The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The trekking part of the program ended, then the climbing part of the program began. A part of members of the group "SpeakegsY" climbed the summit of Lobuche East. An interesting and technical route.  Lots and lots of fixed ropes. By which we have successfully ascended to the goal. The weather was just ringing today: sunny and windless. But we still had to work hard. Now we are already in the village of the same name Lobuche. Next, we plan to fly to Lukla, and from there to Kathmandu.

Nikita Slotin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Papua New Guinea:

Greetings from the group "I love PNG", from the other side of the Earth!  On November 8, we arrived at Betty's lodge, where we tasted delicious trout from her farm. On November 9, we moved to the base camp of Wilhelm Peak. The last part of the way we walked in boots in the pouring rain. We had dinner and went to bed.

November 10th. At 1:00 the start from the camp. The trail began through the forest along the lake, which we saw only on the descent. After an hour of walking, a sharp climb up and up the rocky trail began. The starry sky illuminated our path, everyone made a wish. At dawn, a stunning view of the surroundings opened up and with the first rays of the sun we saw our peak, on which we stood after half an hour. The last part was rocky, where we had to climb up, but it was worth it! At 7:00, the whole team reached Wilhelm Peak. At 12:00 we went down to the base camp, ate trout caught in the lake and went further down.

Betty had caviar from the farm waiting for us and congratulations. Today we are already at the hotel, celebrating the successful ascent of Giluwe and Wilhelm, by the way, according to some sources, Wilhelm Peak is the highest point of Australia (Oceania).

Nikita Slotin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Papua New Guinea:

 Hello everyone from Wilhelm Peak from the group "I love PNG"! Today at 7:00 the group climbed to the top and watched the dawn there. Now we have already gone down to the lodge. I'll tell you more tomorrow.

The adventures of the 7 Summits Club team continue in Papua New Guinea, one of the most exotic countries in the world! After successfully climbing the highest volcano in Australia and Oceania, Giluwe, the group moved to the base camp of Mount Wilhelm, the highest peak in the country. Now the group is resting after the march. On the way, the members were caught in the rain, but the mood is optimistic, as is the weather forecast for the start of the ascent!

We wish our team good luck and are waiting for news!

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! Another day of trekking, and another new altitude. Today, the group "SpeakegsY" reached the village of Lobuche, height 4900. On the way, we visited the memorial to the lost climbers on Everest and Ama-Dablam.  Tomorrow we go to Gorakshep, from where - to the Everest Base Camp. 

Greetings from Ecuador! News from the team of Rustam and Ivan. On November 6, 2023, the guys climbed to the high-altitude camp of the highest peak of Ecuador - Chimborazo volcano (6310 m). Rustam reports that, unfortunately, he felt ill here because of altitude sickness. There was a fever, weakness, low oxygen. It looks like there are enough mountains this time.

The first signs of weakness appeared already at the entrances to Chimborazo, but despite this an attempt was made to climb. The night at the base camp showed everything. It was decided to turn around. Rustam writes that he is generally satisfied with the overall results of climbing the third peak of Ecuador, but it would not be a wise decision to take risks and move on. It was a difficult but rewarding experience.

 Now Rustam has safely descended from the mountain and is preparing to return home. The main conclusion is that it is necessary to concentrate only on the main goal - Chimborazo, without climbing other volcanoes. They really take a lot of energy.

We draw conclusions. Let's move on.

Nikita Slotin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Papua New Guinea:

 Greetings to all from Papua New Guinea from the group "I love PNG"! Today we had a busy day! We visited three local tribes at once. The history of the masked tribe is like this... Many, many years ago, this tribe began to be terrorized by other, larger tribes. And to protect themselves, they came up with the idea of dressing up as spirits, murdered tribesmen and scaring the invaders! Since then, they have kept these traditions and tell visitors about them. The second peace-loving tribe, who settled here about 100 years ago, dresses up in the feathers of the bird of paradise, which is depicted on the flag of the country. The third tribe, painted in the dead, symbolizes the connection with the ancestors, whom they buried openly across the river, without graves. The bones are still there. So they keep in touch with them. Tomorrow we plan to move to the lodge for climbing Wilhelm Peak.

 The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! Our group continues walking towards the Everest Base Camp.  In the morning we left Namche Bazaar and went to the village of Deboche. The path ran through rhododendron forests. The trail is very busy, along the way and a lot of tourists were moving up and down. Tomorrow we have to reach the village of Periche.

Nikita Slotin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Papua New Guinea:

 Greetings to all from Papua New Guinea from the group "I love PNG"!  There is a summit! We're already at the hotel. Tomorrow is an excursion day.  More details also tomorrow.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Mexico:

Today (already yesterday - 05.11) the team "Alexandra and end" had a joyful day. We were standing on the top of the Orizaba volcano. All 15 members of the expedition who left the assault camp reached the highest point. We didn't lose anyone along the way, we went to the summit together, we came together. The weather is beautiful, the views are incredible, the goals have been achieved.

News from Ecuador. The team of Rustam and Ivan are going according to their plan. Before Chimborazo, the guys will have to climb first Kayamba volcano (5790 m), then rest and only then climb Chimborazo. It is very important to find that line and balance between good acclimatization and physical fatigue. It is very important that before the main peak you are well acclimatized and full of energy and strength to perform the main task.

The guys reached the top of Kayambe volcano (5790 m). Congratulations to Rustam on his achievement! According to Rustam, it was a powerful challenge and he felt better this time!

Now it is very important to rest, sleep and gain strength for Chimborazo! The preparation stage is over, we are nearing the key moment!

Also in the local monastery they looked at the scalp of a yeti. Then we returned to our hotel in Namche Bazaar. Tomorrow we have a move to Deboche.

 Greetings to all from a mountain village on the other side of the world, from the group "I love PNG"! Today we have a busy day. We moved to a mountain lodge, from where our trekking will begin tomorrow. We visited the village and the wedding of our friend Mr. Pym's son. Locals traditionally cooked momo, which is pork baked in stones. We got acquainted with the tribes living in the nearest villages, plunged into the atmosphere of the history and culture of the inhabitants. By the way, pigs are the dowry for the wedding here, a huge number of pigs. The cost of one can reach $ 3,000. We are looking forward to tomorrow's trekking. I hope to be lucky with the weather.

The “Alexandra and Dot” team is almost ready for the final dash to the top of the Orizaba volcano. It remains tomorrow to have a good rest. Today we touched the glacier during an acclimatization walk. We decided to act according to the plan: tomorrow we rest, the day after tomorrow we go to the summit. It is necessary to have time to enjoy the comfort of the base camp.

Urgent! There is a summit! The team of the 7 Summits Club climbed the highest peak in Africa, Kilimanjaro volcano (5895 m). Three of the four team members were standing on Uhuru Peak at nine in the morning and the whole group visited the edge of the crater at Stella Point.

The ascent was made in difficult weather conditions. Now the group has just descended to the Horombo camp (3800 m), everyone is tired and soaked in the rain. Now dinner and a well-deserved rest.

Details follow! The information was transmitted by the group guide Evgeny Fedyunin.
