Abramov Alex

On November 21 at 13:00 local time, the team "7 volcanoes in 77 days" (Alex Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh) climbed to the top of the Giluwe volcano, the highest on the Australian continent. Alex Abramov reports:

We climbed from the road without an overnight stay in 8 hours. We started at 5 am and reached the top at 1 PM. Now we are going down and flying home tomorrow morning.

There is a fifth volcano in the project! Five volcanoes on five continents in 29 days. Ahead is the most difficult and most remote object: Ojos del Salado and Sidley. In the meantime, we can and should rest.

The President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Papua New Guinea:

 Today another adventure happened. We started the journey with porters through the jungle. Crawling under another tree, Ilya bumped his eye into an umbrella. And he immediately fell to the ground in convulsions. The eye was damaged. We turned around and quickly descended to Mount Hagen. At the Main Hospital, the best specialist in Papua New Guinea will examine him. Saving Ilya's eye is more important than the mountain!

The "7 volcanoes in 77 days" team, consisting of Alexander Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh, has been flying from Mexico to Papua New Guinea for three days now. It is now the third night on the plane, and we spent the whole day in China. In Guangzhou. We visited the tent factory, which we are now buying for a new expedition to Everest.

The team of the 7 Summits Club of the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days" is now in Istanbul. On a transfer. We are flying straight to the 5th mountain of the project: Giluwe volcano in Papua New Guinea.

Only 24 days have passed since the beginning of the project (out of 77), and we have already climbed 4 peaks and are flying to the 5th.

There are several places in our groups for Antarctica to Vinson Massif - the highest mountain in Antarctica from the "Seven Summits" project and to Sidley Volcano - the highest volcano in Antarctica. Join now, who forgot or doubted!

The group "14 friends of Julio" with the guide Alexander Dorojukov and the group "7 volcanoes in 77 days", consisting of Alexander Abramov and videographer Ilya Gladkikh, have completed their Mexican program. Together they celebrated the victory, the successful ascent of Orizaba. The participants received well-deserved awards, honorary badges and certificates. Then again, all together they descended to the capital of the country, Mexico City, and are flying home.

At 7:45 am local time, our team gathered at the top of the highest volcano in North America. The 7 Summits Club group "14 Friends of Julio" climbed under the guidance of our guide Alexander Dorojukov. At the same time, the group of the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days" - Alexander Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh - reached the summit. We hope to get more information after the descent to the hotel. For Alexander Abramov, this is the fourth summit of the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days" (Elbrus, Damavand, Kilimanjaro) in 20 days. Ahead is Giluwe, on the Australian continent.

The "7 volcanoes in 77 days" team climbed to the assault camp of Orizaba peak 4700 meters.

Alex Abramov sends from Mexico:

Today our "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" team (Alex Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh) ascends to Orizaba Base Camp. The Internet will probably be bad. In the meantime, a few photos and videos from the road.

Today the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" team has arrived in Mexico. Tomorrow we are moving to the Orizaba Base Camp. And on the night of November 12-13 we are planning an ascent. To the 4th volcano from the project. The weather forecast is excellent. Alexander Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh.

The 7 Summits Club group thanked the local team at the Horombo Refuge for their invaluable help throughout the program and during the ascent. As usual, we danced and sang together, and took photos. Then there was a descent through the humid jungle and the long-awaited comfortable hotel. In the evening, a ceremonial event was held to present certificates, medals and mutual gratitude. As usual, the party was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Smiles, laughter, handshakes and hugs, and even dancing, despite the fatigue!

 We join in congratulating Alexander Abramov - 3 highest volcanoes of the continents in 2 weeks! Keep it up!

The 7 Summits Club group "Chameleons" (guide Evgeny Fedyunin) and Alexander Abramov's group made a successful joint ascent on the summit of Kilimanjaro. Ten participants and guides reached the highest point of the Uhuru Peak massif at 10 a.m. local time.

For Alexander Abramov, this is the third mountain of the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" project. The first was Elbrus on October 25. Three volcanoes in 13 days it is a good pace!

The president of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Tanzania:

Kilimanjaro. Our team of the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days" climbed to the Horombo camp 3800 m. The weather is very kind for us so far. There is no rain. There is no wind.

The camp is very comfortable. We live in small houses on beds. The food is very tasty. The team is in a great mood. Today we will watch a film about Everest, which Ilya Gladkikh shot in the spring during our spring expedition.

