Hello! It is a guide of  the 7 summits Club in the Elbrus region Andrey Berezin. Today we did an acclimatization ascent to the Pastukhov Rocks. Weather allowed us to do it. We came back all tanned and happy.

Hello! Guide 7 summits Club in the Elbrus region Andrey Berezin reports:  Today, our international team made acclimatization on the slopes of Mount Cheget. The weather decided to test our strength. In the morning there was continuous rain, but it didn't stop us from hiking tour.

Hello! Here is a guide of the 7 summits Club in the Elbrus region, Andrey Berezin. Today, our group climbed to the top of Mount Elbrus in the style Hard & Strong. Today's weather was severe. Strong wind gusts to 50 km / h and large enough blown snow on the climb from the Saddle to the Top made our way more difficult than we wanted... But we did it and climbed to the top from the Pastukhov Rocks, in 5 hours 50 minutes.

And was the first who revealed the great views from the summit of Elbrus!

After several days of absolutely unsuitable weather, today everyone has a chance to reach the top. So two of our group climbed almost in parallel. Visibility was good, however the wind was strong and it was very cold. In a small group of Andrei Berezin, all three participants reached the summit. In a large group of Alexander Dorozhkov  three participants visited the highest point, and four were limited to the Saddle...

Here is Alexander Dorozhkov, a guide of the 7 summits Club. Our team made an acclimatization trip to the waterfall Girlish braids. All members are cheerful and  energetic even climbed under the waterfall itself )). Best regards!

Hello! Here it is the main guide of  the 7 summits Club in the Elbrus region Andrey Berezin. So we continue season. Yesterday I met a new group. And today we visited the waterfall Girlish braids...

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov sent photos and a video about the fixing of ropes on the section above the Saddle to the West Summit. In the absence of ropes in this place  there were accidents, often leading to fatal consequences. So they made a step towards a safer season.

June 8^th the 7 Summits Club 7 held another lecture along the program of its Mountaineering School. This time the focus was on the highest peak in Africa, the legendary Kilimanjaro. Our small room was full and listened with great attention to our lecturers:  manager of our company Anastasia Kuznetsova and one of the summiters on this mountain, a member of the Writers' Union Valery Lavrus

See the video of the lecture "Kilimanjaro: A pledge of successful ascent, or whatever you wanted, but were afraid to ask" –

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:

Today our group climbed to Damavand. For half the participants, this was the first experience of climbing such high mountains. But, despite this, we have climbed in such rapid march. As quickly as I had not ascended to Demavent, with any other group. And still Vitaly Dubinin had a birthday today. This is how originally he decided to celebrate it.

Andrey Berezin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:

Fast and Light. We left on a ratrack at one o'clock in the night, at the top of Elbrus  we were at 5:27, at the shelter at 8:30. Now we go down the cable car to Azau, further - hotel and shower.

It was the first our group in summer...

Having made incredible efforts, we have climbed from Tehran to a hut at the foot of Mount Tuchal. Tomorrow we will go for a climb.

Hello!  Here is the main guide of the 7 summits Club in the Elbrus region Andrey Berezin. Well, the summer season of climbing Elbrus began. Sunny weather and a gentle breeze give the opportunity to enjoy a pleasant journey to the waterfall Girlish braids. Today, we go there...

Yesterday our expedition on Damavand started. The whole group gathered in Tehran and began to get acquainted with the country, and at the same time to acclimatize. Today we're going to our first ascent on the mountain – on Mount Tuchal.

Where we made acclimatization outing to the altitude of 4200, which was carried out snow training. Weather in output current was changed several times from sunny to severe, with snowfalls...

The 7 Summits Club  organizes every year  climbing programs to the highest volcano of the planet Ojos del Salado. An expedition in January 2017 did not promise to become something out of the ordinary, but nevertheless, for its participants it was unexpectedly extreme. But at the same time, it was very fun and very athletic. The group could not reach the top, but received a lot of emotions and impressions .... Photos of Igor and Natalia Smirnov’s

 The group from Volgograd 11 people, including children, climbed to the highest peak of Africa in February 2017. They traveled on a seven-day version of the Machame route. And although it was not easy, the impressions were the most vivid and positive. This is a note of their leader Stanislav Vinnikov.

ALL PHOTOS CAN BE WATCH HERE

So our journey began. In a light T-shirt, in the middle of lush greenery

This effect is called "shyness of crowns," when trees, despite the thickness of the forest, do not touch the crowns, forming mysterious drawings on the foliage.

There are even palm trees (or rather, dendrikestones) in the form of a heart. It is immediately evident that Kilimanjaro loves us

Conclusions. I am often asked "why?". Why are you going to the mountains?

Continuation of travel around Tanzania, safari, visiting the Maasai.

 Mom - they are in Africa, Mom!

Artem Rostovtsev, the 7 Summits Club guide: 28 February, Mexico Orizaba. As was laid on February 28th, we had to say goodbye the winter by the best way. We climbed the volcano Orizaba. While in Moscow, it was slightly warm and slushy, it was cold at the top of Orizaba, windy and around the ice-snow, so it was all for real things. At midnight we got up, went out together, after 4 hours were at the beginning of the glacier. We changed boots, dressed for a meeting with a summit,  tied with a rope, and went up, greet the dawn. The path to the summit took 3.5 hours. A piglet on top was blown by a strong wind, so that to repeat  photo you should go a little bit down and warmed hands. We went down slowly, as best they could, in about four hours.

SO,  Winter, Goodbye!

The result: at the top of Orizaba there were 4 people from the team. For the rest -  an altitude 5100 meters (the beginning of the glacier), it was a real top. By Instrument: 12 hour round trip, 8 km round trip,  of 1609 meters up and down, 29 000 steps.

Artem Rostovtsev, the 7 Summits Club guide: All participants and the guides climbed the volcano La Malinche (4500m) After spending  night at 2300m, all handled "perfectly" with numerous jumps over the rocks before the summit. We watched from the top at Mount Orizaba away, today we start to  go to this mountain.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, a guide and director of the 7 Summits Club: Today the group Pili-Pili Manga (translated from Swahili means "black pepper") leaves home. Yesterday our Tanzanian friends prepared a romantic farewell breakfast for us and in the Millennium camp  they gave us a farewell concert. We were not in debt, answering them by Russian folk dancing. All were pleased with each other. Today we take off for home.

Artem Rostovtsev, a guide of the 7 Summits Club: Mexico. Orizaba. Yesterday there was the first full day of our Mexican expedition. The main goal - Orizaba. We have begun to acclimate, not leaving civilization. Yesterday we spent for visiting pyramids of Teotihuacan, we counted two ascents on two pyramids. We also visited the Basilica of the Virgin of Guadalupe, as well as the historic center of Mexico City. And, of course, we celebrated the 23th of February! Today we drive towards our main goal, by the way there will be more excursions. Tomorrow we plan to climb the volcano of La Malinche (4500m) ...
