Today, the first team of Sherpas of the expedition of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club on Everest reached the Base Camp (BC). It has been raining and snowing here for a week. The first cargo also flew to the BC by helicopter.  As usual, the glacier has changed completely in a year. All the flat places stood on end. We need to level up again.  The participants of Everest-23 arrive in Kathmandu only on April 15. And on the 17th, the start of trekking is scheduled, they will reach the Everest base camp only on April 25. That is, Sherpas can level and iron the glacier for another month. That's the hard work of our Sherpas.

Greetings from Alex Abramov and Luda Korobeshko from the USA!

Simultaneously with active preparations for Everest, Makalu and K2, we are also preparing for a large-scale season in Antarctica 2023-2024. This week we met with our partners for Antarctica (ALE). We specially flew to this meeting in Salt Lake City. And we have just incredible news!

 A very large and unusual season in Antarctica is planned. In addition to our standard programs "Ascent to the highest peak of Antarctica Vinson" and expeditions to the South Pole "Last Degree", this time we will have two large groups to the highest volcano in Antarctica — Sidley.

The 7 Summits Club is the first and only company in Russia that started 20 years ago and annually organizes ascents in Antarctica on the Vinson Massif as part of the Seven Summits project and to Sidley as part of the Seven Volcanoes project.

Usually, only 8 people per year are allowed to climb Mount Sidley from all over the world.  But thanks to successful negotiations, we will have two big groups in the 2024 season!

Join us!

Dear friends!  A few words about the upcoming season in Nepal. In addition to a large number of trekking and climbing groups, the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club organize an expedition on Mount Everest and an expedition on Makalu.

We have 13 participants on Everest now, a lot of Sherpas are involved, there will be a lot of oxygen and helicopters. Alexander Abramov will be a leader.  In the team: guide Viktor Volodin, doctor Andrey Selivanov and base camp manager Lena Abramova.

On Makalu we have a team of 8 climbers, it is headed by the famous Russian climber Lyudmila Korobeshko.

As always, we organize expeditions with the best possible service.

Follow the news! 

Your Alexander Abramov.

A team of Sherpas working with the expedition of the 7 Summits Club on Mount Everest has started preparing equipment.  As usual, large and comfortable tents will be installed in the base camp. Our company has always been at the forefront in terms of comfort and convenience for the participants of the expedition. And this year we will try to do everything according to the highest standards.

The President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Colombia:

Greetings to all from Colombia!  The mountain part of our program started today. In the morning, we loaded into jeeps and drove up to the beginning of the route. Today we had to walk 11 km to the first location, La Argentina farm. We coped with the task and completed the route in a little more than 6 hours. The surrounding views are beautiful! Today we saw wax palms - the tallest in the world. We have already settled in, now we will have dinner and discuss plans for tomorrow. The mood is great, the team has become very friendly over these two days. Tomorrow we go higher, at 3800. We embrace everyone! The guides of the 7 Summits Club are Alex Abramov, Boris Egorov and Svetlana Kotlyar.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club: 

Hello everyone! I want to inform you that this year the 7 Summits Club and RD Studio will shoot the film "High-Altitude Gene-2. K2".  I want to invite you to an expedition to K2, that is, to become participants in the ascent and in the film. The dates are June 15 – August 8.

Dear friends! We are going to K2 to shoot the film "The Height Gene-2". We'll take it off. There is no doubt. But the task is to make it more interesting and cooler than the movie " High-Altitude Gene-1". In the success of the film, money will still not be the main thing, they are in second place. The first is the people, the main characters of the film. Their characters, their history, victories and defeats, team relationships, emotions of the participants…

In general, we need heroes, participants. Different in characters and life stories, one thing will unite them: they will all burn both by climbing K2 and by participating in the film. We want to limit the number of team members to 10-12 people. I think half of the participants (the best half) should be women. The second condition is the experience of climbing Summits above 8000 meters. I am sure that we will finish assembling the team by March 1. On March 1, we have to announce the composition of the expedition. Therefore, hurry up with applications. Write to info@7vershin.ru!

 Program and details

The main event of this year for the 7 Summits Club will be an expedition to K2. "Queen of the Mountains", the second highest peak in the World, the dream of all real climbers. A wonderful arena for the filming of the film "The High Altitude Gene-2". Today we finally decided that the shooting will be carried out in any case. RD Studio is with us!  The guests of the 7 Summits Club today were Valdis Pelsh (founder  of the RD Studia) and Kristina Kozlova (main director). The word, or rather the words that recorded our intentions, have been said. Things have been done for a long time. The quality bar raised by the film "The High Altitude Gene" is very high. We have to create a new masterpiece together.

The Hero No. 1 of the film is Sergey Bogomolov. If successful, he will become the first Russian to climb all 14 eight-thousand meters. And will also become the oldest climber on K2.

More heroes: Alexander Abramov and Lyudmila Korobeshko. They can become the first married couple to successfully climbed and descended K2.

And there are several vacancies! You are not only one step away from realizing your dream, but you will also become famous throughout the country, thanks to a film that will be watched by millions of people.  We believe in it, and we have good reasons.