Today our team does nothing but dance and sing. I love this atmosphere on Kilimanjaro. Thanks to our local team, who make our ascent a holiday.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alex Abramov and videographer Ilya Gladkikh have arrived in Tanzania. The goal: to climb the third volcano in the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days".

After a little sleep, we set off to the next summit. This time - to the highest volcano in Africa, Kilimanjaro!

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov from Iran:

Today we climbed Damavand - 5609m!!! On October 31 at 12:00 Iranian time, Ilya Gladkikh and I climbed the highest volcano in Asia. This is the second mountain from the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" project. The weather was not good at all, the climb was out of season. The wind was up to 60 km per hour. The temperature at the summit was minus 25. And there was already snow. I had three warm pants on. I have never put on so many! It was really hard to walk. But we managed.

Now we are urgently heading to Kilimanjaro!

Two volcanoes in 8 days - let's move on!

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov:

Yesterday at 9 am, as part of the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" project, Alexander Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh ascended the first peak of the project - Elbrus. The ascent took place in unstable autumn weather conditions. Thus, the 7/77 project has begun.

The next peak is the Damavand volcano 5609 in Iran. We plan to climb it on October 31.

This morning, the President of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Abramov, climbed to the top of Europe's highest volcano, Elbrus. We are turning on the counter. The "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" project has started. Today was day number 1. Alexander climbed Elbrus together with Sergey Fedkin, who became the first participant in the record-breaking project as a partner. Let's continue to follow and count the days!

The President of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Abramov, moved the refuge today and will storm Elbrus tonight. This is the start of his (and our) project to set a record for the speed of completing the "Seven Volcanoes" program. We believe in our captain! In case of success, the countdown of the days of the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" project will begin tomorrow. The time will be counted from the moment of climbing the first of the seven volcanoes and the countdown will end as soon as the climber's foot rises to the seventh volcano. Weather and good luck, boss!

Alexander Abramov can be called the "godfather" of this program on a global scale. And who else but he should hold the record! It was the President of the 7 Summits Club who conceived, and our company carried out, the historic expedition to the Sidley volcano in 2011. Since the scientific discovery of this highest volcano in Antarctica, no one has been there. The 2011 ascent resulted in the first people to climb all seven volcanoes. These were our expedition members Mario Trimeri and Crina Popescu. And this was the real start of the Seven Volcanoes program. Russia, represented by our company, is the world leader in the number of climbers who have climbed all seven volcanoes of the project. At the moment, out of 46 who have completed the project, 14 represent our country. There is something to be proud of!

The 7 Summits Club President Alexander Abramov was one of the authors of the idea, the initiators of the record-breaking Transglobal Car round-the-world expedition. His participation ended at the Canadian border, when local authorities cancelled his entry visa (without reason, meanly, on his birthday). And now, more than half a year later, Alexander joined the team. For a short time, but he joined. And together with his friends, he admired one of the wonders of the world - Victoria Falls.

 Transglobal Car expedition diary. Day 280. 10/15/24

Today we visited Victoria Falls. Zambezi River, Victoria Falls. The names are familiar from childhood. Victoria Falls is located on the Zambezi River. Width 1800 m. Height 120 m. The difference from our usual perception of a waterfall is that the water falls into the gorge along the width of the riverbed. Scottish explorer and traveler David Livingstone named it in honor of the British Queen Victoria. In the Lozi language of the indigenous people of these places, the waterfall was known as Mosi-oa-Tunya - "thundering smoke"

Now in this area of Africa, the driest season and the water level in the river is very low. Therefore, two-thirds of the riverbed have dried up. And the width of the waterfall at this time is no more than 400 meters.

To the active part of the waterfall, along the dry riverbed, we walked about two kilometers. Part of the team decided to swim in the waters of the Zambezi. And of course, there was a photo shoot against the backdrop of the waterfall.

On September 17, the team of the 7 Summits Club "Brothers and Sisters" successfully climbed the summit of Khoser Gunge 6250m, the most popular and accessible six-thousander in Pakistan. See photos and videos from this ascent from the leader of the expedition, President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov.

The President of the 7 Summits Club, super-guide Alexander Abramov reports from Pakistan:

 News from the "Brothers and Sisters" team from Pakistan. Today we successfully climbed to the top of Khoser Gunge 6250m, the most popular and accessible six-thousander in Pakistan. Five participants, guide Alexander Abramov and three local porters who accompanied us reached the highest point. The weather conditions were difficult: snow, wind. Now the group is descending, all participants feel well.
