Today in the Russian camp on Aconcagua it was a rest day. And it was a day of the strongest wind. The wind reached a speed of 105 km per hour. And by the end of the day, snow began to fall. And we played cards all day. Tomorrow the forecast is better and we will try to do an acclimatization rotation on Nido De Condores ...

Today on Aconcagua  there was a day of acclimatization, rotation to Canada camp 5000m. The whole team, 10 people, climbed at a good pace: some in 3 hours, some in 4 hours. Tomorrow is a day of rest and the forecast promises a hurricane. Therefore, our two Sherpas went to 5600 and 6000 and strengthened the fastening of our tents. Tomorrow we decided to make a Sherpa Party. Fortunately, seven Sherpas are working in Aconcagua in different teams. And we are also waiting for arrival of Nims (Nirmal Purja) with his team.

Alex Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club and leader of the group:

Tomorrow at 11 o’clock in the morning we go on a climb. In order to stand on  the top of Aconcagua in 2 days.

Alex Abramov from Argentina: 

 Today there was a day of rest at Aconcagua Base Camp on the Plaza de Mulas. The team members washed, collected equipment, “cleaning feathers”. By chance today, the owner of the company, Kari Kobler, came into the camp. We work side by side on Everest base camp around for 20 years.

 I also met Hiro (Hiroyuki Kuraoka). He is the best Japanese guide. We worked a lot alongside him on all Seven summits. Hiro is on the right in the photo…

 And also, yesterday Czech skyrunner Martin Zhor set a new world record. He ran to the summit of Aconcagua from the Plaza de Mulas (4200 m) to the top in 3 hours 38 minutes 17 seconds. Moreover, he says that he kept a heart rate of 140 beats per minute. And only at the top of the pulse rose to 160. Probably, from the happiness that he became the owner of a world record.

Alex Abramov from Argentina: 

Yesterday, the group of the 7 Summits Club spent a night at Nido De Condores, at 5600m for acclimatization. Guides and sherpas brought all things in advance. They set up a large tent - a kitchen-dining room, other tents, brought public sleeping bags and rugs. Members brought only crampons and clothes. The night was fun. In the morning, the group went down, but four of the five guides went up to the Cholera camp at an altitude of 6000m. And they also set up there a kitchen-dining tents, 7 tents for members and guides, sleeping bags, rugs and food were also raised. Everything is ready for the ascent от Aconcagua, which according to the plan should take place on the night of December 30-31.

The 7 Summits Club team climbed into the Nido de Condores camp on the slopes of Aconcagua. Here, at an altitude of 5500 meters, the group will spend one night with the aim of acclimatization and will go down to the base camp.

Alex Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club:

 The village library is working! Today the team has a day of rest. We sorted out our things. Today Volodya Kotlyar and two Sherpas left for Nido de Condores. Tomorrow we get out with things there, on Nido. There we spend a night and go down. Today I met famous guides, my old friends. This is Hiro from Japan, who was 9 times on Everest. And Lito is an Argentinean guide who has been on Aconcagua 67 times.

Today we went as a team to the Camp Canada 4,900 m. Everyone liked it. Although we are all tired, of course. But today is Christmas! And tomorrow is a day of rest! Hurrah! Everyone feels great!

 We live very well. There is a separate club tent in our Russian camp of the 7 Summits Club. We, all members and guides, sleep by one person in a tent. We have great food. Free, unlimited Wi-fi, shower and charging ... with electricity.

 And what’s very important: we all have large double tents. Like on Everest. And in each tent there are gas heaters.

 Also, for every dinner we give out one bottle of Argentinean red wine for 4 people. Therefore, after dinner, we sit in the warmth. We play guitar and cards.

 We pulled upstairs into the upper camps of Nido De Condores and Cholera, large dining tents. 10 sleeping tents, 40 sleeping bags, 40 rugs, food and gas. We have 5 guides for the first group of 11 members: three Russians and two Nepalese Sherpas.

 We are waiting for the second group on December 28, with which four guides will also work.
