Alexey Balakin climbed to the highest summit of Antarctica Mount Vinson in 20162017 in the group of the 7 Summits Club under the leadership of Alexander Abramov... Thanks for the movie!

In the app - a few photos from the trip to Leh. There are more impressions from the trip… a lot more.

Ladakh is all forgiving atmosphere of real Tibetan Buddhism is multifaceted, multinational Leh, where I live next to Hindus, Tibetans, Ladakhi, Chinese,

-  friendly and smiling people,

- place where the phone is not useful to you,

- a mix of Indian, Tibetan, Chinese and European cuisine

- a clear sense of intimacy-guarded borders with patrolling helicopters and the Indian border

 and of course is mountains, which have a variety of colors - green, gray, brown, red, lilac, white.

Stok Kangri is currently not allowed me  be on the top.

But Leh did not want to let go. First the trip to the airport in Leh, the staff do not want to register on the flight, explaining that the system does not confirm my tickets.

There is a reason to come back.

Alexander Abramov, President of  the 7 Summits Club:

August 28^th  at 5:30 we climbed to the top of Mount Elbrus with artificial oxygen. In preparation for the expedition Everest 2018, the team of  the 7 Summits Club held a new "Oxygen Experiment". Without pre-acclimatization, two climbers  with artificial oxygen and two guides climbed for 4 hours from Pastukhov Rocks to the top.

I believe that the use of artificial oxygen can make the mountain more accessible to the common climbers. In particular, this tool can be used for quick ascents (programs Blitz), when climbers simply no time for gradual acclimatization...

A message from a guide of the 7 Summits Club: Part of the band "the Odessa steamer" ascended to the summit of Mont Blanc. Weather "pleased" guides, but customers  managed to suffer until the top. Well done!

A message from our guide in the Alps Roman: Four days of Mountain school passed quickly. First, we trained a little bit on the rocks and climbed a small route, where he did some technical moves while climbing in pair. Then we moved for a couple of days on the glacier Dent du Géant, where he mastered the basics of movement on the glacier roped. Well, to make it more interesting, we went on two routes: Aiguille de Toule and the Aiguille d'Entreves. The weather was great especially on the last day, which we were happy!
