Hello, Alexander Abramov calls from the top of the Mont Blanc, there are eight members and three of our guide. We all ascend!

In the morning the weather was very bad. Actually we delay for 3 hours, instead of the 3 am we went out at 6, and it worked, because the weather became better. You should hear, here is people laugh and rejoice.

In the beginning, when we came out from the camp, was a real snowstorm, and every moment there was such impression, that we get down and turn around. In general, we are on top, wind practically are not present, the sun is shining, everyone is happy, call family and friends. Lists of members, who ascent will be a little later. We begin to descent, in fact descent he is rather complicated and dangerous, so it is too early yet to congratulate us. Contact when go down. Good-bye".

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"

Closer to midnight Avachinsky volcano opened, the one which we had to climb a few hours. But already in full fog and rain((

Ascending to the rop of Avacha was not easy

Rafting river "Fast"

All three days of rafting, we went by in mosquito net, even slept and smoking in them.
