"Well, we have made the first step into the adult climbing. And though we are only 5 years old, my mother and I climbed to the top of the Breithorn, more than  four thousand meters. And there was a old man who led me on a rope. And even the flag of 7 summits Club was raised!

5-year-old Sasha and her mom Catherine climbed the Breithorn!

Alexander Abramov, the head of expedition to Manaslu, from the base camp: 

Expedition news  of "Manaslu 2017 – 7 Summits Club".

We have endured 2 days of continuous rain in comfortable conditions of the base camp,  with pleasure. We have given training classes in the oxygen equipment. And also we played guitar, dried things.

Today there is a starlit night.

We hope for good weather tomorrow. We will dry up everything and the day after tomorrow we leave on a summit assault…

Maxim Shakirov, the guide of  7 Summits Club from Greece:

A corporate group of the Forex Time company has begun the travel across Greece.

Who gets up early and walks in the monastery Grandee Meteora, that be in turn is not necessary!!! About 300 meters of ascent and tremendous views! Now we move to Litokhoro, our climb of Mount  Olympus starts  tomorrow!

Our team under the leadership of Alex Abramov has gone down to the base camp after acclimatization exit to the camp 2 on 6300. Here they should wait the bad weather period, and then to decide what to do next. For now you watch video of two previous days …

Alexander Abramov, the head of expedition to Manaslu, from the base camp: 

Expedition news "Manaslu 2017 – 7 Summits Club".

In the last 3 days our team finished acclimatization. Knowing that bad weather begins from the evening of 20th of September and in 3 days more than 1 meter of snow will drop out, our team has carried out by accelerated tempo acclimatization. We have spent  a night on the notorious Camp 2, at 6300 m which has claimed the lives of 22 people in 2008. We spent a night with avalanche equipment in tents. Also we have estimated way from the Camp 1 to the Camp 2 as very dangerous. It passes on icefall where places through cracks have thrown ladders. Now we have an evening. In the base camp there is pouring rain. We pray for snow because  it is not so wet...

Immediately 2 groups of the 7 Summits Club performed a successful ascent on the roof of Africa - Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 m).

11 participants out of 12 climbed to the highest point of the massif, which is called the Uhuru peak (which means "freedom" in Swahili). And one another of our climbers was able to climb to the edge of the crater to the key height of Stella Point.

 Congratulations to all climbers with the summit!

Alexander Abramov, head of the expedition to Manaslu, from the base camp:

Today there was a day of rest for members of our expedition. Tomorrow we are going for acclimatization to Camp 2. This is at 6400m. And today we conducted exercises on search in an avalanche with the use of avalanche sensors. Sergei Larin presented the theory and conducted practical training. Members found all the hidden sensors. The fact is that Camp 2 is in an avalanche place. In 2008, 22 people died there from an avalanche. In 2012 - 16. Therefore, all climbers will sleep with avalanche sensors with snow probes and shovels in the tent.

Alexander Abramov, the leader of the expedition on Manaslu from the base camp:

Today our team went down from the first outing to the camp 1, located at the altitude of 5600m. Road to camp is going along an open glacier, completely broken. But everywhere are fixed ropes. The overnight in the camp 1 was successful. The camp is very comfortable and safe. The camp has a large kitchen and dining tents with tables and chairs. In the morning the people were in euphoria, all stood on the ears. The mood of the team is excellent. The next day we go to camp 2 at 6400 m, to acclimatize. Everything is fine. All people are healthy and vigorous. The weather is perfect.

Today there  was a  nightmare night.  Wet snow  knocked down tents, broken the tent where Sherpas live, broken tent-sauna. Dr. Larin’s tent collapsed and crushed him with snow, so he thought that is an avalanche. All night we spentt, knocking the snow from  inside, dumping snow and save tents from destruction.

In the morning it was raining. But after breakfast  the sun was out and we were able to organize the Puja - opening  ceremony of the base camp. The tents are all restored. Our camp is a very comfortable. Tomorrow we will have training on ice. The next day - the first exit to the camp 1.

News of the expedition of the 7 summits Club on Manaslu 2017.

Today the team of the 7 summits Club moved to the Base Camp. Height - 4800м. Our Sherpas did their best and built a great camp, just super. Tomorrow I will send photos of the camp, and now sent our travel notes. We're all OK!

Maria Chelpanova shared impressions about climbing from themselves and their comrades. "Everything turned out well and the stars and the weather, which only pleased throughout the trip. And the guides were great! It was difficult, but well, we went up slowly, at your own pace".

And I cannot express all better than the words of the song of the Bremen town musicians.

There is nothing better in the whole world,

Than to roam with friends all over like [a] bird.

Those who've got friends aren't afraid of hassle,

Any road is dear to us gracile.

Any road is dear to us gracile.

We will not forget our true vocation,

We bring joy and laughter to the nation.

The enticing vaults of royal palace

Never will replace our freedom for us.

Never will replace our freedom for us.

Our carpet is a flower meadow,

Our walls are giant red pine tree growth.

Our roof's blue sky that's always there,

It's a bliss to live such joyful fate.

It's a bliss to live such joyful fate.
