Alexander Abramov directly from the top of Khosar Ganges: Having overcome bad weather and deep snow, the group of the 7 Summits Club climbed to the highest point. It happened exactly at 12 o'clock local time. We wish them a successful descent!

 Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Pakistan:

Today, the team "Five on a Perch" climbed to Camp-2 (5300m) on the crest of the Khosar Gang Mountain. The weather contributed, although the condition of the route leaves much to be desired. Yesterday, an avalanche descended right on the climbing route.  And according to information from our porters, a lot of fixed ropes are now buried under the snow. There is also a very strong wind at the summit. So we decided to postpone the assault for a day. Meanwhile, several Pakistani guides will check fixed ropes. Tonight, with favorable weather, we plan to storm the summit. Now the peak is covered with clouds. It snowed last night.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Pakistan:

Today our team moved to the first high-altitude camp of the Khosar Gang Mountain, at an altitude of 4850 meters.  We climbed the rocks here at a pretty good pace. There were 10 porters with us. It looked like these guys were carrying more than their own weight. The camp is located on the ridge. There's nowhere to hide. It is necessary to leave the tents carefully, because there are cliffs on both sides.  The weather is great!

Tomorrow there will be an even more difficult climb to the Camp 2.

The 7 Summits Club starts accepting applications for participation in the 2023 Everest expedition!  Alexander Abramov, the permanent leader of all Everest expeditions, plans to lead our next ascent to the highest peak in the World.  Our twenty years of experience, our twenty years of efforts to improve service, to ensure safety – everything is at your service.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Pakistan:

Today our team "Thumbelina and 4 Toads" is back in touch from Pakistan.  Now we plan to climb the Khoser Gang mountain 6200m. Before the mountain, as usual, we stopped at the Garden of Eden to taste paradise apples. And life-giving juice from cherries and apricots. The mixture has entered.

As a result, half the roads alternately disappeared behind the ridge. We reached at last the Base camp. No bacon was served to us. Pakistan however. But the dinner was a success. There were quails, rabbit fillet marinated in white wine and rice with mushroom sauce and foie gras.  Soon we are going to sleep in our spacious insulated tents. Tomorrow morning - team forward!

 President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Pakistan: The team "Welcome to Pakistan" from Pakistan. It is the best country. This morning, waking up in tents on the Diosai plateau, our team, tired after successfully climbing to the Highest point of Mount Shatun 5400m, was surprised to find tents littered with snow. Quickly plunging into the jeeps, we rushed down to the district center of Skardu - in the heat.

 A short road led us to paradise. We went to the Cold Desert, a unique place where the World Rally Cup takes place. These are sand dunes on which you can drive on all types of equipment. Beauty!!! In the evening we said goodbye to half of the team that finishes the trip. The second part of the team starts a new ascent of the technically difficult summit Hosar Ganga (6200m) tomorrow. There may not be a connection for 4 days.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Pakistan:

The team is at the top of Mount Shantung. Details will be available later. It's snowing now.  Thunderstorm. After leaving the Base Camp at 4200 at 5 am, at 11:30 we climbed to the summit of Shantung. This is the highest peak of the Dilsai Plateau.

The President of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Abramov from Pakistan:

 Leaving the town of Chilas early in the morning, we reached the settlement of Tato in 4 hours by jeep on a crazy road.  This is where our trekking, probably the most beautiful in my life, began. We were walking through a pine forest surrounded by rocky mountains and mountain streams.   And by nightfall we reached the world-famous Fairy Meadow place - fantastic meadows. Here we settled in nice wooden houses.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Pakistan:

Today, September 25, is officially the first day of the expedition of the 7 Summits Club and company 8000.guide to Pakistan.  The team led by Alexander Abramov, who was named "Maria Ivanovna", had a great day in Islamabad today.

All arrived, all things flew. Checked the equipment - found the missing. We visited the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, visited the monument to those who died for the freedom of Pakistan, went to the bazaar and finished the day at the Kabul restaurant with delicious kebabs.Alexander Kharchenkov also had a birthday today. Which we cheerfully celebrated on the roof of our hotel. The team gave him a gift. Everyone had a lot of fun. Tomorrow we leave in the direction of Nanga Parbat.  Adventures and dangers begin. Hurray!

 Addition: By tradition in Pakistan, all people are very friendly and polite, many happily ask to take a selfie with strangers. Therefore, our movement around the city was slow, but solemn. Everyone was very satisfied with a wonderful day.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Pakistan:

Project 8000.guide of the 7 Summits Club in action.  Today, the first part of the team arrived in Pakistan. And after a short rest, we went climbing. To the nearest mountain.  In 2.5 hours we gained 1000m. It began to rain wildly and a thunderstorm began.  But the team continued climbing.  After that, we decided to call the team "Wet in the Dark". We're soaked to the skin. Lightning flashed every second. Such a test turned the team into a Monolith!

Message from the President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov:

Alexander Abramov with a team of 10 people is flying to Pakistan.  The purpose of the trip: exploration of routes in Pakistan with the aim of conducting an expedition to Broad Peak and K2 next summer.  The team will visit the Nanga Parbat Base Camp, cross the Deosai Plateau (Pakistani Tibet) and ascend to the highest point of the plateau, Mount Shantun (5400m).

