The season 2018 - 2019. Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club and a guide, leads the ascent to the highest peak of Antarctica mountain Massif Vinson.

Hi! Here is Ludmila Korobeshko of Manaslu expedition... Today, September 26, we climbed to the top, all persons - 5 members, 2 guides, 8 Sherpas.  We left the camp at one-thirty and about seven in the morning last part was on the top. We are coming down now. We really want to go down to the Base camp, and a little stretched. The first part is somewhere on the approach to Base camp, and the closing  part is near the third camp. And just now it somehow clouded, the sky clouded and the snow began. But we go well we all have to reach down to the base camp. Details later...

Hello! It is Ludmila Korobeshko from the Manaslu expedition of the 7 Summits Club. So we came to Camp 4. In principle, we are doing well. We walked for a long time, because a lot of snow …

Now we are here -  4 hours 30 minutes local time. The sun came out…

…

We will leave at midnight or 1 am, because a lot of other expeditions, some of them are slow. We will try not to be in the tail, to be somewhere in the middle or somewhere in the beginning.

Everyone feels good. A small intrigue – one of members tries to ascend without oxygen.

The rest of us go with oxygen. The weather is great! Tomorrow morning there will be an assault, keep your fists for us…

 Bye, everyone!

Information from Ludmila Korobeshko. The team climbed into camp 3 at an altitude of 6800 m. There are now 5 members, two guides and 9 Sherpas. Tomorrow we plan to reach the high camp 4 at 7400. And on the night of the 25th to the 26th there should be an ascent to the top of Manaslu. Today, the Sherpa team completed fixing ropes and opened the route to the summit. There is a lot of snow, but the trail is already there.

We wish good luck to our team and look forward to new messages!

Hi ! This is Ludmila Korobeshko from the 7 Summits Club expedition Manaslu-2019. Today all our team left the Manaslu base camp in the morning.  We went up to the first camp, at 5700. It was a little hard, but in principle, we reached it normally. We were a little tired, but now we are recovering.  We had some soup, and in half an hour we would have supper. So early, because we want to go to bed early. Tomorrow we plan to leave the camp at 8 am in order to go to the third camp. That is, tomorrow we have quite a long climb. First in the second camp and forth - immediately in the third.   We already plan to spend the night in the third camp, that is, at an altitude of about 6700. That is, tomorrow we have about a kilometer to gain again…

Listen to the audio message (in Russian):

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club from Crimea:

 Crimea. Mountaineering School. Today we climbed 2 routes. One – on Tooth of Morcheka - 7 pitches. Then we moved to Alim Rock and went multipitch - 5 pitches. The day we ended with Crimean wine. Excellent!!!

Natasha Kartashova, head of Crimean programs of the 7 Summits Club:

 In Crimea, we continue training for high-altitude climbing.  We have three groups at the same time. Mikhail Turovsky, Alex Abramov and Natasha Kartashova try the via ferrata on the Ilyas-Kaya. The route of extraordinary beauty, a series of quite flat sections turns into an overhanging walls. We have to sweat, strong wind knocks down, but we fight!

September 22. Day 20 of the Manaslu expedition of the 7 Summits Club. In the morning we hardly dug up - the whole night it was snowing and by morning the whole camp was covered by 20-30 centimeters.

At breakfast we congratulated Luda Isakova -  Happy birthday!  And then we decided to wait with the start - hoping the snow stops. However, the snow kept falling. Moreover, it turned out that the fixed ropes were not fixed even to the Camp 4. The Sherpas team left in the morning, but turned around before reaching Camp 4.

Taking into account the absence of a prepared route and avalanche danger after snowfall, we decided to postpone the exit for climb for another day.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club:

 7 Summits, Hello!  This is Alexander Abramov from Crimea. Last year, enthusiasts from Sevastopol made an excellent via Ferrata here. I recommend everyone go through it. It is 2.3 km on the rocks, sometimes vertical. We decided to include this route in the mandatory schedule of our Mountain school for training in the Crimea. Special thanks to Yuri Kruglov, who created this Wonder of the World!

Natalia and Igor Smirnov from Turkey (program project Mountfever):

September 17, we climbed Mount Ararat or as this mountain is called in Turkey – Agri-Dag, 5137 m. Despite the unfavorable forecast (wind 55 km / h with an increase to 75), we decided not to postpone the assault on the top of the reserve day and took a chance.

To guarantee we left at 1 a.m. - an hour earlier than scheduled to avoid strong winds.  And at 5 am we were already at the highest point.

We spent exactly 3 minutes there to take photos.  We could not admire the dawn, because of the strong and gusty wind.  Even to make photos we should hold each other.

Night and morning were clear. And when we descended to 3350, the whole summit was covered with clouds. Exactly as it was predicted by mountain-forecast.

On the same day we went down to 2100 m, where a minibus was waiting for us. And already at three o'clock in the afternoon we had dinner in a restaurant in Dogubayazit.

We really liked the climb – it was not easy, despite the small height. Plus beautiful trekking on the approaches and an impressive dome of the snowy peak.

After the ascent we visited several historical and natural monuments located near Ararat.
