All news: July 2015

To credited ascent of Mount Abu Ibn Sina and get a certificate, you need to provide photos with a bust of Vladimir Lenin, which is on top of this mountain. This picture has been successfully done by a team of the Seven Summits Club on July 27 at 14:00 local time. At the top were: Valera, Dima, Maxim and I, Sergei. High altitude has made with our team very tough selection. Lena was waiting in the camp at 4400. Liana took a wise decision not to continue climbing in the camp of 6100, due to the worsening of bronchitis. Michail decided to stop climbing after a strong cold wind and snow hurt his eyes.

12-hour climb from Camp 6100 to the summit has required a lot of energy. And the return was very tense. But now everything is behind us, the entire team is at the base camp, at 3660, on the grass. All is well. Summiters are happy. Not summiters are happy that managed to maintain health. Best regards! Sergei Larin.

Hi, everybody!

It is Oleg Koshkarev, a guide of the 7 Summits Club. Today I come with a good news. We were on the top of Mount Elbrus. Weather was excellent: an easy breeze, the sun, without any cloud.

Now we are already on LeapRus shelter and preparing for descent in Terskol. Best regards!

A guide of 7 Summits Club Oleg Koshkarev reports: Today we have a third acclimatization outing. We climbed up to Pastukhov Rocks up to 5000 meters altitude. The group is very strong, we walked quickly. The weather was excellent.

Today, July 23, early in the morning, 17 members of Taganrog group from Lemax company climbed Uhuru Peak of Mount Kilimanjaro (5895 meters). Four members of the expedition reached Stella Point (5685 meters), another participant turned from a mark of 5300 meters. And one participant came yesterday down in Moshi.

Considering that the experience in climbing the group was small, it is a very good result.
Congratulations to the team with the summit!

The group is now going down to the camp Millennium Health, there is no problems in the group.

The ascent was accomplished in honor of the 60th anniversary of the founder and CEO of the company Leonid Matusevich.

Sergei Larin:

Hi, Seven Summits! Take the information from the expedition to the peak of Avicenna. Quickly flew two days of rest in the base camp at an altitude of 3600. And now we are advancing upward, already for climbing  assault. The weather is constantly changing, the weather is unstable, so we had to wait a  “window”  in the upper camps.

Hi, Seven Summits! It is Artem Rostovtsev from the northern slopes of Mount Elbrus. Today we were at the top of Europe (Western Elbrus), and then descended to the north. The weather was good, we were on top at  seven o'clock in the morning. My friends did a lot of pictures and video. Then we calmly went to the North shelter. We were satisfied with today, the weather was just fine, we do not want to leave mountains. Tomorrow we will go down below, into the Emmanuel  Glade, rest there ....

The day after tomorrow we'll be in civilization.

All members of the group of 7 Summits Club successfully climbed the highest peak in the Russian Altai - mountain Belukha. The weather was beautiful, and almost all the way the sun was shining. Today  the second group starts. We hope that this time  the mountain will allow to climb to the top.

This weekend we opened the season of the 7 Summits Club climbs in the Alps.

However, the beginning is not quite turned out as expected. We had planned to blitz ascent of Mont Blanc, but due to the dangerous condition of the route, all the ascent of Mont Blanc in those days were banned.

Quickly changing the plans, the group went to Italy to the summit of Grand Paradiso.

Congratulations to Anna and Boris on the successful ascent!

The 7 Summits Club guide Sergey Larin reports: .... Now we have 6:53 a.m.. We go down from the camp on Razdelnaya Peak, from an altitude of 6100 meters. There we held a successful acclimatization overnight. Our whole team feels good. The only thing - Elena has not participated in the outing, she is now in the camp at 4400. She is still normal, having no signs of altitude sickness. Just her body needs more time to acclimatize.

Up 6000 meters, the weather turned bad, now there was a strong wind - even blew off some tents. But we are in good health and went down, to rest. After a rest, we'll have to make way to the summit. Today we will try to go down as low as possible. Best regards!

Good morning! This is Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the program Climbing Elbrus with traverse into the North.. We did the traverse, by the whole team. But with the ascent to the very top we got a little snag. We were attacked by a storm, very strong, so ...

Well, in general, on the whole, we had a real climbing action. Fortunately, this happens rarely.

Well, nothing. We all passed this test with dignity. We waded through the storm, passed over crevasses in ... in conditions of absolute no visibility. In the end, we were safely down to the North side, had a walk around, visited the "mushrooms". And now, we are in the city of Kislovodsk. We are resting, warming the bones, enjoy what we've done. All are very happy. Especially me. That all.
Be happy! So long!

Hi, Seven Summits! It is Artem Rostovtsev from the slopes of Mount Elbrus. I worked with a small group of two people. Unfortunately, one "passenger" was not able to get out on the ascent. But I and Vasya Petrov, we went to the top the Western Peak and then (as a bonus) to the Eastern summit. At the moment, we went down somewhere at the height of 4800-4900. Hello from the slopes of Mount Elbrus!

Hello! This is Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of Climb Elbrus program. My group Todos Huntos made a successful ascent. We did it yesterday, in strong winds and not very favorable weather. But, nevertheless, we made the ascent at a very good pace. Well done! All members of the group. And we went down, unfortunately, not as planned - to the North, but back to the South. Due to bad weather, we decided that would be safer go back, where more people, less cracks. So we went down to Terskol, everything well.
