All news: June 2015

Today, June 11, a group of the 7 Summits Club flew to Crimea for training on the rocks. List of members: Yury Zimin, Vadim Khairullin, Oksana Tkachik, Irina Redina, Philip Lerman. The President of the 7 Summits Club Alex Abramov personally leads the program.

Today there was the first session on the cliffs near Oreanda, named Krestovaya. All members were previously in the Crimea, but many years ago. And now they are wondering what is changed.
Sasha and Natasha, regular guides of the 7 Summits Club in the Crimea, gave us great lessons on the rocks of Krestovaya. All were really excited and tomorrow we go to Simeiz to the massive of Koshka (Cat). Day after tomorrow we will go climb a route named Surprise on the steep face of the Foros Wall.

Today, June 10, a large group of climbers (14 people) went on an expedition to Ararat. They will climb the biblical mount under the leadership of two guides from the 7 summits Club - Olga Rumyantseva and Vladimir Shataev (Russian mountaineering legend - he's 77 years).

In plans of the group to reach the summit of Ararat as quickly as possible (ideally in 3 days) and then to study the traces of Noah's Ark on the slopes of mount Ararat. As we know, Vladimir Shataev collected unique materials on this topic.

Today, June 10th, a small group of climbers from our Club flew to Morocco to climb the highest peak in the country Jebel Toubkal and to celebrate the Day of Russia. They are Alexander Semenyuk and Roman Smirnov – both active participants of programs of the 7 Summits Club.

We wish the guys good luck and good weather!

May 29th at 9 a.m. Peru time we called from the summit of Alpamayo on the answering machine to share the good news. But apparently, the call failed. Yesterday, May 30th, we have already gone down in Huaraz (3300) for the rest. Emotions subsided a bit, but the joy of a successful ascent and implementation of a long-standing dream remains.
