Lyudmila Korobeshko, a Guide and Director of the 7 Summits Club:

News from Ecuador. On the last day of the year, our Ecuadorian team got its name - Stunning SuperCuy.

 And this day we celebrated by climbing of Rucu Pichincha 4700. To a height of 4000  was reached by 20 people, including children. On up went 16 pigs and even the eldest of the children Nizhankowski Ilya, 13 years old.

100 meters to the top we were overtaken by a severe thunderstorm, so we had to wear helmets and run down. New Year in Moscow we began to celebrate in the cabins of the cable-car and continued near our bus, gathered around a pile of curious Ecuadorians. The heavy rain poured Quito until midnight and later.

Nevertheless, the most persistent of our team went out at midnight to Ecuador to square Fodzh where arranged fireworks and burning scarecrows.

Today, January 1 we leave Quito and drive towards Cotopaxi to the village of Machachi. And tomorrow there is already in the plans ascent to our first fivethousander - Iliniza Norte 5126.

Happy New Year to all!

Hello! Today the team of the 7 Summits Club in the amount of four participants and one guide, Alexander Abramov, climbed the summit of Vinson Massif. The weather... the morning was not very good, but on top of ... calm. In General,  Alexander Abramov finished his Antarctic project. And Vladimir Kotlyar and Artem Rostovtsev still work with another group. In General, everything is fine. Okay, bye! With a holiday!

Nastya Kuznetsova, guide of the 7 Summits Club: New year's Mexican. Today we celebrated the New year several times along every Russian town at different heights of the mountain La Malinche (4500 m) where we went for the acclimatization before Orizaba. Independently from each other, all agreed on the opinion that this is one of the most beautiful mountains they have ever seen (and they saw  a lot).

Happy New year to all!
