All news: 19 June 2025

June 19. Alaska in touch. Yesterday, June 18, we had a busy day in Anchorage. In the morning, having fortified ourselves with crabs, we checked our gear. Then we went shopping. And in the evening, we won a decisive victory - we got hold of Zhamilya's missing luggage.

Today we are moving to Talkeetna, going to the rangers and after that we will try to fly to the glacier. We have not yet come up with a name for our international group (Russia, Switzerland, Kazakhstan, Romania). But we are working on it.

Leader of the Denali expedition of group #2 of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko.

The 7 Summits Club  guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the Elbrus region from the "NaKoshkah" group! Acclimatization is complete, yesterday we climbed Pastukhov Rocks. Today is a day of rest and tonight we will climb the mountain. The weather is expected to be good. Wish us luck!

6/18- This season in Alaska for the 7 Summits Club is pretty busy. We meet and welcome climbers from around the world. They share their climbing stories and we share ours! 

Today we are happy to welcome and award other international groups of climbers who successfully made it to the summit of Mt. McKinley. 

 Qiao Yang, Dmitri Gordeev, Tom Mcgibbca and Thomas Hanski from USA, England and Russia, summited on June 17.

Kyriakos Avgoustis from Greece summited on June 14.

Tomasz Maciaszczyk from Poland summited on June 14.

The flight went well. There was good visibility, which allowed us to take panoramic photos. The plane landed safely on the glacier surface and a new stage of the expedition began for the group. Thanks to the use of Starlink, we can now receive operational information from the slopes of Mount Denali-McKinley.
