Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Argentina:

The night from January 31 to January 1, 2024, the team of Alex Abramov and Mingma Gelu Sherpa spent at the Nido de Condores Camp. At an altitude of 5,600 meters. Probably the highest in the world this New Year! The camp is great. We have a large tent with a kitchen-dining room. Tables, chairs, dishes. Even a large stove with a 20-liter cylinder. And this is at the height of the summit of Mount Elbrus. It's a pleasure to be there. We went down quickly.
Now we have a rest day down at the Plaza de Mulas camp, we sleep until we stop. Tomorrow, January 3rd, we have an assault exit according to the plan. We want to be on top of Aconcagua on the 5th. There is a strong wind, but on the night of the 4th to the 5th, the wind should be slightly weaker. 60-70 km per hour. Let's see what kind of Aconcagua-24 is…

The president of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Abramov, and our main Nepalese partner Mingma Sherpa, moved from Confluencia Camp to Plaza de Mulas base camp on December 29. There they were met by our company's guide Valery Myasoedov, who showed them the camp's structure.
Alexander Abramov : We have the best base camp on Aconcagua. The best conditions. See for yourself! Now we are going out for acclimatization to spend the night at the Nido de Condores camp (condor's nest). We'll shoot and send a video of the upper camp there. You will be surprised. There is a large dining room, tables, chairs under the clouds. While everyone else is cooking, squatting in small tents, our participants are drinking coffee and playing board games at tables and chairs at the height of the top of Mount Elbrus. The best camps on Aconcagua are at the 7 Summits Club.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, and our main Nepalese partner Mingma Sherpa are walking to the Aconcagua base Camp. The plans is to climb to the summit of Aconcagua in 10 days. Today they are spending the night in a comfortable Confluencia camp.

Alexander Abramov:
"Now we are in the Confluencia camp. We ate very tasty and well. We have a great dining room, great food. And there's a gorgeous sunset behind me. There are always beautiful sunsets on Aconcagua."
"At the Confluence camp, we met our friend, the Japanese guide Hiro. With a group of Japanese. We are friends."

11 participants and 4 guides of the team of the 7 Summits Club made a successful ascent to the top of Orizaba, the highest volcano in North America. Leaders: Alex Abramov and Artem Rostovtsev. Another step has been taken in the "Seven Volcanoes" program. The 7 Summits Club was a pioneer in the implementation of the program of ascents to the highest volcanoes of all continents and remains a leader in this direction.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 summits Club and the group's guide, reports from Mexico:

Today, on October 24, our team (all 10 people) ascended the highest volcano in America, Orizaba Peak. Hurray! We climbed at a good pace, all well done!

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from Mexico:

Hello everyone! The Los coyotes sin casas group moved to the Orizaba base camp today. It's super comfortable here. Everything is just perfectly organized. Great food, wine, toilets, lights and tents in growth. We have a lot of local guides and porters with us. Tomorrow we will move to the upper assault camp at 4600. And then the assault. The weather is perfect. The condition of the route is perfect, the team is smooth and strong.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from Mexico:

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.

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.

The guide of the Transformer Travel and 7 Summits Club team Alexander Abramov.

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.

Alexander Abramov is the guide of the joint team of the Transformer Travel  and the 7 Summits Club.

Saturday, October 7th. A message from Nepal: "Today the Nepalese have a day off, thanks to this, we were able to leave Kathmandu for the Rolwaling Valley at the 8th hour without traffic jams. 7.5 hours of traffic on roads of different quality (repairs are underway), and we reached the settlement of Chhyothkhyot at an altitude of 1410 m. We are staying here tonight for the night, then we will have a trek. Very comfortable in temperature (after KTM) place, with beautiful views. We met only one trekking peak expedition in this location."

  Alexey Lonchinsky (owner of Piolet D'Or) and Yuri Koshelenko (also owner of Piolet D'Or) today go to the high-altitude zone of the Himalayan Mountains to make a record ascent. The two are planning to make the first ascent to the top of the Rolwaling Kang along the technically complex Southeastern buttress.  At the moment, no one has been on this summit at all. In 2015, a Japanese expedition attempted to climb, but in the end the team ascended to the neighboring peak. The buttress is the most attractive in a technical sense, it is beautiful and logical. Alexey and Yuri received a permit and started trekking in the direction of the base camp on the Drolombao glacier.

This is the second joint ascent of Alexey and Yuri. In 2017, the two made an ascent to Fangi Peak (6538m), for which they were nominated for the Golden Ice Axe of Russia award.

The expedition is supported by the Vento Company.

