Today Alexander Abramov and our Ecuadorian guide Edgar Parra climbed the highest peak of Ecuador Chimborazo 6310m (the highest mountain in the world, if measured from the center of the Earth). As the ascent was accomplished without acclimatization, was one night at 3500, it went hard. But, nevertheless, we ascended to the main peak of the mountain, which is an hour from the Western peak. On this day, all the other teams turned back. Now we're going to climb  Cotopaxi.

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Namaste!  Our group "Monkey Bite" today reached the end point of our base camp trekking program Mardi Himal (4200 meters).  From there we went down to the valley of the Mardi Khola river. In a few hours we saw different high-altitude zones: from the harsh icy peaks to tropical forests. We went through a long and interesting track during the day. Now we are in the hotel at an altitude of 1900 meters. We leave for Pokhara tomorrow.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club:  Our team climbed the Volcano Rucu Pichincha. The altitude of 4600 m, it is near Quito.

 Later we celebrated the birthday of Galia Rossova...

Among them there are two of our regular participants of travel, who grew up before our eyes in serious climbers - Volodya Belkevich and Kirill Semeshkin. For them, this ascent was the final in the program "Seven Summits". Congratulations, friends! Forward to the Poles and Seven Volcanoes!

Alexander Dorozhukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club:

Hello from Nepal! Today we climbed the mountain of  Kala Patthar!  The weather was gorgeous.  In the morning it was a little cold, but the beautiful scenery smoothed the heavy ascent and morning cold.  Our goals have been achieved - today we begin to descend.

Indonesia. Papua. Expedition Carstensz-2018. 

 After a sudden successful summit the day before yesterday, we can only ask the weather to give a second chance - the opportunity to fly early from the base camp down to Timika. Didn't happen yesterday. We waited walking  to the next valley and rest.

Today, all the stars have developed in our favor, even the helicopter pilot took a chance and got a group of turns between the clouds. We were worried, but in the end we are all at the bottom level.

And now we are preparing to celebrate the climb and congratulate new sevensummiters.

Congratulations with Seven Summits!

Weather smiling upon us by beautiful mountains and calm weather - almost the whole day we were walking in t-shirts, very warm day. We are staying in a hotel, walking, enjoying the beauty of the mountains and the local monastery.

Hello dears! This is a news online by guide Boris Egorov from the expedition to Carstensz Pyramid. This morning  there was a gorgeous weather and a helicopter promptly brought the whole group back to civilization. But we did not stay in Timika for long, had only to freshen up and immediately went to the capital of the island - Jayapura.  And then we met the ocean, as well as delicious fresh fish and souvenirs. And in the evening we gave the team members medals for climbing the summit of Carstensz Pyramid!

 Vladimir Kotlyar and Andrey Berezin with groups  on Mera Peak complete their travels in Nepal.  Clear weather on the day of climbing allowed climbers to get the most vivid emotions and the brightest pictures.  The most famous panorama, which is famous for the Mera peak was opened for our groups. Join the viewing!

Namaste from Khare! Group "Mera-2018" climbed to the Northern summit of the Mera Peak (6476 meters).  A gusty wind blew up to 60 km per hour and the weather was clear but cold.

Greetings from Phakding! Today our group flew to Lukla and walked out on the route. We moved to the village of Phakding, ran to acclimatize to the monastery standing above. Weather was not good enough for views. But we hope that from the next day, the sun will accompany us on all the way of our journey…

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the  7 Summits Club from Nepal:

  Hello from “Snow leopards” and Vladimir Kotlyar! We have successfully, all together, climbed to the top of Mera peak! Despite the fact that the weather was very windy, the team coped!!!! Now we sit in the Khare at 4900 and drink beer, we deserve it!

 Guide the 7 Summits Club Boris Egorov from Pyramid Carstensz. We have just descended after a successful climb to the summit  of Carstensz Pyramid. We came to the tents.... On the descent we were soaked by rain... But ... all five members are very happy.

 Tomorrow is scheduled departure to Timika, if the weather allows.

Alex Lonchinsky, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Nepal:

Greetings from climbers on Ama Dablam! Today we went down from acclimatization rotation. We climbed to camp 2 (6100) and spent two nights in camp 1 (5800). Mikhail and Vadim coped normally with mountain adaptation. Now we went down to Pangboche (4000), where we plan to rest…

 Now, according to the forecast and feelings, the bad weather is coming.  When the favorable forecast will be clear, we will plan to start for summit climb.

Namaste!  Two groups continue to prepare for the ascent of Mera peak. Today, for better acclimatization, we climbed to the height of 5300 meters. In the first half of the day the weather was nice. And around us there was a beautiful mountain view!
