Mikhail Nitishinsky from Tanzania: "On February 3th at 6: 16 AM we climbed up to Uhuru peak. Hurray!

The day before that, I managed to scatter, with a temperature of 38.5, hunk and a complete lack of appetite. But somehow I was able to mobilize myself and... And it worked."

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club presented our medals to the members of the Aconcagua team. The group, which called itself  "How to catch a raccoon", climbed to the highest peak in South America on January 29.

Congratulations!

New heights, new summits dear friends!

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club: the group of "How to catch a raccoon" successfully climbed Mount Aconcagua! All members of the group and the guides reached the summit.

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, from the summit of Aconcagua: Aloha, Seven Summits! ....  The team "How to catch a raccoon" ... stands on the summit of Aconcagua! Further – emotions…

 Listen to the voice mail:

Aloha, everyone! This is Vladimir Kotlyar, Valeriy Myasoedov and the "How to catch a raccoon".  Raccoon we haven't caught, but successfully returned to Nido de Condores, 5500. Here we live and spend a night. Now we are preparing dinner, before that, we had a big lunch. Overall, the resort really is. But it is cold at this resort, Argentina. Deceive us. Tomorrow we will go to Colera, and far -  as God wills. Keep your fingers cross for us. Wish us luck!

Listen to the voice mail:

Eugene Staroselsky, the head of the group: Good day! Everything is fine. 30 minutes ago we got back to the hotel. 24 Jan at 7.40 the whole team was on the top…

On 24 January a group of Dmitry Ermakov in full  climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro on the Machame route. Congratulations!

Down the valley they sent several pictures and a beautiful video…

 Thank you to the participants of the first our big team this year on Kilimanjaro! After return home they sent us a huge number of photos. Many of the photos  are similar to the ones we had, but there are  lots original. In addition, what is unique – that is  the people, happy faces of the people. That is also the reward for us. We've posted the full set of photos on our website. And in this report we publish some of them - not in high resolution....

Oleg Pimenovs ran to the summit of Kilimanjaro in front of a local guide, for 5.30, in a light "Zanzibar" gear. He even went to Zanzibar. But don't miss the opportunity to escape to the highest peak of Africa.

Congratulations!

 CONGRATULATIONS AND WISH THEM FURTHER ACHIEVEMENTS!

Hello! Vladimir Kotlyar and group "How to catch a raccoon". Finally there is Internet, and we can share photos. We successfully made an acclimatization walking. We are now living in Plaza de Mulas tomorrow we go up and I will not call only via satellite. So today I throw a lot of pictures, sorry!

Dmitry Ermakov, a guide of 7 summits Club in Tanzania: Seven summits, Hello! Dmitry Ermakov, Kilimanjaro. Today begins a new proram for a group on the Machame route, three persons. Tomorrow morning we start up. It's all good. The team arrived  successful. The weather is beautiful. Bye!

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:

We got the permits and went into the mountains. We start moving from Penitentes to the foot of Aconcagua!

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:  So, the adventure begins! Today our season on Aconcagua began. I and Valery checked our equipment, then we went to the store to purchase food supplies. And our first member Irina Zisman (who arrived straight from Antarctica) actively helped us. In the evening there was no doubt that we need to raise a glass to a successful first day. Tomorrow we will meet the rest of the members of the expedition to the highest point in South America!

Artem Rostovtsev from South America:

 Our expeditions on Vinson ended for this season.  And carrier pigeon finally delivers pictures from Antarctica.

Below are some of them

Viktor Ershov, guide of  the 7 Summits Club:

Hello Everyone! Ascent of Aconcagua was successful, but not to the top. We reached the height of 6456м by GPS, just above the hut of Independence. There we were at 14.30, then did not go far. Anna felt bad and impending storm, which later happened. So we turned down. Overall, I think for Anne it is a very cool achievement, to climb to the height of Mera Peak. She was pleased, now she wants to train hard and to come back to Aconcagua next year with 7 Summits! The weather was such as it should be for Christmas and New Year - fell more than a meter of snow for a few days, I was tired of trail. The local guides are in shock, for a long time such was not. And cold. But not very windy. In general,  we tired and very pleased with the result.

And now – for wine and steaks!!

We arrived in Papua for climbing the mount of Pyramid Carstensz, hiking  through the jungle.... But because of a rebellion of the Papuans (extortion on the road.... in the truest sense of the word)) we returned to Timika. The helicopter took us to the base camp and WITHOUT acclimatization for 4:10 went up/came down from the mountain! A couple of free days, we used to visit Wamena to naked tribes.

A message from Victor Ershov from Aconcagua:

Hello! We spent two not the sweetest nights in the camp Nido de Condores and rose to acclimatize to camp Berlin at almost 6000m. Cold, windy, snowy... If you add mountain sickness with headache and nausea - this is about so we did! But now we have descended to the base camp, Plaza de Mulas, it's hot here and comfortable! A couple of nights, and then - only to the top!

Alexander Abramov: Please find here photos of my last group on Vinson. And a video of the first landing of the Falcon at Union Glacier...
