The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov sends from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal! Alexey and I finally got to the Ama Dablam base camp. To be honest, we have been over walking for this time, we want to sit in one place and not move anywhere. And tomorrow will be a day of rest, a full one. Now our further plan depends on the weather forecast. We will check the weather every evening and decide when to go on the assault.

Boris Egorov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

 Interim results of the Nepalese trip. Alexey and I successfully completed acclimatization by climbing the peak of Lobuche 6100m. We left the camp as the last group and, not in a hurry, but confidently, overtook all the teams and were the first to reach the summit. We climbed in 4 hours. In some places we jumared and climbed the rocks, but for us it was a walk. And at the summit we met a crazy sunrise! Right after us, a cloud settled on the mountain and the rocks below the mountain, licked by the glacier, were lightly dusted, which added spice to the descent. And now we have already fortified ourselves with desserts and went to the shower in Pheriche (4250m). Tomorrow we go to the Ama Dablam base camp.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov sends from Nepal:

 Greetings from Lobuche! We reached the assault camp in two hours. And it turns out it's a resort! They poured sand, installed the Internet. We are resting, preparing for the night assault.

Boris Egorov, the 7 Summits Club guide, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from the Himalayas! Our sports group had an acclimatization climb today to the neighboring peak with the unpronounceable name of Nangkartshang 5073m.

There were a lot of rock bolder on the slopes, and we climbed a couple of them with pleasure. That's what active acclimatization means. And of course, the views around are something! Lobuche, Makalu, Island and much more around. And today we soared there above the clouds.

Tomorrow is the next trek to Lobuche.

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Nepal. Today Alexey and I made another trek and arrived at Dingboche 4400m. Gorgeous views all around! The mountain peaks became closer. It was a nice day. We are already starting to get used to walking and hardly get tired, so after lunch we explored the surroundings.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Hello! Today, our duo with Alexey explored the surroundings of Namche. For acclimatization purposes, we climbed 400 meters to the observation deck, where we had a good look at the goal of our journey, Mount Ama Dablam. The summit, of course, is impressive and very different in shape from everything around. And Everest and Lhotse appeared in the clouds in the distance. We watched the rotary-wing minibuses and visited the museum of mountain garbage. In Namche itself, we once again went around all the shops, in general, we had a good rest and are ready to continue our journey up tomorrow.

The 7 Summits Club guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

 The third day of the Ama Dablam expedition. Today we reached Namche. We photographed all the buffalos and donkeys we met, had lunch with a beautiful view of the gorge and, of course, checked in at the Hillary Bridge. We didn't have time to get tired, we arrived quickly. And we are still on friendly terms with the heights. And as soon as we checked in, we went for a walk around the city. It was very difficult, but we refrained from buying souvenirs. But we couldn't pass by the gear store. We bought only the bare necessities there, of course. And that's it, now we are resting. Tomorrow we have a short walk to the observation deck, we want to see Everest.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Hello everyone from the trekking route in the Himalayas! In the morning, we flew to Lukla by helicopter without any problems and went on the trek. And although we were in no hurry and stopped for tea and photo sessions, we still arrived in Phakding village in 2.5 hours. The altitude is 2600 meters, and we feel great. The service at the lodge is amazing. Clean, cozy and delicious. Now is the time to rest. Tomorrow is a longer trek with a decent gain in altitude. We are looking forward to meeting Namche Bazaar!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Alexey and I finally got to Nepal! We set our sights on the most beautiful mountain in the world - Ama Dablam. I am probably the last 7 Summits Club guide who has not been here before. And we like it here! Friendly people and decent food. Today we had a city tour of the main attractions and holy places of Kathmandu. We visited the largest and one of the oldest Buddhist stupas in the world, the central square and many temples. We watched the ceremonial burning of the dead and how children nearby jumped from a high bridge into a small river. We saw a lot, but we were a little tired of the smell of sewage. And after lunch, having rested a bit in our clean hotel, we reached the climbing wall, it is very close to us. Of course, we couldn't miss the opportunity to get our blood pumping and give our fingers a little exercise before a long break! And we had fun climbing with local Nepalese climbers on the holds. And now we are completely ready for the adventure to begin. Tomorrow, according to the plan, at dawn, we fly by helicopter to Lukla. I hope everything goes without delays.

Short news, details tomorrow. Hurray! Everyone who went out at night to climb, admired the views from the top of Kilimanjaro in the morning. The way up was not easy for us, but everyone coped. Guides Boris Egorov and Olga Rumyantseva.

 Having covered more than 20 kilometers and 2 kilometers vertically in two days, with songs and endless conversations about everything in the world, we reached the Horombo camp. The weather is incredible, not a drop of moisture! And here we are, like the gods of Olympus, soaring above the clouds and enjoying the views for kilometers ahead. In general, all participants are in good condition. Yes, there is an influence of height and for many these sensations are new, but everyone copes perfectly. Tonight is the night at a new altitude, 3700m. And tomorrow is an easy day with a short walk.

 A new adventure of the 7 Summits Club in Tanzania has begun today. And not as usual with a rest after the flight, but immediately with a full immersion in a new world. We went on safari right from the plane and it turned out to be a great idea! We took a walk in nature, watched giraffes, wild boars, baboons and colobuses very closely, and buffaloes watched us and munched menacingly. And when we finally got to the hotel, we were surrounded by Maasai, dressed up in their clothes, and we participated in their national dances. Then, as usual: the bustle of checking equipment, a briefing, gifts from the 7 Summits Club and answers to all questions. And at the end of the day, a gala dinner with a surprise: an invited jazz band set the mood especially for us. So, with good impressions and anticipation, we went to rest. Tomorrow we will have the first day of trekking to the summit of the highest mountain in Africa – Kilimanjaro.

