We combined several separate fragments of the expedition into one video. It seems that it conveys a festive atmosphere in the group, which determined the overall success of the ascent.

21.02 we moved from Mexico City under La Malinche. On the way we stopped to see the largest pyramid in Mexico in Cholula. The Spaniards built a Church on top of a hill in the 16th century. 22.02 we climbed to the top of La Malinche...

 Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club from Tanzania:

 Our expedition to Kilimanjaro is coming to an end.  It was great!  All 20 climbers (17 members and 3 guides) reached the top. It was difficult. But all are satisfied and happy. And all  people became much friends....

Dmitry Tertychny climbed Mount Everest on May 17, 2018, when he was 17 years 1 month and 6 days.  He became one of the youngest climbers in the history of the highest mountain of the planet. At the same time Dmitry simultaneously completed the program "Seven summits", becoming the second youngest age after the American Jordan Romero.

 Alexander Tertychny (father of Dmitry): after returning home, we discussed with Alexander Abramov the further path of the climbers who closed the project "7 summits" and reached the top of the world. With his words, for a large number of amateurs  this is an end  of their climbing carriers. But we decided to go the other way, we started our new project – our goal for today is the highest volcano in North America and the highest mountain in Mexico, Orisaba…

 So ahead of dad and  son  is a few ascents to the highest volcanoes of the continents, and new records.

 Alexander Tertychny (Dmitry's father): "from early childhood we instilled in our son a love for sports. Dima has been playing football since he was five. As part of the football club "Dynamo" he became a two-time champion of Moscow. He has the first category in chess.  We first went to the mountains when he was 12 years old. I'm proud of my son's courage. Not every adult can psychologically and physically overcome all the difficulties we faced while climbing. He knows how to set goals and achieve them»

Information from Alexander Abramov: the whole group ("Children of Adam" or "Children of Abram") of 17 participants and 3 guides (Abramov Alexander,  Abramov Denis and Kuznetsova Anastasia) reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro via Marangu.

 We are waiting for details!

Andrey Berezin, 7 Summits Club guide from Argentina:

 On February 19, 2019, the final group of the season in Aconcagua climbed the summit. We came out of the camp Nido de Condores at 2.20, as the next day promised a strong wind (this is normal for Aconcagua), and at 12.20 days were on top.

The 7 Summits Club  guide Dmitry Ermakov from Tanzania:

 7 summits, Hello! Here is Dmitry Ermakov from the Karanga camp. Our group of "swift-footed deers" today came out the last from the Barranco camp, because we didn’t want  to stand in line on the Barranco wall and two hours (first) ran to the next camp. The weather is stable, it rains in the afternoon. Now we will rest a bit and go for a walk above. The mood is excellent!

Anastasia Kuznetsova, guide and manager of the 7 Summits Club:

  That is all! We did it – we finally got on the route!  All documents are completed, the ultimate goal is defined.  Today we passed the zone of Equatorial forests. On the road met the blue monkeys and the elegant endemics of Kilimanjaro - black-and-white colobus monkeys.  We ascended a kilometer and reached the first camp on the upper border of the forest -  Mandara Hut at 2800 m. And for Mandara there is news. First, there were sockets, which were not there before (they are few, but they are). And secondly, (and most importantly) there's  new huts, which is still not officially opened. We had to solve this issue informally, and we were the first group that settled there. Tomorrow we will move to Horombo at 3800….

 Hello everyone, from Aconcagua, from El Fuego group! Yesterday we went up to our high-altitude camp (Nido de Condores) at 5500 meters. There is now a little warmer and you can eat right outdoor, because in the tents are hot. For dinner, for breakfast and lunch thanks to our guide-chef - handyman-all-trades Andrey Berezin!

  We spent here a night, unfortunately, not all slept well, because the height. And in the morning we went for acclimatization on 6000 meters, to camp of Colera. We very quickly went there and back, in just 2.5 hours! And for a couple of hours we returned to the Base camp - Plaza de Mulas where we will accumulate the oxygen and strength to further climb after a day of rest. The forecasts are not good again, so today we went to 6000 meters for better acclimatization. We may have to go  to the summit from 5500 meters - well, let's see, while we hope for the best!

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Ermakov from Tanzania:

 Hello 7 Summits Club, from Irina Zisman and Vladimir Kotlyar from Bolivia! Today, February 14^th  at 8:45 am local we climbed  Huayna Potosi! The mountain let us in, the day was wonderful, but not easy. All groups except ours (three or four groups with young and strong participants) turned around, without having reached about 100 meters to the top. We decided to try and achieved a victory. The three of us became the only summiters in the last week, although attempts were made by different groups every day. Irina - just well done! She fought like a real Valkyrie! Now we have arrived in La Paz and really want to sleep. And tomorrow at six in the morning we start to the "road of death" on bicycles.

Evgeny Lesnitsky and Alexey Sivkov under the guidance of two instructors of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Lastochkin and Boris Egorov made a bold attempt to climb one of the most inaccessible peaks of the world – Fitz-Roy.  And as usual, Eugene Lesnitsky mounted a musical film on the theme of this heroic attempt:
