The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov reports from Chile:

Chile is in touch. This is our new group named Pipi de Chat. We have started the expedition to the highest volcano in the world, Ojos del Salado. Yesterday was the day of the group's arrivals, and today we have already moved to the beautiful place of Santa Rosa. On the way we stopped at an abandoned mine and by lunchtime we arrived at our beautiful camp.

January 5. Hello everyone from the Atacama Desert, Chile, from the group "Zorros Rojos y otros"! Today, the brave Red Foxes went to acclimatize for the assault on the summit of "7 Brothers" at an altitude of 4900. But before that, we did morning exercises under the guidance of Olga and Vlad Moroz. After breakfast, we put on gifts from Red Fox (personalized hats) and went up. And we successfully climbed to the top of “brothers” under a light morning breeze.

By lunchtime we went down to our camp, where Lena cooked us a great lunch - chicken soup and dolma. Soon our second group of the 7 Summits Club arrived under the leadership of Sasha Dorojukov. We found many acquaintances from other expeditions here. We will go with them almost in parallel. Tomorrow we move to the Laguna Verde camp at 4300. Expedition leader Lyudmila Korobeshko and assistant leader Alexander Spirin. Hasta la vista!

Hola! Hello everyone from sunny Argentina! Our large 7 Summits Club group gathered in the Argentine city of Mendoza. From here begins the route to Aconcagua, the highest peak in South America. Group guides Andrey Berezin and Viktor Volodin.

The whole group is pleasantly surprised by our service! Here we live in large comfortable tents, there is a large dining tent, toilets and even a shower! At sunset, we saw the main summit of Kibo, Uhuru Peak 5895 m! Our route along the southern circumnavigation is exactly there!

Everyone is feeling great, now we will have dinner and discuss the plan for tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone!

January 4. Chile, expedition to Ojos Del Salado. Long-awaited news from the "Zorros Rojos y otros" team. Finally, we are all here. All 13 of us. Our path lies in the Laguna Santa Rosa de los Flamengos and the refugio mas comodo de la Montaña en solar Maricunga. Our "Zorros Rojos y otros" team paved the way to the Laguna Rosa through the depths of blue caves, abandoned cities, resting in an oasis, crossing passes. And finally, we have reached the cherished goal. Now the whole team is enjoying dinner under the Milky Way at an altitude of 3800 m near Laguna Rosa. This is fantastic! In the shade of five six-thousanders, we praise the culinary masterpieces of our professional team of high-altitude chefs, and the flamingos quack in unison. Beauty!

We are chilling in Chile!

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

Greetings from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today, our super-group "Dohodyagi" climbed to the Berlin high-altitude camp (5930 m). And at night we set out to storm the summit of Aconcagua (6962 m).

Jambo Rafiki! Friends, greetings to everyone from Tanzania!

The new group (the name is still being discussed) of the 7 Summits Club flew to the foot of Kilimanjaro today to trek and climb the Machame route!

The day flew by with organizational issues, checking equipment and a little relaxation in the park of the cozy hotel "Aishe Machame"! Here turtles crawl on the lawns, toucans fly overhead, monkeys climb trees. And early in the morning, having climbed to the roof, you can see the summit of Kilimanjaro - beauty!

 In the evening we watched the "Masai show" - a performance of the nomadic people of Tanzania and Kenya. Over dinner we got to know each other better. Each participant told about himself, and then decided on plans for tomorrow.

Tomorrow we start at the entrance to the national park and set out on the route!

The 7 Summits Club guide Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Chile:

News from Chile. The group led by Lyudmila Korobeshko almost in full force gathered in the town of Baye Inglesas. This is an amazing place - a village on the Pacific coast, a very picturesque and cozy bay located in the Atacama Desert. An incredible combination of desert and ocean. You definitely need to see it with your own eyes! The team is close-knit, with more than one joint ascent behind them, including Makalu, Everest and many other mountains. We counted - for the team of seven Everests! And now it was time to climb the highest volcano on our planet - Ojos del Salado. The team name was born, literally, in a couple of minutes - "Zorros Rojos y otros". The first person to guess why the team chose this name will win a souvenir from Chile.

The 7 Summits Club team is in Antarctica for the second day at the Union Glacier Base. We are waiting for the flight to Sidley. This is the highest volcano in Antarctica, which is located 1,100 kilometers from the base. So far, the weather is bad there. There is no wind, but it is completely cloudy. We are trying to stay in shape, getting ready. We are running in the snow, riding bicycles. We are eating and sleeping.

And we are hoping for a quick flight down the mountain.

Guides: Abramov Alex, Rostovtsev Artem, Egorov Boris and Polyakov Andrey.
