All news: 11 February 2025

February 11. Jumbo from Africa to all! Today, our team "22 friends of Oscar and Fedor Konyukhov" made the trek from Camp Machame (2900) to Camp Shira (3800). We got there pretty quickly. By lunchtime, we were in the camp, washed up, had lunch and went for a walk to the Shira cave. After the walk, we met our team - as many as 122 accompanying people!

Tomorrow, there will be a difficult march through the Lava Tower (4600) with a descent to the Barranco camp.

By the way, our group has some kind of records - more than half of the participants have visited the North Pole. And we also have a heroic father Sergey Stepanov in our team, who is leading his three children to the summit. We've definitely never had anything like this before.

The group's super guides are Evgeny Fedyunin and Lyudmila Korobeshko.

Hooray! There is a summit! On February 9, Olga and Alexander stood on the summit of Cotopaxi volcano (5897 m) - the most beautiful volcano in the world, included in the TOP-10 most popular ascents with guides. The active Cotopaxi volcano was reopened for ascents after another eruption about six months ago. After the eruption, the terrain changed significantly, became more technical, requiring more effort and special training.

The couple did it! And now they are waiting for a well-deserved rest at the thermal springs surrounded by blooming mountains.

Greetings from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today our supergroup "4th International", having made an 8-hour trek, climbed to our comfortable base camp Plaza de Mulas, at an altitude of 4300 meters. All participants withstood this long trek with dignity. We were met, fed and placed in wonderful tents. Tomorrow is a day of rest, and then back to battle. Group guides Dmitry Semenov and Andrey Sheynov.
