All news: October 2022

The group of the 7 Summits Club "Iskorka" has arrived in Tanzania. Yesterday we stayed at the Aisha Machame Hotel, held a briefing and checked the equipment. Today we drove up to the gate of the Marangu Gate National Park (1894 meters), then we got permits and went to the Mandara hut with a height difference of 900 meters. Nature pleases with bright colors of flowers and plants. We managed to get acquainted with the local inhabitants of the hotel - small nimble monkeys and fluffy rabbits. The weather favors us, there was a little rain in the morning, but now the sun is shining. Wish us good luck! The guides Alexander Dorojukov and Olga Startseva are in touch.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

 The Upward Movement group moves up the Khumbu Valley.  Today we walked from Namche Bazar to Tiangboche, visited the famous monastery and then moved to the village of Pangboche. The participants feel well. The weather is slightly cloudy, but the mood is combative.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

On the calendar on October 17. The Upward Movement group left the village of Phanding in the morning. We walked surrounded by big mountains and suspension bridges. We took a few hours to get to the capital of the Sherpas, Namche Bazaar, without hurrying. The weather is wonderful, the views from the hotel window are magnificent.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club, Viktor Volodin, reports from Nepal:

The “Upward Movement” Group flew to Lukla by helicopter.  Then we went up to the village of Phakding.  The weather is fine, the condition of the trail is wonderful, the mood of the participants is fighting.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

Kathmandu met us with good weather. All participants are assembled, in full health and good mind. Today we are walking around Kathmandu, tomorrow we are scheduled to fly to Lukla.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Boris Egorov reports from Turkey:

That's the end of the climbing program in Turkey. On the last day, Alexey and Zhenya and I scouted the distant canyon sector. It is a beautiful place near the sea. We climbed not so much, but at the same time quite difficult routes of the 6th and 7th categories. And swam in the sea on a wild beach. We had a good workout during the trip and were a little tired. We got what we wanted.

 The 7 Summits Club together with the project 8000.Guide opens booking for expeditions to all 14 eight-thousandths of the world! In the spring of 2023, we plan to climb three of the fourteen highest Summits.  "Annapurna is the first eight–thousandth."  And it will be the first in our project.  On the basis of many years of practice, expeditions began to climb Annapurna at the very beginning of the spring season. It's more cool, but the avalanche danger is significantly reduced. And in the same season, you can have time to recover and go to other eight-thousandth. Including Everest.

Climbing Annapurna (8091m)
March 25 - April 28, $29,150, Alexander Abramov.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club group Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:.

Namaste from Nepal! The group "From Above is better" has reached the final goal of our journey. Namely: Everest Base Camp and Mount Kala Patthar, from which the highest peak of the World is visible. Now we have started moving towards civilization and aviation.

The corporative tour of the guides and managers of the 7 Summits Club to Arkhyz turned out to be extremely successful in terms of the weather. Like the day before, today was sunny, warm unseasonably. We just returned to summer and got full satisfaction from a long, tedious and fabulously beautiful route.  In turn, all the lakes of the Sofia necklace - the emerald pearls of Arkhyz were visited. Thanks to our wonderful guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Dmitry Semenov! Thanks to everyone who drove and waited for us!  Our journey took seven and a half hours and ended just after dark. It was the right thing! On all agenda items…

The guide of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Dorojukov, reports from Tanzania:

Greetings from Africa! Our group  has climbed Mount Kilimanjaro today. The weather is gorgeous. We were the very first at the top. Now we have already gone down, we are going to the hotel to rest.

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

Namaste from Nepal! Our group "From Above is better " continues the way to the Everest Base Camp. The weather is already better today than in previous days. Ama Dablam opened up to us. We came to Lobuche. Everyone feels great. Tomorrow we climb to Gorakshep and in the afternoon we go to the Everest Base Camp.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Africa! The group moved to the Kosovo Camp. And even walked a little higher. Our acclimatization has come to an end. Today we rest before the ascent and on the night of the start. Wish us good luck!

Alexander Abramov directly from the top of Khosar Ganges: Having overcome bad weather and deep snow, the group of the 7 Summits Club climbed to the highest point. It happened exactly at 12 o'clock local time. We wish them a successful descent!

 The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Africa! Today our cheerful team moved to the Barafu camp. Before that, having lunch at Karanga Camp. We move briskly, cheerfully. The weather is favorable.

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

Namaste from Nepal! We got closer to the Everest Base Camp for another day's hike. Today we came to Dingboche, 4300 meters.  Gradually, the height begins to be felt. We have passed approximately about 10 km. It's cloudy today, but I'm glad that the rain has stopped. It was raining in Namche Bazaar and on the way to Tengboche. Tomorrow we move to Lobuche.

 Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Pakistan:

Today, the team "Five on a Perch" climbed to Camp-2 (5300m) on the crest of the Khosar Gang Mountain. The weather contributed, although the condition of the route leaves much to be desired. Yesterday, an avalanche descended right on the climbing route.  And according to information from our porters, a lot of fixed ropes are now buried under the snow. There is also a very strong wind at the summit. So we decided to postpone the assault for a day. Meanwhile, several Pakistani guides will check fixed ropes. Tonight, with favorable weather, we plan to storm the summit. Now the peak is covered with clouds. It snowed last night.

On September 30, 2022, the expedition group of the 7 Summits Club climbed  the summit of Manaslu at about noon local time. The heroes of the day were the participants: Lilia Kovalenko, Anna Korpushenkova and Yuri Lukyanov. As well as the guide and the head of the expedition Sergey Larin, and five Sherpa guides-porters who accompanied the group. The 7 Summits Club congratulates the climbers with great success, wishes them good health and new Summits! 

 The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Africa! We are moving briskly towards our goal. Today we reached the Lava Tover camp, having gained an altitude of 4600m, and went down to the Baranko camp. The condition of the group is excellent.  It's been cloudy all day today, but no precipitation is already good. We continue our route and enjoy the beauty of African nature.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Pakistan:

Today our team moved to the first high-altitude camp of the Khosar Gang Mountain, at an altitude of 4850 meters.  We climbed the rocks here at a pretty good pace. There were 10 porters with us. It looked like these guys were carrying more than their own weight. The camp is located on the ridge. There's nowhere to hide. It is necessary to leave the tents carefully, because there are cliffs on both sides.  The weather is great!

Tomorrow there will be an even more difficult climb to the Camp 2.