This simply does not happen on the Giluve volcano! So that during the two days of approach and ascent we never put on raincoats. On the first day, we reached the base camp by a rapid march through the jungles and swamps. In the evening, we worked out the movement in ropes, simultaneously learning how to knit the necessary knots. And the very next day our group "Sun Shine" fully justified its name. Dressed only in longsleeves, under the sun, we admired the views from the top of the highest volcano in Australia and Oceania!

The ascent was wonderful, everyone worked smoothly, and the ropes did not slow down the progress. We quickly went down to the camp, packed up our things and ran to the bus, which took us, satisfied, to the shower and bed.

The gala evening with the presentation of medals is scheduled for the next day. But now we sincerely congratulate the team from Uzbekistan, the members in our expedition became the first representatives of their country at the summit of Giluwe! And, of course, Andrey Kravchenko, who completed the Seven Volcanoes program!  Hurrah!

Greetings from distant Papuasia! Today, our large friendly company was forced to split up, some of the participants went towards home. But the other half continued their journey through this wild island. After spending several hours on the road, jumping on bumps and placing a decent amount of dirt, we found ourselves in a heavenly place, in a lodge under Mount Willhelm. We were greeted as the most honored guests! Mistress Betty couldn't hold back her tears, we managed to become friends last year, when I spent a lot of time on her property. Here we were waiting for a great service, which you absolutely do not expect in this remote part of the world. A huge number of flowers, paths strewn with hydrangea petals, a new lodge where each participant got a personal room, delicious trout from his own farm! I don't even want to go to the mountain tomorrow. But of course we will go. First, we will have a few hours of  walk to the base camp and swimming in a clear lake.

Boris Egorov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Papua New Guinea:

Hello everyone from Papua and Wow! The largest group in my career, 19 people with me and Olya, at the top of the highest volcano in Oceania! Unforgettable! Today we rest, tomorrow details, awards and even more ancient culture of mankind. Hurray!

Boris Egorov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Argentina:

Greetings from Patagonia! It's sad to report some news, but I have to. Our weather "window" collapsed and only a "window pane" remained. It happened on the eve of the exit, when the last preparations had already been made and we were ready to go to the approach to the mount of Fitzroy. We had to make plans on the go. And instead of Fitzroy, they decided to climb a small one-day wall. Still, here, on the edge of the world, you can't lose even such small opportunities. And we did the right thing! We climbed classic route on Aguja Guillaumet. Kilometers along trails and unpleasant drifts, snow and ice under the mountain and in front of the very top, but then 15 ropes of very pleasant climbing on granite of medium difficulty. We acted safely and fairly quickly. It's nice to be a well-coordinated team and enjoy climbing. Plus one steep wall passed, a little more experience and now, as Alexey said: "Fitzroy is surrounded and he has no chance left." We will try to make the ascent next time.

Boris Egorov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, sends from Argentina:

Greetings from Patagonia! We have great news, we have climbed our summit! And this is the first mountain in Patagonia for Alexey. We had a great adventure.
The first day was a very beautiful trekking of 13 km to the base camp. Overnight in a tent on a small area between the rocks and exit at dawn. We went under the wall along the glacier and began the ascent itself. Moreover, Alexey was in the lead for the first half of the route, confidently moving along the cliff and reliably belayed. Here you need to do everything yourself, the rock is clean, not prepared, use special equipment (camalots). And we were calm for the leader, the training was not in vain.

That's just before the very top, we ran into a local rope that was slower, but there was no way to overtake them. We were roasting in the sun for 40 minutes, and did not wait for their descent.
As a result, 14 hours from camp to camp. It may not be fast, but it is safe and calm.
We decided to spend New Year's Eve down in the village and practically ran down, and the change of the year caught us 4 kilometers from the finish line on the shore of Lake Capri.
Now we are resting, waiting for the weather window for the main ascent.
Happy New Year to all!

Boris Egorov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Argentina:
Greetings from Patagonia! We climbed another multi-pitch as a training. It turned out to be a good workout, the weather was cool and windy. We climbed slowly, documented every step, and Alexey's fall was caught on camera. It looks scary, but this is a normal working moment on the route! We had four days of climbing training and are resting today.

Boris Egorov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Patagonia:
Hello everyone! Today is a sunny day in Patagonia again and we decided to entertain ourselves with bouldering (rock climbing) in a very beautiful, magical forest. We found special mattresses for belay, bought pies, cooked a mate and spent several hours on the rocks. When you are in the process of climbing like this, it may seem that you are lying on the mattress more than you are moving. But in fact, the body gets very tired of the extreme movements that have to be performed in order to make such micro-ascents. And this is a wonderful finger training and ninja climbing skills.

And, of course, the incredible views of our destination - Mount Fitzroy!

This area around the town of El Chalten is famous for its climbing stones. Of course, there is classical rock climbing here, but first of all it is a bouldering area where all local climbers come for the summer, and in February an international festival is even held.
In the evening, we continued our endless conversations about the weather and made plans. And for tomorrow we decided to look at our condition: arrange a light trekking the next day or climb the wall again. In any case, we will not be bored and we will spend our time usefully. Guides Boris Egorov and Vladimir Murzaev.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Boris Egorov transmits from Argentina:
Greetings from Argentina! Our unique program in Patagonia has finally begun. Yesterday we stopped at the small tourist village of El Chalten at the foot of the mountains, and today we have already conducted the first warm-up training on the rocks, climbed many simple routes. It is very sunny, but the famous Patagonian wind does not let us relax. We squint at the light and crunch the sand on our teeth. Tomorrow we will work out the joint-work in the multipitches.
