On November 9, Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, climbed Ama Dablam. The dream has come true!  We are proud and cordially congratulate you on making a difficult ascent!  Happy victory!

Olga Rumyantseva: How was it? As expected. It's difficult, cold, and sometimes scary. While it is difficult to describe everything that has happened in recent days ...

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Hello everyone from Nepal! Yesterday we moved from Khare in a rush, first to Lukla by helicopter, and in the evening we arrived in Kathmandu. Just a day ago we were at the top of Mera Peak, and now Kathmandu, a hotel, a hot shower and real beds.

Today, those who have the strength left, took a walk around Kathmandu. We went to Swayambuthnath - one of the main attractions of the city, which is also called Monkey Hill.

All the participants are flying home tonight.

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Hello everyone from Nepal We haven't been in touch for the last two days, but there have been a lot of events. First we went up and spent the night in the first camp at an altitude of 5200 meters. The next day we moved to the assault camp at an altitude of 5800 meters. After a short rest at night, our group went out to climb and almost in full force climbed on the top of Mera Peak.

Although we were waiting two days for the weather, but Mera peak didn 't relent. We managed to wait out the strongest winds, but the ascent was a real test. Strong wind and cold, very strong cold became an obstacle on the way to the top. But we have overcome all obstacles.

In the morning we stood on the summit, and in the evening we went down to the village of Khare.

 Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello everyone from Nepal! Days pass, and we still send greetings from the village with the lovely name of Khare. This morning we almost decided to move to the first camp, but after once again studying the weather forecast and its prospects, we decided not to risk it, but to wait another day.

Every member is ready to wait for the weather to become more favorable.

However, the forecast is improving and tomorrow we will go to the first camp.  And we plan to climb on the Mera Peak November 2. Today we walked around the neighborhood, climbed the local hill with a height of 5200 meters, from where beautiful views open.

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello everyone from Nepal!  From the foot of Mera Peak, where today our team is resting and preparing for the ascent. Early in the morning, as soon as the sun lit up the slopes of the surrounding mountains and warmed the air a little, we went to a lesson where participants learned to climb and descend on a fixed rope on a steep slope. This skill can be very useful to us during the ascent on Mera Peak. After the lesson, we walked around the village. We looked at how they live in other loggias, saw greenhouses where lettuce and cabbage grow.  This is a very strange sight at an altitude of 4900 meters, among snow and cold.

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club:  Hello everyone from Nepal! Today we continued to move towards the Mera Peak. The peak is getting closer, the views are getting better. Today we went up to the village of Tagnak. It's hard to call it a village. Rather, several loggias located at an altitude of 4,300 meters. Everyone is in a great mood. In the evening we rest and prepare for the next day – we plan to  reach the village of Khare.

Olga Rumyantseva, super-guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Hello everyone from Nepal! Today, the participants of the ascent of Mera Peak arrived in Kathmandu and began to get acquainted with this amazing country. For most of the participants, this is the first visit to Nepal, so when we finished everything, in the evening we went to one of the most beautiful places in Kathmandu and iconic places in Nepal - the Bodnath Stupa. It is the largest Buddhist stupa in the world, built in the sixth century. Tomorrow morning on the first flight we will fly to Lukla and start trekking towards Mera Peak…

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:  Hello everyone from Bolivia! Yesterday, our group climbed Mount Huayna Potosi. It wasn't easy, but we tried very hard.

On the way to the summit, our group finally found a name and now it is not just "the group on Huayna Potosi", but "Bulba pistols". Tomorrow, all the participants of the Bolivian adventure will fly home.

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello from Bolivia! Today, our group was miraculously transported to the Island of the Sun, which is located on Lake Titicaca. On the way, we took a cable car ride over the city, visited the museum and saw what Thor Heyerdahl used to build boats for his expeditions. In the evening, we watched the sunset at the highest point of the legendary Island of the Sun.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello everyone from Bolivia! Our group "Red Hot Chickas and Pepper" climbed the most beautiful six-thousandth peak, Mount Huayna Potosi. It wasn't easy, but the view from the top made up for all the difficulties. We very successfully managed to slip before the beginning of the snow storm to see these very beautiful views.

In the evening, we returned to La Paz to continue our adventures in Bolivia.

Olya Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Bolivia: Last night, completely exhausted, but not broken by the long journey, the second group of participants in our adventures arrived in La Paz. During the night, they recovered a little, adapted to the local time and altitude of 3600. Therefore, early in the morning we went to get acquainted with the most interesting places in La Paz.

We looked at the Moon Valley, collected potions at the witch market, fed pigeons in the main square of the country. Along the way, they came up with a name: Red hot chicas pepper. 

Tomorrow we will go to Lake Titkaka and the legendary Island of the Sun.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Bolivia: Today, "Hola-team"  made the ascent on the Mount of Huayna Potosi. As usual, we were very lucky with the weather. As a reward for the difficult climb, we were given gorgeous views.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Bolivia:  The acclimatization of the group of the 7 Summits Club "Hola-team" on Lake Titicaca is over. We stayed on the island of the Sun, walked on the island of the Moon and tasted fresh trout. Now we are going to the mountains, for the ascent on the top of Huayna Potosi.

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Peaks Club from Bolivia:  The program of the new group of the 7 Summits Club in Bolivia has begun. Today our team "HolaTeam" got acquainted with the sights of La Paz. We started our tour with a place called "Moon Valley".  In La Paz, there are unusually few tourists, so all the museums are mostly closed. But there are a lot of people on the streets. Music is playing, everyone is walking. After the Moon Valley, we visited the historical part of the city. Then we went to the local market, where they sell vegetables and fruits, and to the witch market, where they sell various potions.
