"7 Volcanoes" project news - Page 84

Two groups of  the 7 Summits Club, partly united, quickly went to the Pastukhov Rocks. Tomorrow is our day off. And the day after tomorrow, if the weather permits, we will go to the summit of Elbrus. The weather is still good, let's hope we're lucky.

Karina Mezova, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Today, August 14^th, a group named “Children of Ilyich” of 3 people and a guide climbed the Eastern summit of Elbrus, by North face after spending a night on the rocks of Lenz. One member (for health reasons) left the climb earlier and waited for us in the base camp. Tomorrow morning - departure to Pyatigorsk.

Valery Tebiev: We made the traverse of Elbrus from South to North in the worst weather of those days that we were on the mountain. But there was no choice. We started at 10 PM, from the Refuge. At 5 am we were on the saddle. By this time the snow has added more wind. At 7 am we were on the Western summit. At 8 45 we started the ascent to the Eastern summit and by 11 o'clock we were at the goal. At this time the wind was already very strong. Friends helped me to make a photo with a flag. This is Alexey Artobolevsky and Alexander Sosnin. In the camp at 3800 on the North side we came to 15 30.

 Thus, Valery Tebiev successfully implements his project "Four mountains during the summer". Four mountains are: Demavend (5671m), Aragats (4090m), Kazbek (5033m) and Elbrus (5642m).

 Valery began his project with Iran, from the summit of the volcano Demavend (5671 m), the highest in Iran and Asia, which is part of the project 7 Volcanoes. In mid-June, as part of the team of the 7 Summits Club, in difficult weather conditions, Valery climbed to the top of Demavend.

 The route to mount Aragats in Armenia began with a tour of the Amberd fortress and overnight on Kari lake.

  On August 2th  Valery climbed the highest, Northern, peak of Aragats mountain (4090 m).

 The day after the ascent, Valery flew to Tbilisi. He then moved to the town Kazbegi and immediately began climbing Mount Kazbek. 6 Aug Valery Tebiev successfully reached the summit!

And the project was completed at 10^th of August.

Today, the Wild Muflons group has climbed to the Western summit of Elbrus, all participants have reached the highest point. On the way to the top we met with snow and wind, and with low temperatures. But our group has successfully overcome these obstacles. Congratulations to the whole group with the ascent!

 Anastasia Dobrovolskaya at the top completed work on the painting on the top of Elbrus... This is the first picture painted on the highest mountain in Europe and Russia.
