 The first expedition of the 8000.Club project  starts on April 17^th to the fifth highest peak in the World -Makalu. Lyudmila Korobeshko will lead the team.  Mount Makalu (8,485 m) has long been famous for a long and tedious trekking approach to the base camp. However, now all issues are being resolved with the help of a helicopter. Makalu is also a record holder among eight–thousanders in terms of the number of routes climbed and their variants. However, almost all of them have been completed only once. The absolute majority of climbers use the French route of 1955. It's A Classic!  A long detour route leads along the glacier and ends with a very beautiful final part.

 Another 8000.Club group will be working on Everest at this time. The team will be led by Viktor Volodin.  They have a special sport program. This year Nepal will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953.  Expedition of the 8000.Club will follow in the footsteps of the legendary Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.

 You will also be able to follow the news from these expeditions on the website of the 7 Summits Club.

  About a month is left before the start of our climbing programs to the summits of the Himalayan eight-thousandthers. The first to start is the traditional expedition of the 7 Summits Club on Mount Everest under the general leadership of Alexander Abramov.  The main group will work according to the classic program of climbing on the highest peak of the World with full service and maximum possible comfort.  And we will also repeat the successful program "Touching Everest" in the past years, with overcoming the legendary Khumbu icefall and climbing to the Camp 2.  

   This year Nepal will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953.  The expedition of the 7 Summits Club will follow in the footsteps of the legendary Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.
