Sergey Larin: Hello Seven Summits! Information from Irian Jaya. The active part of our program is over. Today we went to Sugapa. Tomorrow on a small single-engine aircraft we fly to Timika and then to Bali ... We all good, everything goes according to plan ....

Hello! Luba Pershin from Peru. Today we returned to Cuzco from Machu Picchu. We had a very hard day, but very interesting. We climbed the mountain Huayna Picchu, which towers over the citadel of Machu Picchu. Not easy climbing, frankly, after trekking. But we were in the most beautiful location of Machu Picchu. Also we hike with our guide at the citadel. We looked at everything that we can. The weather was wonderful. None of raindrops. Although again I repeat, there is now deep enough wet season.

Hello! Today, November 3, 10 hours and 30 minutes of local time of the Seven Summits team stood a top of Ngugi Ngugi, as the locals call Carstensz Pyramid. Now we are at the base camp and have a lunch. I remind our composition: Father Alexander, his son Dmitri, Konstantin and yours truly - Sergei. As for Dmitri, his birthday is April 11, 2001. Our guide Poxy says he had led a 12-year-old American in August of 2009 *. But they did not go a trek and reached base camp by helicopter. So there is cause for reflection. Finally congratulations we will take when we were in Timika. This is approximately a Saturday. The return trip will also not fast. But we have already formed a new goal - is Bali. By! Sergej Larin.

* Jordan Romero climbed to the top of the Pyramid Carstensz September 1, 2009 at the age of 13 years and 40 days.