A test drive of the Transglobal Car Expedition project has started. The route passes through the mountainous regions of the USA. Filming of the participant of the event from the President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov + fragments of official filming.

The 7 Summits Club returns to the North Side of Everest. In 2024, Alexander Abramov is conducting an expedition in our traditional way, from Tibet.  China has confirmed permission for expeditions on Mount Everest from the North. And the 7 Summits Club is already accepting applications for the spring of 2024! Dreams come true!

Climbing to Everest (8848m) from Tibet. International standard: 2 Sherpas + 12 oxygen cylinders for each member!

Alexander Abramov: An idiot's dream has come true. I climbed Elbrus, straight from the hotel in Cheget, all on foot. Without taxis, without cable cars, without snow trucks, without customers and even without a guide! The drop is almost 4000m, as at 8000 meters in the Himalayas. The ascent took 23 hours. Excellent training for the next ascents of the eightthousanders. The Summits of which, by the way, I have already visited 16 times (12 Everest, 3 Cho-Oyu and 1 Manaslu)

This is my 100th ascent of Elbrus. I dedicate it to the 100th anniversary of Soviet mountaineering, which is celebrated this year.

On July 27 and 28, two teams of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club ascended to the top of K2 in the number of 8 participants, 2 high-altitude operators and 10 Sherpas. There are 20 people under the leadership of Lyudmila Korobeshko. The ascent took place in bad weather, with a poor condition of the route. But we did it. The start was from the Camp-3, as the weather did not allow the route to be fully processed before the start. 

Nevertheless, the whole team of climbers reached the top.

This is a great achievement, since Mount K2 is the most difficult eight-thousandth mountain in the world. And this is the most massive ascent of K2 in the history of Russian mountaineering.

Alexander Abramov, the head of the expedition on K2, reports from Pakistan, from Camp-3:

At 18:00, the first team left the third camp to storm the summit. Right in front of them is a team of Sherpas hanging ropes. There is a lot of snow. The Sherpas failed to set up Camp 4 due to bad weather. The season on K2 is very difficult. Weekly snowfalls. Short windows of good weather. Now the weather is average lousy. It's snowing at Camp 3. Although all the surrounding peaks are open. We pray for the friends. Good luck today!

The second team is planning an assault tomorrow evening.

Camp-3

Today, the third group of our expedition went up from Camp-2 to Camp-3. In the photo, overcoming the Black Pyramid

Photo from RD Studio. The weather is good below, all the mountains are open, except K2

The expedition team of the 7 Summits Club on K2 spent the night in Camp-2 at an altitude of 6560 meters. Starting early in the morning, all participants went down to the base camp by 13 o'clock. At this point, the acclimatization rotations are completed, the team will wait for a favorable weather period to storm the summit.

Alexander Abramov: Mount K2 is exhaustingly difficult and heavy. It seems there are no direct difficulties, but the whole day the climb is at 45 degrees and the relief is mixed. Snow, rocks and ice at an altitude above 7000 m.  In the photo, Camp 1 is perched on a rocky ledge. All night there's ice flying from above, well not rocks. Stones were flying on the ice that year.

The participants of the expedition of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club on K2 went out early this morning for the next, according to the plan, final acclimatization rotation. The whole team safely ascended to Camp-1 at an altitude of 5500 meters.  Everyone feels good. The combined team of the best Sherpas continues to equip the route. Tomorrow our group goes up to Camp-2, where it will spend the night and on July 15 everyone should go down to the base camp.

Kristina Kozlova: We didn't sleep all night today. There was a strong squally wind, even the toilet was blown away. But this did not change our plans, and early in the morning the team went to the last acclimatization rotation!

From the messages of Alexander Abramov, the head of the expedition of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club on K2:

Over the weekend, we (Alex Abramov, a team of Sherpas and Pakistani high-altitude guides-porters) reached the camp Goro-2, 4250m. The weather was great. There was almost no mobile connection, so we communicate with the office by satellite. Yesterday we moved to Camp Concordia, and today we have already approached the Base Camp. And we will start building our camp soon.

President of the 7 Summits Club, head of the expedition of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club on K2 Alexander Abramov reports from Pakistan:

Today, a team of Sherpas and I came  to the Urdukas 3900m camp. There is a lot of snow in the K2 Base Camp right now, and the horses can't get through. Now all the expeditions are in Camp Goro 2. Tomorrow we will also be in Goro 2. So far only the porters are going above. We will have to spend a lot of effort to build a comfortable Base Camp. But we will manage as always!

Today is a fantastic sunset behind the Trango massif. At the end of the gorge, the towering eight-thousand-meter Broad Peak is already visible. Do you remember our expedition with Luda last year?
