All news: November 2017

Maxim Shakirov, guide of 7 summits Club:

The group called "Incognito" has successfully completed the blitz expedition in Morocco!)

3 of the 4 participants reached the highest point of the country, the Atlas mountains and North Africa - Toubkal (4 167 m).

The fourth member turned from a height of 3 600 meters.

Our blitz the day of the ascent:

4:20 - exit from shelter;

After an hour our group split: Andrey, Oxana and Victoria with a local guide, Mohammed go to the top, I'm Marina and continue climbing, but slowly...

7:20 in the morning, with 400 meters of altitude during 3 hours climing, we turn down, knowing that today, for the Marina (which is actually the first time in the mountains) it is a  top.

At 9:30 I go out from the shelter towards the summit, towards the brave three, worrying that they may need my help on the descent...

At 10:40, I meet the main group at 3 600 metres, the same height, where we turned with Marina...

My help is not needed - the team, though tired, but happy, are going down!)

The heroine of the day unquestionably was Victoria, which for the first time in the mountains ( Andrei and Oksana before that ascension was only the Olympus)!!!

Maxim Shakirov, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello from the Toubkal!)

Blitz managed on 75%!

Three out of four members of the expedition with a local guide Mohammed was on the Top today, November 5th!

I twice went to 3 600 😂😂😂

Details and pictures from the top I hope will be tomorrow...

Personal observation: in winter, Toubkal is much nicer to go;-)

Andrey Berezin, guide of 7 summits Club:

Group "12 with no chairs" was released on route to Everest base camp. Early this morning we flew from Kathmandu to Lukla two groups (helicopter and plane). There we waited the arrival of our luggage. Then went to Phakding, where we planned to overnight. In the afternoon we took a walk to the monastery that is located near Phakding.

Message from Alexander Abramov:

Hello! This is Abramov Alexander, Irian Jaya, Papua, Pyramid Carstensz. Today our team made the ascent on the Pyramid of Carstensz. All seven people. Including among us:

- the first Belarusian to reach the Pyramid Carstensz – Vadim Frolov;

- the first Deputy of the State Duma Oleg Savchenko;

- the first Ukrainian woman who is going to finish the "seven summits" - Tatiana Jalovchak;

- the first inhabitant of Kovrov – Alexey Balakin;

-  first Ukrainian climber who climbed all "seven summits" without Carstensz, who is now also finished with the Pyramid Carstensz, but already being a citizen of Russia - Igor Pokhvalin;

- well, actually, Abramov Alexander, for the fifth time;

- Lyudmila Korobeshko, for the third time ...

In General, each of us was first in something. ... everything is fine. Of course, with the weather we were lucky. The weather is fair, we flew by helicopter. Until we saw no guerrillas, which are said to be located across two valleys from us.

I mean, we're all fine. The first part went down after 12 hours on climb, the second -after 13. On the top we went up seven and a half hours.

That is, everything was fine, "mountain of the mists" at the end on the descent fresh us with some rain.

Well, OK, now we sit waiting for our departure home.

We want to go to .... in Wamena. And spend an unforgettable party in Bali.

Here we have a cool program. We are all very pleased, we have a gorgeous camp. Tents are not wet at all. This is unique to this country, because here constantly pour rains. Well, bye!

The group "Navy Seals Kotlyar" successfully climbed to the top of Mera peak (6476 meters). 4 of 5 members reached the highest point. Irina climbed up to the pass Mera La.

The 7 Summits Club congratulates Ivan Dusharin happy anniversary! We wish our friend, companion on the mountain travel, teacher and example in life, a new sports and creative achievements, good health and joy! We hope of new joint projects and meetings in the mountains and on the plain!

Hello! This is Lyudmila Korobeshko from the expedition on Carstensz. Now I am at the base camp of the Pyramid Carstensz at 4200. Here I have arrived with one Indonesian friend early yesterday morning, specifically to prepare everything for the arrival of the group. We set up tents, set up a camp. Then we put the public tent, and even made a small cleaning area. Anyway, all is well. Yesterday, however, all day pouring rain, but we did expect this...
