All news

Anastasia Kuznetsova: news from Iran, a lot of them and they are endless. Now I want to say only that the group was on top of the highest volcano of Asia Damavand in full. All alive, healthy and happy. After the descent we had a rich program with sauna, visit the local Bazaar and dinner in an excellent panoramic restaurant on the TV tower of Tehran.

  In general, Iran is a very friendly and diverse place. And it is waiting for us! Today, unfortunately, the whole group is almost gone (dare I say that we were good together). Today, the remaining participants will have to review all the fun in the ancient city of Isfahan and tomorrow for the flight home.

Hospitable, rich in sights, comfortable and safe to travel country – it is Armenia.

The program travels in Armenia  include trekking in the mountains, mountain climbing, visiting of high-mountainous lake Sevan, as well as the lost monasteries and fortresses. And stunning panoramas, the views from mountain peaks.

In the program you try the delicious natural wine, barbecue and other delights of Armenian cuisine.

With you on the route there will be local guides who know their country.

Guaranteed programs - all summer long.

So a season of climbing groups of the 7 summits Club on Lenin peak began. This Saturday four members of the first expedition arrived in Osh, they are now in the base camp and started to acclimatization. In total we will have 6 groups, two of them under the leadership of Alexander Abramov.

By the way, you can still join the August group to the ascent program with local guides.

The program

Lyudmila Korobeshko: Yesterday we climbed Mount Kazbek. In the afternoon we flew by helicopter from Kazbegi. At one o'clock we began to move from a plateau 4500 and at about 5pm we were  on the top. All the climbers were slow due to strong winds. By 9 pm we went down to the meteorological station, then continued descent and after midnight came to Kazbegi. Okay, it was a great walk!

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 summits Club: a group of "Adventures of Italians in Russia" attempted the ascent of Elbrus from the North. We reached 5300, but from-for a strong wind (after second attempt) turned around and went down to the valley. All climbers performed perfectly, all fought! With such companions you could go to the mountains, even in military reconnaissance.

Two groups of the 7 summits Club made an ascent to the Western summit of mount Elbrus. One of them was led by tour guide Andrey Berezin, the other –  by Alexander Dorozhukov. They met at the top. Weather conditions were extremely difficult, but the more valuable the victory!

Today, Luda Korobeshko and Alex Abramov with friends made the first Russian climb Cime du Gelas– the highest peak in the French Maritime Alps. The ascent lasted 12 hours and was devoted to our friend Sasha Yelkov which is exactly 60 years old today!

Kazbek. Storm in the night storm broke the plans of climbers. Eight of nine participants decided to walk down to Kazbegi. One is left for a second attempt tonight. The remaining climber has already collected all seven of the highest peaks of all continents.

Anastasia Kuznetsova, guide of  the 7 summits Club:

 News from Iran. Today we moved from bustling Tehran in the peaceful mountains. We settled down in the shelter of the mountaineering Federation of Iran near the village of Polur, at an altitude of about 2200 meters. Above us hangs Damavand and beckons us to himself. The summit is now smoking, that is, the volcano lives. We have seen this with a dip in the hot springs in the neighboring village, which is located near geothermal hot springs.

 In the evening we were waited by a dinner of traditional Iranian home-cooked meals. For example, the main dish was a stew of beans and 10 kinds of local herbs. Now we are ready to start tomorrow to the base camp of Damavand at the height of 4200 m.

Hello! Here is a guide of the 7 Summits Club in the Elbrus region. Andrey Berezin: Today our group made an acclimatization trip to the Pastukhov Rocks. All night there was a thunder and wind. In the morning the wind warmed and slightly died down. Along the way we met a group of Alexander Dorozhukov, who also climbed the Rocks of Pastukhov.