And like the cherry on the cake, we want to complete the program by climbing to the summit of Khosar Gang (6200m) located near Skardu, already in Karakorum.

The ascent is organized by the company 8000.guide together with the company the 7summits.club.

Successful travel always ends with new plans, which are born at the end of the trip and then issued at home. Alexander Abramov and Fyodor Konyukhov had barely returned from Iran, after a wonderful ascent to the highest peak of the country, the volcano Damavand, when they met again. 

Alexander Abramov: "In The Workshop of Fyodor Konyukhov. We were planning new trips. And new climbing in Antarctica."

 The formation of groups to Antarctica is coming to an end, but you can still have time to join our groups of the 2022/2023 season. Programs and details on the website. The ice continent is real space!

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Pakistan:
Today is July 15th. Broad Peak. Pakistan. 8056 m . Having successfully carried out acclimatization, we went down from Camp 2 to Base Camp on the 13th. It is on the 13th that Volodya Kotlyar, who performs a secret mission on K2, has a birthday. Two base camps, Broad Peak and K2, came to congratulate him. He turned 34 years old. The limit of youth that he had set for himself. Now adult life begins. Volodya, a great voyage for a big ship!
The weather in Pakistan does not allow us to think about the future yet. All the slopes were covered with snow. The snow has fallen even in BC. We are all sitting in tents. We read books, watch movies, make love. Who has what opportunities....

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Pakistan:
There is no Internet here, neither satellite nor mobile. The whole sky is overcast. It's raining. Luda and I spent a night in Camp 2. And today, under the roar of avalanches and the howling of blizzards, we were able to descend to the base camp of Broad Peak. Today is July 13th. Since July 17th, everyone here expects good weather. I have a different opinion. The weather in Pakistan this year is not encouraging. There are still no fixed ropes to the top of Broad Peak. And on K2 in general, ropes were hung only up to camp 3.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, from Pakistan:
We came to the base camp of expeditions on Broad Peak. This is already good news. The bad news is that so far not a single person has climbed Broad Peak. Today, Furtenbach's team has already gone home after an summit attempt. It ended a little above Camp 3 due to the large amount of snow and no fixed ropes.
It looks like Lyuda and I came just in time. Everything is just beginning.... By the way, the food here is excellent. And the camp is very comfortable.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, the group's guide, reports from Iran:

News from the group "Forward to the past" from Iran from the summit of Damavand, 5670m. Today the team, consisting of 11 participants and 5 guides, heroically ascended on the summit. A lot of impressions. The weather was great. We were lucky.  We started around 7 am. There were clouds of sulfur near the top, because this is an active volcano. And at 19:30 all the participants went down to the shelter. The whole team is happy! This year, the 7 Summits Club has many groups in Iran. The people here are wonderful, the attitude towards us is excellent. And the mountain is great. Come here! Guides Alexander and Denis Abramov.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, the group's guide, reports from Iran:

Today our team "Forward to the future" started climbing volcano Damavand in Iran. Long journeys and shifting loads were compensated by a gorgeous view of the mountain and fields of red poppies. By 6 pm we reached the refuge at an altitude of 4150m. Tomorrow is the day of acclimatization and preparation for the ascent. The summit is getting closer!

Guides Alexander Abramov and Denis Abramov.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, the group's guide, reports from Iran:

This morning we woke up and boldly moved towards the goal of our acclimatization hike: the Tochal Mountain 4000m.  The top has been reached. And then the weather turned bad, it almost snowed. Therefore, a quick descent to Tehran was necessary.

But in Tehran, two fully cooked sheep were waiting for us. And a toast for the successful ascent. True, everyone was clinking glasses with what they could: juice, ayran, water and delicious non-alcoholic beer.

Tomorrow we will move to the hot springs, to warm clogged muscles and joints battered by climbing.

Guides Abramov Alexander and Abramov Denis.

 Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, the group's guide, reports from Iran:

Today, the Back to the Future team tried a new way of acclimatization program. We took the cable car up to the Ski hotel situated at 300 m from the top of the mountain Tochal 3960m. Then, having had a delicious lunch, we went on an acclimatization ascent to the summit of Shah 3800m. And now all the participants are tired and go to bed. Tomorrow morning we plan to climb on the summit of Tochal and descend to Tehran.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, the group's guide, reports from Iran:

A new program of the 7 Summits Club of climbing Demavend has started today in Iran. Two Abramovs will be guides: Alexander and Denis (son). The command is called "Back to the Future". The team members and I walked through the "hot spots" of Tehran. These are the markets, the palaces of the Iranian shahs and ended the evening with dinner on a TV tower.

Everyone is delighted with the country. Especially from beer with 0.0% alcohol of lemon and apricot flavor. Generally, in Iran, the people are wonderful, the food is very tasty.

Tomorrow, according to the plan, we have an acclimatization ascent to the mountain Tochal 4000m and an overnight stay at an altitude of 3700 m.

Yes... now we live in the best presidential hotel in Tehran.
