Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club from South Africa:

Hello Friends! We arrived in Cape town in South Africa. From here on December 1 we will fly to Antarctica to Novolazarevskaya station. And then the cars with the team will go to the South Pole and through the Vostok station to the Mirny station. About 6,000 km.

On the way from Europe, our plane landed in Zimbabwe. Right by Victoria falls. We got a lot of fun and adrenaline.

On November 24, the leaders of the 7 Summits Club 7 Peaks Alexander Abramov and Lyudmila Korobeshko visited the opening of the exhibition of painting Vasily Nesterenko. It was a pleasure to meet legendary veterans of the national mountaineering Vladimir Shataev, Boris Korshunov, Yuri Tinin, our old friends Alexander Yakovenko, Sergey Bogomolov and Vladimir Suviga.

  "Better than the mountains can only be mountains..." this famous phrase called his new exhibition people's artist of Russia Vasily Nesterenko and it immediately gives us an idea about the theme of the exhibition.

  The exhibition presents his works made over the past 10 years after expeditions to Elbrus, Sayan, Altai Mountains and Kamchatka. The exhibition will give visitors an idea of the unique regions of Russia, the love of which the artist sings in his paintings.

Watch Vadim Khairullin's amateur film.  The passage of the climbing route (multi-pitch) Mishorsky caves. Fog, of course, greatly prevented to make high-quality shooting.  But still there is information about the route, it is clear that it is worthy to be considered one of the best in the Crimea.

Such diversity is nowhere on the Crimean climbing  routes, and the caves themselves are an amazing object.  We will wait for new, better shootings…

Namaste!  Our group "Monkey Bite" today reached the end point of our base camp trekking program Mardi Himal (4200 meters).  From there we went down to the valley of the Mardi Khola river. In a few hours we saw different high-altitude zones: from the harsh icy peaks to tropical forests. We went through a long and interesting track during the day. Now we are in the hotel at an altitude of 1900 meters. We leave for Pokhara tomorrow.

Alexander Dorozhukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club:

Hello from Nepal! Today we climbed the mountain of  Kala Patthar!  The weather was gorgeous.  In the morning it was a little cold, but the beautiful scenery smoothed the heavy ascent and morning cold.  Our goals have been achieved - today we begin to descend.

Indonesia. Papua. Expedition Carstensz-2018. 

 After a sudden successful summit the day before yesterday, we can only ask the weather to give a second chance - the opportunity to fly early from the base camp down to Timika. Didn't happen yesterday. We waited walking  to the next valley and rest.

Today, all the stars have developed in our favor, even the helicopter pilot took a chance and got a group of turns between the clouds. We were worried, but in the end we are all at the bottom level.

And now we are preparing to celebrate the climb and congratulate new sevensummiters.

Congratulations with Seven Summits!
