborazo volcano (6310 m) on New Year's Eve. Two guys were standing on the main peak of Chimborazo. One member of the team stood on a small peak with a beautiful name Ventimiglia. And another participant reached the high-altitude camp at 5,300 m and decided not to go further due to poor health. Apparently the mountain does not want to part with her, and wants her to come back!  Happy New Year to all!

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

Happy New Year!!! Today, on the first day of the new year, we have a day of rest. But the Mañana team is not used to sitting idle. Today we made a small acclimatization rotation, reached an altitude of 4500m, saw our camp from above. The weather is great, the sun, snow, a slight coolness in the air, a fighting spirit. See you in the mountains!!!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Artem Rostovtsev from Antarctica:

To everyone who hears us, we warmly congratulate you on the New Year from the coldest continent! Happiness to you! We have everything according to plan. We walked halfway to the High camp. We worked up acclimatization and confidence moving along the fixed ropes. And then there was the New Year. From the Urals to New York. We didn't miss a single time zone, we remember everyone. Tomorrow is a well-deserved rest. And then we will go up to our goal – the summit of the Vinson Massif. Happy New Year! Artem Rostovtsev and the team.

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

New Year greetings, from the slopes of Aconcagua!  Today our Mañana group is the third day on the route. We arrived at the base camp Plaza de Mulas (4300m.) Until today, Aconcagua seemed to me to be a very windy, dusty and hot mountain.  But today, on New Year's Eve, we had snow along the route, and in the base camp we were greeted by real winter. The group coped with the task perfectly. Tomorrow in the New Year we will have a day of rest. Special thanks to our Valerio, for the excellent tea that warmed us up and cheered us up. Happy New Year to everyone!!!  Happiness, success, health and a peaceful sky in the New Year!!! See you in the mountains!

Greetings from Peru from Alex Abramov and Lyudmila Korobeshko! And happy New Year!

Yesterday we climbed the summit of the Chachani volcano (6057m). We came to the Base Camp at 4900 in the midst of a snowstorm. But by 2 a.m. the snowfall stopped. At 3.40 we went out under the light of the southern constellations to storm and by 8 a.m. we climbed to the top of Chachani. The ascent is simple, it goes without ropes and without crampons. Similar to Ojos, but simpler. The peaks offer a view of the beautiful Chachani crater and the neighboring peaks – El Misti is very close and the active volcanoes Ampato and Sabankaya in the distance.

At noon we had already fed the foxes, looked at the herds of vikunias and flocks of wild mountain rabbits, and two hours later we rested in the spa of the hotel in Arequipa. So, a great route through Peru is ready. We're planning a group in May. Happy New Year to everyone once again! Peace, happiness and new adventures to all!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Artem Rostovtsev from Antarctica: Today, as planned, we moved to Low Camp.  At a good pace. The weather is amazing. Tomorrow we will go out on the Ropes, work up acclimatization and refresh the ability to move on fixed ropes. And then the New Year, with which congratulations to everyone! We will note that we will rest on January 1 (you can't work on a day off) and go to the assault camp. Happy New Year to everyone!

 The outgoing year 2022 has become a difficult test of strength for all of us. We can say that the 7 Summits Club withstood it with honor. Despite the objective difficulties, we have implemented all the planned plans. They did not give up our positions.

And we look to the future with optimism.

We will be cheerful, hardworking, we will be noble and patient, we will be freedom-loving and faithful, we will be beautiful and strong, kind and caring!

Let's be tireless in our desire to travel, in our desire to see the world, to leave our mark on all continents of our beautiful planet! We believe in ourselves!

Friends, stay with us! We love and appreciate you! We are of the same blood!

Join our new Everest and K2 expeditions!
