Alexander Abramov, President of  the 7 Summits Club:

August 28^th  at 5:30 we climbed to the top of Mount Elbrus with artificial oxygen. In preparation for the expedition Everest 2018, the team of  the 7 Summits Club held a new "Oxygen Experiment". Without pre-acclimatization, two climbers  with artificial oxygen and two guides climbed for 4 hours from Pastukhov Rocks to the top.

I believe that the use of artificial oxygen can make the mountain more accessible to the common climbers. In particular, this tool can be used for quick ascents (programs Blitz), when climbers simply no time for gradual acclimatization...

Vladimir Kotlyar with a group from Brazil had an acclimatization walk to the waterfall "Girlish braids". And another international group under the leadership of Andrey Berezin climbed the slopes of mount Cheget...

The idea of a trip was born for a reason. Nikolai Wasilewski, my great-grandfather, in the body of Russian troops was in the Persian land, fulfilling the mission of a military doctor. 100 years later, I had the opportunity to be in the Persia, now Iran, to drive on the same roads, see the same city, as great-grandfather, only this time mission is completely different, the ascenst on the highest volcano of Asia. Demavend (5671м). The ascent was not so easy, altitude sickness didn't let go until the last rocky areas, a strong smell of sulfur, and at the very top of poisonous posts sulphuric steam escaping from the ground that give you extra power.

 Really happy that after 100 years of being in this region, you can feel piercing through time between generations and to dedicate the ascent to the great man Vasilevsky Nikolai Vasilyevich!

 PS: I Hope that all the missions in the near future will be only peaceful and informative.
