So, on Thursday 21 July our expedition to Kamchatka with Club 7 Summits and the company Alpari has been completed.

Unfortunately we have no luck with the weather. Almost all the time there were heavy rains.

However, the songs of the Ra in the guitar, Zhora-radio and dirty dances in the performance of Patrick helped us not hang down our head.
A small story in photographs about how it was:

Day of arrival of the group to Kamchatka 13 July turned out to be extremely successful in terms of the weather.

In the first day immediately from the plane the whole group went to Mount "Camel"
