The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

 Hello everyone! We haven't had any news, we've been hanging around here in Nepal, trying to fit everything in. In the end, those who needed to return home traveled 15 hours by jeep to Kathmandu and made it on time! Two of us, including myself, stayed behind to wait for the weather to improve. And we finally got it! We masterfully swerved through the traffic and reached Camp 3 by lunchtime. Those who made it, the other teams, were there by 10 p.m.! We were the first to reach the summit in the morning, right before the sun set. And neither the wind nor the lack of a trail stopped us. We made it ourselves. Great job!

Sergey, Evgeny, and our guide Boris!

Message from group guide Boris Egorov:

Our team arrived at Camp 3 at 6,400m this morning. The weather is great! We'll be heading out tonight to summit Ama Dablam! Wish us luck!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

 Prolonged bad weather in the Nepalese mountains prevented climbers from ascents, and our "Experienced Yaks" group opted to descend for a while. This morning, the team returned, flew by helicopter to Ama Dablam Base Camp. We had a quick lunch and immediately set out for Camp 1. There's a good weather window ahead! There's a lot of snow and a lot of people, but we'll keep trying! Wish us luck on our second attempt!

The 7 Summits Club  Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Hello everyone! We're going through tough times on Ama Dablam. Bad weather has arrived globally, but there's a window for climbing, and we're preparing to set out for Camp 1 tomorrow. We'll make a final decision tomorrow morning, though. Today, we decided to get our blood pumping and ran to the nearby village of Pangboche. We have good cappuccino at base camp, but it was just a change of scenery.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

 Greetings to everyone from Ama Dablam Base Camp! We, the experienced Yaks, are sitting here waiting for the weather. We were one day short of summiting. Right now, it's sunny, but the weather forecast says it's going to change dramatically soon. It's already gotten very cold, and the wind has picked up.

For now, we're resting and eating well. Today, we also went for an extra workout on a rock near the camp. We practiced different ascent and descent techniques.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

 Hello everyone! The 7 Summits Club "Experienced Yaks" group successfully acclimatized on the slopes of Ama Dablam. We spent two nights at Camp 1 at 5,800 meters and climbed the rocks to Camp 2. We completed all the necessary technical aspects and had breakfast at Base Camp this morning. Tomorrow we'll rest and check the forecast for when to set out for the summit push.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

 Greetings from Ama Dablam Base Camp! This morning, a puja was held at the experienced yak camp, we received a blessing, and are ready to begin working on the mountain. After lunch, we hiked to the rocks and practiced climbing a vertical, smooth wall with a jumar and rappelling. Everyone was successful and worked quite quickly. Tomorrow, we plan a two-night acclimatization hike to Camp 1.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

 Hello everyone! Today, a group of experienced yaks briskly reached Ama Dablam Base Camp, located at an altitude of 4,600 meters. Here, our group settled comfortably into spacious tents. The chef stepped up his game, preparing burgers for lunch and a delicious borscht for dinner. The weather continues to delight with bright sunshine. Tomorrow, we'll rest and perform a puja.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov sends a message from Nepal:

 Greetings from Nepal! Today, our team of "experienced yaks" reached the village of Diboche. We walked all day under clear skies and with a magnificent panorama of all the peaks. We're feeling great, and we can't wait to reach Ama Dablam Base Camp tomorrow and take a breather.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov sends a message from Nepal:

 Greetings from Nepal! Today we had an active time in Namche. We went to the Everest Café after gaining 400 meters and admired the mountain panorama. We could see both Everest and Lhotse. And, of course, our destination, Ama Dablam, in all its glory. In the meantime, we came up with a name for the group: "Experienced Yaks."

On the way back, we visited the eco-museum and the Sherpa Museum. At the latter, our Sherpa Sona showed us his photo—he's a two-time Guinness World Record holder! Winter ascent of K2 and the shortest Everest-K2 ascent in 114 days.

The most experienced Super Yak, Boris Egorov.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Hello everyone! We continue our journey to the summit of Ama Dablam. Today we successfully reached Namche Bazaar. This is not a first trek for all of the participants, and the area is familiar to everyone. We'll be happy to spend a couple of days here.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

 Two more Ama Dablam climbers arrived in Kathmandu today. We finalized all our arrangements in the city, walked around, and, of course, bought all the necessary supplies. Tomorrow, according to plan, we fly by helicopter to Lukla and finally begin our trekking and climbing program!

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Greetings from Kathmandu! The 7 Summits Club's first major expedition to the most beautiful mountain, Ama Dablam, is about to begin! Participants have already begun to slowly gather in the city. While preparations are underway for the trekking trip, Sergei Avtomonov (the second guide) and I found some time to warm up on the climbing wall right across from the hotel.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from the Elbrus region:

I thought I'd rest somewhere by the sea after climbing an eight-thousander, and then head back to Nepal, to Ama Dablam. But the mountains wouldn't let me go: I rushed to the Elbrus region for my guide certification. And there were new locations: the Dzhan-Tugan rock laboratory, the Kashkatash glacier, and the good old snow on Elbrus. I passed all my tests with flying colors. It's great when you love what you do!

The 7 Summits Club guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal! Hooray, it's finally happened! Alexey and I are now rightfully part of the 8000 Club, and Manaslu has been summited! We spent the night at Camp 1, reached Camp 3, and wondered what to wait. After a few hours' rest, we set out to climb. We were exhausted by the queues, but successfully reached the summit the next morning. We've now completed all forms of mountaineering, but we're not planning on stopping. We still have plenty of ideas!

The 7 Summits Club guide Boris Egorov sends a message from Nepal:

Greetings to everyone from the slopes of Manaslu! Our small team descended to base camp after acclimatization climb. We stood in lines, but felt comfortable. We reached Camp III at 6650 m. Overall, we've acclimatized well, and now we're waiting for the ropes to be fixed to the summit.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Greetings from the Manaslu base camp! Today they held a solemn Puja ceremony here. And now we are ready to move higher. Tomorrow we leave for the first rotation, and the internal mood is as if we were already going to the summit. We have been sitting in one place for too long.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

Hello to everyone from Nepal! As part of the 8000 Club's large expedition to the eight-thousander Manaslu, Alexey Sivkov and I also decided to try ourselves at altitude. And today we have already arrived at the base camp at an altitude of 4800 meters. We are accompanied by friends who will stay with us for several days at this altitude.

After three days of village life in Samagaon, the conditions here are, of course, great! We are still getting used to the tent life.

The 7 Summits Club S Guide Boris Egorov reports from Peru:

 Greetings from Peru! Our "Intipalka" team split into two parts. Two members finally climbed the Chachani volcano! Hooray! We managed to reach the top of the volcano and climbed to a height of 6,057 meters. We were promised a strong wind, but the mountain was calm and we admired the views from the summit. At this time, the second half of the team admired the condors in the unique Colca Canyon. Basically, everyone got what they wanted. And everyone was happy!

The 7 Summits Club  Guide Boris Egorov sends from Peru:

Greetings from Peru to everyone! Today the Intipalka team finished their trek around Mount Ausangate. On the final day of trekking we walked 17 km, climbed to the 5100m pass, met a vinicunca and local chinchillas. And the reward was the hot springs at the very end of the route, right in front of the bus. We are rushing to Cusco to celebrate the successful completion of the trek!
