"7 Summits + 2 Poles" project news

Hi, 7 Summits Club! We continue our diary of the ascent of Mount Aconcagua. Today is our day of rest and on this occasion we decided to prepare chicken soup by ourself.  We asked to the dining room to the local guys. They allocated us products allocated cooking place.

…

We rest slowly, we come off. Rest day - we need to recover. I'm gonna go ask how our group is doing. Now I am trying to find them…

 Tomorrow we plan to reach Nido de Condores, a high-rise camp at 5,400.  With overnight already.

Irina Zisman with teams of  the 7 Summits Club raises the flag of the beauty contest "Beauty of Universe" on the highest peaks of the continents.

Olga Rumyantseva, a representative of the 7 Summits Club, guide and manager of our company:

This Sunday our women's team will gather in Reykjavik, from where we will go on a small ski trip.

This will be the last training campaign before the expedition to the North pole in April.

We will  ski daily 15-30 kilometers through the lava fields, learn to overcome torosy, ice-hole, quickly break camp and pack it in extreme weather conditions and so on... In General, we will work out everything we need during the expedition in the Arctic and check the equipment.

I'll finally meet the team. ))

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."

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!

 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....
