The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today in the afternoon our supergroup "Inseparable" came to the high-mountain lodge Gorakshep (5100 m.). And after a short rest, we climbed Mount Kalapathar (5644 m.) And not in vain, to see Everest in the setting sun, it is worth a lot! Tomorrow our roads will lead us only down.

The 7 Summits Club group thanked the local team at the Horombo Refuge for their invaluable help throughout the program and during the ascent. As usual, we danced and sang together, and took photos. Then there was a descent through the humid jungle and the long-awaited comfortable hotel. In the evening, a ceremonial event was held to present certificates, medals and mutual gratitude. As usual, the party was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Smiles, laughter, handshakes and hugs, and even dancing, despite the fatigue!

 We join in congratulating Alexander Abramov - 3 highest volcanoes of the continents in 2 weeks! Keep it up!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

 Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today our super-group "Inseparable" crossed the Cho-La pass (5420 m). This day will be remembered by all participants as the most difficult in our hike. But we overcame all the difficulties and are ready for further adventures.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin: 11/5-6/2024. Jambo Rafiki!

There was no connection, a hundred thousand sorry! During these two days, the "Chameleons" group of the 7 Summits Club climbed to the Kibo assault camp at 4730 m. On the way there, we had lunch in a beautiful gazebo located in the saddle between Mount Mawenzi at 5145 m and the main summit of the Kilimanjaro massif, Uhuru Peak at 5895 m.

On the night of 6.11, we set out to assault in two groups, an hour apart, and by 8.00 we reunited on the crater in the Gilmans point area at 5685 m.

And by 10 am, our entire friendly team stood at the highest point of Africa, Uhuru Peak at 5895 m in the Kilimanjaro massif! Unfortunately, one girl, due to health reasons, turned back from a height above 5000 m. By evening, tired but happy, we descended to the Horombo camp at 3720 m, where a varied and delicious dinner awaited us.

Happy everyone! Today we go down to the Marangu gate and leave for our favorite hotel Aishe Machame.

Good luck to everyone!

Your super-guides Alexander Abramov and Evgeny Fedyunin.

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our super-group "Inseparable", as part of acclimatization, climbed the mountain Gokyo Ri (5357 m). After the descent and a short rest, we moved to the new lodge Dragnag (4700 m). Tomorrow is a difficult day - crossing the Chola Pass.

The 7 Summits Club group "Chameleons" (guide Evgeny Fedyunin) and Alexander Abramov's group made a successful joint ascent on the summit of Kilimanjaro. Ten participants and guides reached the highest point of the Uhuru Peak massif at 10 a.m. local time.

For Alexander Abramov, this is the third mountain of the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" project. The first was Elbrus on October 25. Three volcanoes in 13 days it is a good pace!

And for dinner, we generally ate borscht, which our girls cooked, giving a master class to our chef! In addition, the whole team watched several films of the "7 Summits Club" projects together. Everything is positive. Tomorrow we move to the Kibo assault camp at 4700m.Good luck to everyone!

 Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our supergroup "Inseparables", having made a short trek, reached to Gokyo. The day before, snow fell, which changed the surrounding views. In Gokyo we stayed in a luxurious hotel, overlooking the famous Gokyo Lake. The participants and guides were in a great mood. A hot shower revives and gives new strength.

Today, the branch of NP 1 of the Mountaineering School of the 7 Summits Club in Tuyuk-Su set out at dawn to climb Peak Oktyabryonok, 2A difficulty category. And then stood at the top in full force! All participants felt good and are eager to fight again. Tomorrow is a rest day according to the plan. Guides Alexey Lonchinsky and Viktor Volodin.

03.11. Jambo Rafiki! The "Chameleons" group of the 7 Summits Club, today passed through the heather thickets of moorland along the eastern slope of Mount Kilimanjaro and climbed to the Horombo camp at 3720m. Almost simultaneously, our group was caught up here by Alexander Abramov, who is doing the "7 volcanoes in 77 days" project in parallel with our program. He has just climbed the 2nd peak of the project – Damavand, and now we are going to Kili together!

The altitude is making itself felt a little, but everyone is feeling well, and so is their appetite. Good luck to everyone!

Good day to all from the mountaineering school of Tuyuk-Su! Today we had another day of rock training. The program included: working in ropes and descending along a fixed rope. The day turned out to be productive. After lunch, everyone got busy preparing for tomorrow's training ascent. Guides Alexey Lonchinsky and Viktor Volodin.

The president of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Tanzania:

Kilimanjaro. Our team of the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days" climbed to the Horombo camp 3800 m. The weather is very kind for us so far. There is no rain. There is no wind.

The camp is very comfortable. We live in small houses on beds. The food is very tasty. The team is in a great mood. Today we will watch a film about Everest, which Ilya Gladkikh shot in the spring during our spring expedition.

Today our team does nothing but dance and sing. I love this atmosphere on Kilimanjaro. Thanks to our local team, who make our ascent a holiday.

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

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our group "Inseparable" made a trek from the village of Dole to the high-mountain lodge Machermo (4470 m). Today was not a difficult day, the trek took two and a half hours. Now the team has half a day of rest, time for reading books and board games.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alex Abramov and videographer Ilya Gladkikh have arrived in Tanzania. The goal: to climb the third volcano in the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days".

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, on a rest day, our group visited the Everest View high-mountain hotel, located at an altitude of 3885 meters. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to see Everest and other peaks. But on the way back, we visited a monastery in the village of Khumjun, where we saw an exposed yeti scalp. The day was meaningful, full of impressions. Tomorrow is a new trek, we are moving along the path to our goal.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov from Iran:

Today we climbed Damavand - 5609m!!! On October 31 at 12:00 Iranian time, Ilya Gladkikh and I climbed the highest volcano in Asia. This is the second mountain from the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" project. The weather was not good at all, the climb was out of season. The wind was up to 60 km per hour. The temperature at the summit was minus 25. And there was already snow. I had three warm pants on. I have never put on so many! It was really hard to walk. But we managed.

Now we are urgently heading to Kilimanjaro!

Two volcanoes in 8 days - let's move on!

On the flip calendar, October 31. And a big hello to everyone from the Tuyuk-SU Mountaineering School!

With you were the 7 Summits Club guides Viktor Volodin, Ratmir Mukhametzyanov and Alexey Lonchinsky. See you in the mountains!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today our new supergroup with the working title "Inseparable", despite all the difficulties, reached the village of Phakding. There we settled in comfortable conditions, in the excellent lodge of the Sherpa Guide.

Ama Dablam. Yesterday I returned from the acclimatization rotation. I spent one night in C1 at 5800. In the morning, my Sherpa and I reached C2 at 6050 in two hours, there were almost no people on the ropes. The climb is not easy - many uncomfortable traverses and walls, and on the Yellow Tower we even had to sweat a little and hang.

By lunchtime we had already descended to the BC to rest. There was just a group of familiar guys led by Denis Aleksenko. In the evening, Katya and Masha joined us, who had climbed the summit of Ama Dablam in the morning at an incredibly fast pace. And a little later, Vika Bonya from the neighboring Nims camp came to dinner, bringing lard as a gift to Denis's group. You can tell right away - an experienced climber! In the mountains, lard is the most important and useful product. This morning, we saw off Denis's group to the assault. And a little later, the sisters flew to Kathmandu. Today is my day of rest. Tomorrow - the move to C1, the day after tomorrow - C3 and the assault at night.
