April 18, the team of 7 Summits Club reached the top of Amadablam (6856m). First in this season. The team members to stand on the top were: Victor Bobok, Alexander Perepelkin and Sonam Sherpa

Base camp was Pangboche. They set up Camp 1 ( 5600 ), then next day Camp 2 ( 6000m), and the last camp was supposed to be at 6300m, but they had to carry too much stuff and the way there was too difficult, so they built Camp 3 at 6250m on a very small ledge, built with the help of ice-axes on a sharp snow ridge.

The first part of this trip was acclimatization climb of Island Peak. Our team also was the first group on top of Island Peak this season. They climbed Island Peak in very bad weather conditions on April 9 together with two other expedition members – Victor Serov and Andrey Luss.

By the way, Victor Bobok will see the group off till Lukla and go to Everest BC, where Alex Abramov is waiting for him with the other Everest expedition members of 7 Summits Club, as Victor will be acting as a guide in our Everest expedition from the South. Our congratulations!!!
