All news: July 2017

 The leader of the expedition of the Kazakh Geographical society Magjan Sagimbayev:

After a successful ascent to Kilimanjaro, the group went on a Safari through the parks of Tanzania. We visited the valley of the Tarangire river, which is famous for its baobab trees and elephants. As well as a unique place "lost world" of Ngorongoro crater, which many are calling the "eighth wonder of the world".

 We met almost all the inhabitants of the national Park, except rhinos. Obiageli real drama of the Safari, the match between lions and buffaloes. Was a little taken aback by the size of Ngorongoro crater. Who would have thought that there exists a small world for animals.

 Just for the sake of the Safari was to go to Tanzania! Very cool!

In preparation for the expedition Everest – 2018, for acclimatization before climbing Lenin peak, our team made a "first ascent" at the peak Grekov, a height of 4000 meters. We named this peak in honor of our friend (Dmitry Grekov – head of the company AK-SAI). This is just gendarme in the crest of Petrovskiy peak. Tomorrow our company goes out of Achik-Tash to the  Camp 1 at the altitude of 4400 meters.

Our team, having driven 6 hours from Osh, came to the camp Achik-Tash.  It is a very comfortable and thoughtful camp of the AK-SAI company. We are all very pleased. Also the weather is bad now. It is raining.

I met hare a lot of friends. Basically they are guides my age ) and younger. Of course, Visily Pivtsov is  in the middle of it. Our team went to the sauna. We have a very good guide named Andrey. The team are friendly. Tents for accommodation are excellent. You can stand in growth. Everything is fine. Tomorrow we will go on Petrovskogo peak.

Alexander Abramov, the leader of the expedition 7 summits Club on Lenin peak: Today our team, all the participants gathered in Osh. We went to the Museum located in the cave. Then climbed the whole mountain Suleimanca. After lunch we visited the famous local market. And we even managed to pack for tomorrow's departure on Lenin peak. Everyone is feeling great. For a while!

A group called "7-I" today climbed the Western  summit of Mount Elbrus... the Weather was good enough, all the participants reached the highest point and happily went down to the hotel. On the way, we remembered that today was Bastille Day, for us, it was held not in vain.

News Kilimanjaro from Magjan Sagimbayev. The group has already returned home. Everybody will be happy. Now you only have to remember how it was and choose a new vertex.

 Almost verbatim from Magjan:

 "Everything went super. There was the little moments with mountain sickness, but the tour guides did a good job. 11 people went up, happy pants! )

 The hotels we stayed - excellent! The team was well rested.

  Unfortunately, on top our group failed to take a picture because the group split up, someone faster, someone slower.

 But in general, all people are happy and satisfied with the entire program! Thank you (7 summits Club)!

Igor Borisov yesterday ascended Mont Blanc, showing persistence and perseverance in the hellish wind. From the hut  Cosmique and back again. One from their group.  He took a flag of the 7 Summits Club. But I was afraid to get it out a sack. The muzzle very much!

So! Yevgeny Zharkov called themselves the "IAMAGROUP". He continued his adventures in Russia. Today Eugene Zharkov climbed both summits of Elbrus. 8 a.m. – Western summit, at 11 am Eastern Summit. The program was quite short, on the third day he made an ascent.

The highest peak of Western European and two the whole of Europe (Mont Blanc and Elbrus).

Yevgeny climbed the Mont Blanc the 6th of July...

Anastasia Kuznetsova: news from Iran, a lot of them and they are endless. Now I want to say only that the group was on top of the highest volcano of Asia Damavand in full. All alive, healthy and happy. After the descent we had a rich program with sauna, visit the local Bazaar and dinner in an excellent panoramic restaurant on the TV tower of Tehran.

  In general, Iran is a very friendly and diverse place. And it is waiting for us! Today, unfortunately, the whole group is almost gone (dare I say that we were good together). Today, the remaining participants will have to review all the fun in the ancient city of Isfahan and tomorrow for the flight home.

So a season of climbing groups of the 7 summits Club on Lenin peak began. This Saturday four members of the first expedition arrived in Osh, they are now in the base camp and started to acclimatization. In total we will have 6 groups, two of them under the leadership of Alexander Abramov.

By the way, you can still join the August group to the ascent program with local guides.

The program

Lyudmila Korobeshko: Yesterday we climbed Mount Kazbek. In the afternoon we flew by helicopter from Kazbegi. At one o'clock we began to move from a plateau 4500 and at about 5pm we were  on the top. All the climbers were slow due to strong winds. By 9 pm we went down to the meteorological station, then continued descent and after midnight came to Kazbegi. Okay, it was a great walk!

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 summits Club: a group of "Adventures of Italians in Russia" attempted the ascent of Elbrus from the North. We reached 5300, but from-for a strong wind (after second attempt) turned around and went down to the valley. All climbers performed perfectly, all fought! With such companions you could go to the mountains, even in military reconnaissance.

Two groups of the 7 summits Club made an ascent to the Western summit of mount Elbrus. One of them was led by tour guide Andrey Berezin, the other –  by Alexander Dorozhukov. They met at the top. Weather conditions were extremely difficult, but the more valuable the victory!

Today, Luda Korobeshko and Alex Abramov with friends made the first Russian climb Cime du Gelas– the highest peak in the French Maritime Alps. The ascent lasted 12 hours and was devoted to our friend Sasha Yelkov which is exactly 60 years old today!

Kazbek. Storm in the night storm broke the plans of climbers. Eight of nine participants decided to walk down to Kazbegi. One is left for a second attempt tonight. The remaining climber has already collected all seven of the highest peaks of all continents.

Anastasia Kuznetsova, guide of  the 7 summits Club:

 News from Iran. Today we moved from bustling Tehran in the peaceful mountains. We settled down in the shelter of the mountaineering Federation of Iran near the village of Polur, at an altitude of about 2200 meters. Above us hangs Damavand and beckons us to himself. The summit is now smoking, that is, the volcano lives. We have seen this with a dip in the hot springs in the neighboring village, which is located near geothermal hot springs.

 In the evening we were waited by a dinner of traditional Iranian home-cooked meals. For example, the main dish was a stew of beans and 10 kinds of local herbs. Now we are ready to start tomorrow to the base camp of Damavand at the height of 4200 m.

Hello! Here is a guide of the 7 Summits Club in the Elbrus region. Andrey Berezin: Today our group made an acclimatization trip to the Pastukhov Rocks. All night there was a thunder and wind. In the morning the wind warmed and slightly died down. Along the way we met a group of Alexander Dorozhukov, who also climbed the Rocks of Pastukhov.
