"7 Volcanoes" project news - Page 96

On the first day  climbers went for acclimatization on the slopes of Mount Cheget. The group is interesting in that 15-year-old Dmitry Tertychnyi takes part in it. With a little luck, Elbrus will be his third of the "Seven Summits" after Carstenzs and Aconcagua. It will also be a crucial incentive to continue the ascents on the program -  to become the youngest Russian, and perhaps European, completed the "Seven Summits" ...

Today, the guides of the 7 Summits Club Andrei Berezin  and Vladimir Kotlyar, together with a group of "wild mountain boars" climbed the Leaprus shelter. After that they went to the snow training sessions, work with the axe and  learning to make traverse on fixed ropes. The Group is strong, fighting, fun, all the participants - not for the first time in the mountains. Now the group plans to climb both peaks of Elbrus and the descent to the North ....

Hello! This is Andrei Berezin from Elbrus. Today our group, with its full complement of five, climbed to the top of Mount Elbrus. We started at 3 am, on the top were in the 7-50. First, in the second half of the night, the weather was clear. But about six in the morning the weather began to deteriorate, cover the top by  clouds.

 But we still managed, we climbed to the top, in a not very pleasant weather. All friendly team, the five of us. We are now in Terskol, in the hotel Povorot. The team is resting after a hard working day.

 To be continued tomorrow. Best regards! Andrey Berezin.

Hello! Andrei Berezin, a guide of Seven Summits, from Elbrus. Today we went to the Pastukhov Rocks. All did  it well, even excellent. In the morning we were pleased with sunny, clear weather. But by the time we reached the rock Pastukhov, the wind was blowing, wet snow started. On the rocks we sat, drank tea.

And then we went down already by the blizzard. Now there is sleet, somewhere near rumbling thunder and lightning hit. Tomorrow we have a day of rest. The Day After Tomorrow – climb Elbrus. Bye! Andrey Berezin.

They were a group of 5-people, including a child of 13 years, successfully climbed the highest peak in Africa. It was not easy, but they have coped! Congratulations guys with their first summit and wish continued climbing.

 Comments and farewell climbers followed by Philippe Yalovega.

1. Good equipment is very important! We need good equipment with membrane that protects you from wind, dust and moisture.

2. Thin puff (the bottom layer under the membrane) for the assault enough.

3. Good hiking boot that kept the ankle, it is necessary to Throughout the route (with the lowest camps).

4. Sleeping need really good (at -15-20 in comfort)! This is veryimportant!

5. We must always listen to the recommendations of guides: drink more water, go slowly, etc ..

6. It makes sense to go after climbing to a glacier to do beautiful pictures.

7. It is important to go to the assault and day transitions during that meet the sunrise is on the edge of the crater, and not on the slopes, and to have time to enjoy the surrounding views in daylight.

8. The seven-day program climbing (with an extra day acclimatization) - is the salvation! Without much experience considered short program makes no sense !!!

Comments from 7 Summits Club:

"We always pay attention to the importance of the equipment and importance

implement the recommendations of the guides, but the final understanding, as a rule,

It occurs only on the route. Preparation is very important. "

"It is important to choose the ascent route on Kilimanjaro properly taking into account the experience of the participants of the mountain! It affects the chances of a successful ascent, the health of participants and the general impression of the trip."
