Andrey Berezin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:

Group "12 with no chairs" came to Tengboche. There is a stage of Everest trail race. After thinking a bit, we decided to take part in the competition…

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:

A group of "Athletes moonshiners" has reached Pheriche. Height: 4200. All participants are still good as a trained special forces soldiers. I have smoked with views of Ama Dablam, the last mountain of Valery Rozov. I know him, unfortunately, very short time, but that bright person could not leave a mark either, with whom he met.

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club:

This morning the group named  "12 with no chairs"  climbed to the top of the Mount Kalapathar. Thus we have fulfilled all the planned program of trek to the Base camp of Everest. Weather, surprisingly, after a few cold days, were warm. Share Sunny greetings to all!  And we begin a descent to civilization.

We think of Valery, remember and mourn! We had the good fortune to work and be friends with this star person. Valery Rozov was a constant participant of our expeditions, he tried to be at all our meetings, often just visited our Club. And we appreciated that and believed that with him nothing will happen, believed in his prudence, his method, his star...

Alexander Abramov: Valery has done so much in your life.... a huge number of ascents and expeditions. I'm trying to remember everything. And more  and more I remember. A huge number of achievements, incredible projects. It must be that a critical mass has accumulated.

Alexander Abramov: it's a reminder: the mountain is not a game. Be careful. Take care of yourself and take care of your friands and members of expeditiions. How Valera was careful! How he all verified 10 times... Please check all 11 times!

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club: We are reporting from Sunny Nepal. Group "12 with no chairs" reached the Everest base camp, explored this place, we liked it. Tomorrow we'll go see the Everest from the top of Kalapatar. To be continued....

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:

A group of "Athletes moonshiners" spent an acclimatization day in Namche. We had Breakfast at the "Everest view" hotel with views of snow-capped peaks. Then we went to the village Khumjung, visited the monastery with the Yeti scalp and the Hillary school.

 Our friends from Brazil successfully summited the highest peak in Africa Kilimanjaro (5 895 m). They are in a good mood, continue their journey through Africa. On their return home, we are waiting for more photos and impressions! And now there is only such nice photo from the top. Congratulations!

You already know that our entire group at full strength climbed to the top of Carstensz. But the adventure is not over.

Taking off from Carstensz, the group split up. The male part went to the meeting with the scary Komodo dragons. And the female part under the leadership of President Alex flew into the heart of the island to look at the scary on the outside but good inside of the Papuans.

Now we compete who have cooler adventures.

We (women's team) have participated in hostilities, witnessed the brutal murder of a pig (which women of the Dani tribe carefully nurtured breast), ate meat from the pit and went through a huge cave with bats before the start of the underground river. A group of men, meanwhile, backs of dragons and bathed in ice sources.

The total score is 1:1

Maxim Shakirov, guide of 7 summits Club:

The group called "Incognito" has successfully completed the blitz expedition in Morocco!)

3 of the 4 participants reached the highest point of the country, the Atlas mountains and North Africa - Toubkal (4 167 m).

The fourth member turned from a height of 3 600 meters.

Our blitz the day of the ascent:

4:20 - exit from shelter;

After an hour our group split: Andrey, Oxana and Victoria with a local guide, Mohammed go to the top, I'm Marina and continue climbing, but slowly...

7:20 in the morning, with 400 meters of altitude during 3 hours climing, we turn down, knowing that today, for the Marina (which is actually the first time in the mountains) it is a  top.

At 9:30 I go out from the shelter towards the summit, towards the brave three, worrying that they may need my help on the descent...

At 10:40, I meet the main group at 3 600 metres, the same height, where we turned with Marina...

My help is not needed - the team, though tired, but happy, are going down!)

The heroine of the day unquestionably was Victoria, which for the first time in the mountains ( Andrei and Oksana before that ascension was only the Olympus)!!!

Maxim Shakirov, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello from the Toubkal!)

Blitz managed on 75%!

Three out of four members of the expedition with a local guide Mohammed was on the Top today, November 5th!

I twice went to 3 600 😂😂😂

Details and pictures from the top I hope will be tomorrow...

Personal observation: in winter, Toubkal is much nicer to go;-)

Message from Alexander Abramov:

Hello! This is Abramov Alexander, Irian Jaya, Papua, Pyramid Carstensz. Today our team made the ascent on the Pyramid of Carstensz. All seven people. Including among us:

- the first Deputy of the State Duma Oleg Savchenko;

- the first Ukrainian woman who is going to finish the "seven summits" - Tatiana Jalovchak;

- the first inhabitant of Kovrov – Alexey Balakin;

- well, actually, Abramov Alexander, for the fifth time;

- Lyudmila Korobeshko, for the third time ...

In General, each of us was first in something. ... everything is fine. Of course, with the weather we were lucky. The weather is fair, we flew by helicopter. Until we saw no guerrillas, which are said to be located across two valleys from us.

I mean, we're all fine. The first part went down after 12 hours on climb, the second -after 13. On the top we went up seven and a half hours.

That is, everything was fine, "mountain of the mists" at the end on the descent fresh us with some rain.

Well, OK, now we sit waiting for our departure home.

We want to go to .... in Wamena. And spend an unforgettable party in Bali.

Here we have a cool program. We are all very pleased, we have a gorgeous camp. Tents are not wet at all. This is unique to this country, because here constantly pour rains. Well, bye!

The group "Navy Seals Kotlyar" successfully climbed to the top of Mera peak (6476 meters). 4 of 5 members reached the highest point. Irina climbed up to the pass Mera La.

The 7 Summits Club congratulates Ivan Dusharin happy anniversary! We wish our friend, companion on the mountain travel, teacher and example in life, a new sports and creative achievements, good health and joy! We hope of new joint projects and meetings in the mountains and on the plain!

Hello! This is Lyudmila Korobeshko from the expedition on Carstensz. Now I am at the base camp of the Pyramid Carstensz at 4200. Here I have arrived with one Indonesian friend early yesterday morning, specifically to prepare everything for the arrival of the group. We set up tents, set up a camp. Then we put the public tent, and even made a small cleaning area. Anyway, all is well. Yesterday, however, all day pouring rain, but we did expect this...

So the expedition to  Carstensz seria-2 starts. We arrived at 8 people in Bali. Under the guidance of Lyudmila Korobeshko and Alexander Abramov. And then we met our group-1, which yesterday returned to Bali from Carstensz, under the leadership of Artem Rostovtsev. We are resting and remembering what happened. Group members were not allowed to hike through the jungle, as the military said that in the jungle is unsafe. And so they flew in a helicopter. And rightly so. As somebody said, in the area of Carstensz yesterday there were shot a car with police from machine guns. Tonight we will fly to Timika. In the lair of the Papuans

Lyudmila Korobeshko from Papua: Today Oct 30, I arrived at Timika on the island of Papua New Guinea after a short preparatory phase on Bali.

All day I with local guides bought food (a supplement to previously purchased delicacies in Bali), carefully weighed and packaged equipment. Tomorrow the helicopter promised to take 350 kilos. Alex Abramov insisted that we have brought an oak table and chairs. "There's got to be at the highest level!"

In the evening we visited the migration service. I was photographed on a red background and I have a subscription that I'm on the good will go to the lair of the Papuans. And I agree not to come closer than 5 km to secret American mine and not to ask for help in any case.

I go to bed, tomorrow at 4.45 departure to the airport. I and a cook will fly 2 days earlier, we will make a camp.
