Our old friend Boris Egorov returned to the team of coaches of the 7 Summits Club. As the record-holder of Russia, and maybe Europe's, speed climbing on El Capitan's Nose route, he joined the training of the team preparing for Yosemite climbing.

Boris Egorov: Last weekend we held the second cycle of training before climbing on El Capitan.

Climbing technique, high-speed races on the wall, practicing in belay skills and even a little exercise with ice tools. The guys are training hard for the ascent.

Just 2 weeks ago, we showed different ways to climb up the rope, and last weekend they, with ease, climbed 100 meters, dragging the load!

Yesterday, 30 January 2018, another training session was held on the climbing wall DDS. The group was divided again into 2 parts: advanced students and beginners. Beginners learn to belay and properly placed feet, and more advanced participants mastered climbing with a rope belay and coached speed climbing. 

Our open training was a great success. Almost the whole office of the Club came to the climbing wall.

We remind that the training takes place without exception, every Tuesday and Wednesday. You can join us at any stage! You are welcome!

Training on the climbing wall. Today, all participants in the next lesson climbing has outdone themselves. Someone has mastered a new route, someone reached for his next hook, and someone has learned to walk freely "from the hip" on a vertical wall. Thanks to our coach Alexander Lastochkin!
