Buenos Dias from the slopes of Aconcagua!  Yesterday, our group "Androids of Aconcagua" made an acclimatization rotation to Plaza Canada, an altitude of 5000 meters.  The weather was beautiful.  Not an acclimatization way out, but a pleasure walk.  Today we rest in the Plaza de Mulas, and tomorrow we go out to the Nido de Condores with an overnight stay. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.

Olga Startseva, a manager of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Chile:

Hola! The Despacito group from Chile, Atacama Desert is in touch. We are slowly but surely moving towards our goal, fulfilling all the points of the program. Today, the full group spent the night at the Tejos shelter, 5837 meters above sea level. For many, such a high-altitude overnight stay was the first time. The weather did not spoil us, it was snowy and cool. But in the shelter house it was warm, sincere, fun and very tasty. It's amazing how at such a height our head chef Elena Abramova pleases us with a delicious dinner. And, of course, it was very extreme to drive cars to a height exceeding Elbrus. The starry sky over Ojos was the highlight of the night.

In the morning, we all went down to our camp on Laguna Verde, which has already become our home. Now we are resting and gaining strength before the decisive day of our program. We stay in touch. The guides of the group are Nikita Slotin and Boris Egorov.

Dmitry Semenov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Argentina:

  Buenos Dias from the slopes of Aconcagua!  The Androids of Aconcagua group got closer to the summit for another day. We had a long walk from the Confluencia camp to the Plaza de Mulas camp.  The route is long, but very interesting: the terrain and colors of the surroundings were constantly changing. As a result: 19 km were completed in 8 hours. We stayed in comfortable cabins in the camp. Today we have a well-deserved rest. Tomorrow we will continue the acclimatization rotations. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.

 Sergey Vasiliev climbed the summit of the highest volcano in South America, Ojos del Salado, and thus completed the Seven Volcanoes program. The ascent took place with the help of a local guide and took place at an accelerated pace, after acclimatization in time on a successful expedition to Sidley in Antarctica. And thus, another our compatriot, a representative of the 7 Summits Club, was added to the company of climbers to all the highest volcanoes of all continents.

We cordially congratulate Sergey on the implementation of the Seven Volcanoes program and look forward to visiting us!

Andrey Berezin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Argentina:

Buenos Dias from the slopes of Aconcagua!  The Aconcagua Androids group continues to acclimatize and prepare for the ascent.  Today we made a rotation towards Plaza France, this is the Southern Face of Aconcagua.  We have passed the medical check and are ready to go to the Plaza de Mulas base camp.  The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.

  Artem Rostovtsev: the next tourist season in Antarctica has ended. We went skiing with a group under the "Last Degree" program to the South Pole, climbed in full force on two consecutive expeditions to the top of the Vinson massif. And there was also one successful ascent of the 7 Summits Club group on the Sidley volcano under the leadership of Lyudmila Korobeshko.

Everything went great. We didn't lose anyone, we didn't forget, we didn't freeze them. The equipment was packed in storage on the glacier and in Punta Arenas until the next season. And we brought a lot of impressions and photos/videos with us.

 The second group on Vinson. Some photos.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, sends from Tanzania:

Greetings from Tanzania! Today, our small but very cheerful group climbed Kilimanjaro in difficult weather conditions. Despite the difficult conditions that haunt us all the way, we were lucky. And in the intervals between clouds and snowfall, we managed to see a piece of dawn over Mawenzi - an unforgettable sight. And there are glaciers and a crater covered with snow.

There is an unprecedented amount of snow on Kilimanjaro right now. Because of this, the participants even had to use crampons on the descent from the mountain. It turned out to be a real mountaineering.

At the camp, we were greeted by a team with songs and dances. And after a short rest, we continued our descent and came to the Millennium camp, where we will spend the last night of our hike.

Nikita Slotin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Chile:

Greetings from the Despacito group from Laguna Rosa camp! Birds are singing, the sun is shining, scorpions are running, guanacos are jumping, flamingos are eating crustaceans, and we are slowly but surely moving towards our goal. In general, everything is going according to plan! Today we made an acclimatization trip to the top of the Seven Brothers at 4800. After lunch, we drove around the neighborhood, visited an abandoned gold mining enterprise, took a walk, rode and returned to the camp. We are resting. Tomorrow we will move to the best camp on Laguna Verde.

After successfully climbing Sidley in Antarctica, Sergey Vasiliev went to Chile to climb Ojos del Salado and complete the Seven Volcanoes program. He has an individual program with a local guide. In the process of acclimatization, Sergey climbed one of the volcanoes in the region.

 Sergey Vasiliev from Chile: Hello everyone! Today I ascended Pedras Negras Paradas 5950 m as an acclimatization. It turned out to be a volcano! 1000 m of drop! We found a jar in a cairn, signed up. There were 10 people before us in 1985!
