Everest(8848) - Page 5

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club: the vanguard of the expedition of the 7 Summits Club on Everest has arrived in the capital of Tibet, Lhasa. The height is already being felt, 3600 m))).  We settled in a very chic hotel! Thanks the captain!

The construction of the base camp continues. Now Sherpas equip public tents, among which as a  novelty will be a bar. Meanwhile, the members begin to gather in Kathmandu. As well as guides…

Alex Abramov from Nepal:

Equipment sets. Lhakpa Sherpa - 8 times on Everest goes with us. View to BC from the moraine...

All the Sherpas of the 7 Summits Club came in the base camp of Mount Everest 2018. We see a lot of cargo and trucks. Here we could also see the manager of the base camp and the future bartender Lena Abramova.

Construction of the camp for the expedition  Everest 2018 of the 7 Summits Club continues...

On the fifth day, the Sherpas started assembling of frame tents for clients.

Today the team of Sherpas of the 7 Summits Club came to Everest Base camp. We were the first this season.  Now the team will have a big job to make the best ever base camp.  Our expedition will be the largest and the camps - the most comfortable.

A whole army of our Sherpas, local guides, high-altitude porter, cooks and their assistants received new sets of clothes made by Red Fox. It is a proper form for working in severe high altitude conditions. Judging by their faces, the new things suited to taste. Beautiful clothes oblige to good work, so we believe.

 Alexander Abramov, President of Club 7 Vershin, leader of the expedition to Everest:

 This year we are making a more comfortable base camp – Luxury Camp, as we call it. We deliver and put new spacious tents with beds, heaters and a work table. Also, we are waiting for a new level of our cuisine, because our beloved Chef from Antarctica Patricio has already come to us. The whole expedition is ready. This year we have 20 participants, 7 guides and 6 cooks. And 35 Sherpas. We have the largest expedition on Everest in 2018.

The experience of our 14 expeditions to Everest suggests the following: conditions of rest during acclimatization are essential for success. The climber should restore his strength as much as possible, should not get sick, should keep his high moral spirit and desire to go to the end. To do this, we are building a comfortable base camp, for this purpose we engaged in the preparation of cooks, for this all entertainments, the entire organization of leisure. There is no worse, when climbers after  hard exits huddle in cramped tents, eating monotonous canned food and not knowing what to do in days of rest.

 Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, the expedition leader on Everest:

I have just returned from Nepal, where I had gone to check the readiness of our expedition Everest 2018. This year we are doing more comfortable base camp - Luxury camp, as we call it. We deliver new spacious tents with beds, heaters and a desk. We are also waiting to reach a new level of our cuisine, because our favorite chef from Antarctica Patricio came to help us. The whole expedition is ready. This year we have 20 participants, 7 guides and 6 cooks. And 35 Sherpas as high-altitude guides and porters. It is the largest expedition on Mount Everest in 2018.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, the leader of the expedition on Everest:

2 days ago I arrived in Nepal to check the readiness of our expedition "Everest 2018". This year we do a Luxury camp: tents with beds, heaters etc… Also our favorite chef from Antarctica Patricio flew in. The whole expedition is ready. This year we have 20 participants, 7 guides and 6  cooks. And 35 Sherpas. It is the largest expedition to Mount Everest in 2018.

Dо you want to know what other surprises have prepared tireless Alex Abramov for the upcoming expedition to Everest this spring? See below for sensational news!

Soon we are going to farewell an expedition of 7 Summits Club on Everest. We wish them good luck, that is, weather and health. And good service we must provide…

Lyudmila Korobeshko tells:

When Alex began bringing Sherpas to Russia 10 years ago to Elbrus for the purpose of teaching Russian language and mentality, it was unusual.

When Alex began to bring Sherpas cooks to Moscow to teach Russian and Ukrainian culinary delights - t was surprising, but also interesting and understandable.

After all the bortsch and cutlets in the base camp of Everest please everyone.

But when Alex said that he had invited a professional chef to his expedition this year... and  from Chile!!!, I ... hardly surprised ... after all these beds in camps, bar tents, yoga studios, Jacuzzi and masseuses...

