Boris Egorov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:

 This is the final episode of our Brazilian series! We climbed to the top of Mount Elbrus! The weather was perfect today. The mountain let us did it and our Brazilian friends were happy to tears. Today we already enjoy a shower and in general the benefits of civilization. The End.

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergei Avtomonov:  Hi!  And have a Brazilian mood!  We started the program with a new group from Brazil. Today we climbed to the top station of the cable car Cheget to a height of 3100. Then we took the necessary equipment at the rent office and are going to move to the refuge National Park.

The first of the four parts of the film "The Man who always wanted more" is available on YouTube channel RD Studio.   Vasily Shakhnovsky climbs Mount Kazbek together with friends and guides of the 7 Summits Club:

The premiere of the second part will be held on Sunday, August 11 at 16-00. This time the expedition set out to conquer Mount Manaslu, one of the most beautiful and dangerous mountains of Nepal.

 The group "Black Jack" (guides  Andrey Berezin and Alexander Dorogunov), the largest group this season, today  went to the Pastukhov Rocks. Members and guides climbed at a good pace.  On the way back it began to snow, but they  were already returning.

The Brazilian group led by the guide Boris Egorov is also preparing to storm the summit of Elbrus, completing the acclimatization rotation.

Aloha, friends and family! Here is a group of the 7 Summits Club, going to Khan Tengri under the leadership of Vladimir Kotlyar. We're OK! Today we held ice classes, remembered the technique of movement on the ice in crampons and with ice axes, worked out the movement on glaciers and work with jumars on fixed ropes. Tomorrow we go to the big mountains for acclimatization. There will be no Internet, so only satellite communication.

On January 12, an unusual event occurred at the South Pole. A group of 13 men came here on bicycles.  It was a team of the 7 Summits Club: 11 members plus guides Alexander Abramov and Artem Rostovtsev. For the first time the group on two-wheeled bicycles reached the South Pole. And here's a little more than six months later, Alexander Abramov received medals for the world record reaching the South Pole by bicycle.

Andrey Berezin, the group guide:

Just the second day of August, and already the summit!  Today the group "Drinking monkey's" climbed to the highest point of Europe – Mount Elbrus (5642). August night was clear, but cold, so we warmed up only above the Saddle. And there is already near the summit, which we made certainly.  Congratulations to all of our group!
