The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov reports from Argentina:

New Year greetings, from the slopes of Aconcagua!  Today our Mañana group is the third day on the route. We arrived at the base camp Plaza de Mulas (4300m.) Until today, Aconcagua seemed to me to be a very windy, dusty and hot mountain.  But today, on New Year's Eve, we had snow along the route, and in the base camp we were greeted by real winter. The group coped with the task perfectly. Tomorrow in the New Year we will have a day of rest. Special thanks to our Valerio, for the excellent tea that warmed us up and cheered us up. Happy New Year to everyone!!!  Happiness, success, health and a peaceful sky in the New Year!!! See you in the mountains!

Greetings from Peru from Alex Abramov and Lyudmila Korobeshko! And happy New Year!

Yesterday we climbed the summit of the Chachani volcano (6057m). We came to the Base Camp at 4900 in the midst of a snowstorm. But by 2 a.m. the snowfall stopped. At 3.40 we went out under the light of the southern constellations to storm and by 8 a.m. we climbed to the top of Chachani. The ascent is simple, it goes without ropes and without crampons. Similar to Ojos, but simpler. The peaks offer a view of the beautiful Chachani crater and the neighboring peaks – El Misti is very close and the active volcanoes Ampato and Sabankaya in the distance.

At noon we had already fed the foxes, looked at the herds of vikunias and flocks of wild mountain rabbits, and two hours later we rested in the spa of the hotel in Arequipa. So, a great route through Peru is ready. We're planning a group in May. Happy New Year to everyone once again! Peace, happiness and new adventures to all!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Artem Rostovtsev from Antarctica: Today, as planned, we moved to Low Camp.  At a good pace. The weather is amazing. Tomorrow we will go out on the Ropes, work up acclimatization and refresh the ability to move on fixed ropes. And then the New Year, with which congratulations to everyone! We will note that we will rest on January 1 (you can't work on a day off) and go to the assault camp. Happy New Year to everyone!

 The outgoing year 2022 has become a difficult test of strength for all of us. We can say that the 7 Summits Club withstood it with honor. Despite the objective difficulties, we have implemented all the planned plans. They did not give up our positions.

And we look to the future with optimism.

We will be cheerful, hardworking, we will be noble and patient, we will be freedom-loving and faithful, we will be beautiful and strong, kind and caring!

Let's be tireless in our desire to travel, in our desire to see the world, to leave our mark on all continents of our beautiful planet! We believe in ourselves!

Friends, stay with us! We love and appreciate you! We are of the same blood!

Join our new Everest and K2 expeditions!

Today, the team of the 7 Summits Club "Four Brave" in full ascended the Сayambe volcano (5790 m). Now the participants have descended to the thermal springs in Papayaktu, are resting, preparing for the next ascent. Chimborazo is ahead!

 The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov reports from Argentina:

Hello from Argentina! Our super group Mañana is the second day on the route. Today we made an acclimatization rotation towards the Plaza de Francia, reached an altitude of about 4000m. There we spent some time quite usefully and, having had lunch, began the descent down. On the way to the Confluencia camp, the mountains showed their character - we were caught in the snow with the wind. But now we are already in a cozy dining room, drinking tea.