By the way, those who were in Antarctica should remember Patricio. This cheerful cook, swearing in Russian.

Colorful Chilean Patricio. He has been working for many seasons in Antarctica at the Union Glacier and worked for several seasons on Russian cruise liners, where he learned expressive Russian.

In General, it should be a lot of fun and very tasty!

Less than a month remains before the departure on Everest of the team of  the 7 Summits Club under the leadership of Alexander Abramov. It will be our 15th expedition, and it will be the largest in terms of quantity, almost 40 people.  But equally important are changes in quality of service. Experience shows that the percentage of successful ascents in expeditions directly depends on the conditions in which the participants are placed, how comfortable is their rest, on the quality of food and service in general.

 Therefore, from year to year our base camp is becoming more and  more comfortable, we come up with new types of affordable services, new forms of leisure, trying to improve communication and so on. This year, for the first time in the history of Everest base camps, the 7 Summits Club will provide members of our expedition with individual tents equipped with full beds, lighting and a separate room with a work desk. In addition, we will again improve our places of social pastime, we will have a full bar, sauna and massage salon…

Listen for yourself head (for the 16th time) Everest expedition Alexander Abramov (in Russian):

Everest "luxury camp»

Luxury camp

In the base camp we will have large heated tents, at the rate of one per person. In the first room there will be a table, a chair, lighting, a charge for gadgets - you can sit and work on a computer. In the second room - a bedroom, which is an elongated (210 cm) bed with a 12 cm mattress, and a wardrobe for storing personal belongings. Floors are covered with carpets, and oil heaters will contribute to a comfortable rest.

Also on the territory of the camp will be installed "pub" - a huge 12-meter tent with a pool table, poufs and drinks.

According to comments, some climbers dream of Everest about massage in the base camp. Well - the impossible – is possible! This year the team of the 7 Summits Club  will organize a small salon of sports massage!

On March 2, Alexander Abramov and Lyudmila Korobeshko showed themselves to the St. Petersburg audience. At the invitation of our friends from the company "Red Fox" they performed in the store Planet Sport. The lecture was originally supposed to be dedicated to the speed record set by team Alpari, headed by Lyudmila Korobeshko in 2012. But Alexander Abramov at the last moment introduced the topic adjustments. "Seven Summits in seven weeks. The impossible is possible" - at first I thought that it was some kind of joke. But listen for yourself (in Russian):

The Federation of Mountaineering of Russia on December 2 held an annual gala evening devoted to summing up the results of the year. On it the president of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov presented memorable signs "Summiter of  Everest" to the climbers who have climbed the highest point of the World in 2017 ...

Alexander Abramov: Congratulations Zhenya with the end of the program "Seven summits"! And the team are leaving Nepal ...

Alex Abramov, a leader of the Everest expedition:

Today, finally, we got to Lhasa and settled in the cool Intercontinental hotel. We need to give people a rest from the expedition life, it was difficult to live under field conditions for 40 days. A little about outcomes. We conducted an expedition in 39 days. This is probably the shortest of the Everest expedition for 10 years. The experiment was a success and showed that it is possible. Just do not economize , let more oxygen.

After all, all problems on the high altitude are from the lack of oxygen.

In our expedition there was records and remarkable achievements. And some of them we pointed out today.

Janusz Kochanski – world record of 126 days on all 7 summits.

Eugene Kravt successfully completed the 7 summits project.

Aznaur Akaev – 3rd Balkar climber who became a summiter of Everest.

Valery Tebiev – the first since 1995 Ossetian mountaineer who climbed Mount Everest.

Daniil Briman - made the ascent in sporty style.

Andrei Starikovsky, the first Russian American Professor on Everest.

Other heroes: world women record holder Lhakpa Sherpa, Oleg Savchenko and Alexander Sidyakin have already left home.

Sergei Larin – 6th time on the summit of Everest.

Alexander Abramov – 8 times – a new record for Russia and the CIS.
