Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Chile:

Salute to all from Chile! Today, a large group led by Alexander Abramov and supported by Alexander Dorojukov and Nikita Slotin finally arrived in Atacama and gathered at the festive table. Alex Abramov solemnly announced the official start of the expedition. Then the legendary Russian climber Sergey Bogomolov took the floor. He climbed 13 out of 14 eight-thousand meters and in the summer of 2023 he plans to climb K2 as part of the team of the 7 Summits Club, which he left to complete the project of 14 eight-thousand meters.

Sergey told many interesting stories from his rich mountaineering life - about joint ascents with Anatoly Bukreev, about Bashkirov's tragic death on Lhotse, about several of his attempts on K2 from different sides. Everyone listened with their mouths open. As a result, we decided that we would help Sergey Bogomolov to publish a book about his ascents.

Today we devoted the day to protein saturation - we ate live scallops with fried octopus.  And tomorrow - departure to Atacama. Everyone is looking forward to it!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Argentina:

Hello! Today our super group Mañana, got a well-deserved rest. We spent the day very relaxed: making plans for future ascents, preparing for tomorrow's exit to the Nido de Condores (5500m). We have an overnight stay there, followed by a radial rotation to the Colera assault camp (6000m). So we won't be in touch for a day. Bye everyone!

Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Chile:

Super news from Tanzania! Our team led by guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Sergey Avtomonov in full force on New Year's Eve climbed the highest peak in Africa - Kilimanjaro volcano (5895 m). Together with our team, dozens of climbers from different countries of the world met the New Year 2023 on the mountain. For someone it was the first peak, for someone not the first, but memorable for a long time.  We are waiting for details and photos. Happy New Year to everyone!

News from Ecuador. The team of the 7 Summits Club "Four Brave" ascended the Chimborazo volcano (6310 m) on New Year's Eve. Two guys were standing on the main peak of Chimborazo. One member of the team stood on a small peak with a beautiful name Ventimiglia. And another participant reached the high-altitude camp at 5,300 m and decided not to go further due to poor health. Apparently the mountain does not want to part with her, and wants her to come back!  Happy New Year to all!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov reports from Argentina:

Happy New Year!!! Today, on the first day of the new year, we have a day of rest. But the Mañana team is not used to sitting idle. Today we made a small acclimatization rotation, reached an altitude of 4500m, saw our camp from above. The weather is great, the sun, snow, a slight coolness in the air, a fighting spirit. See you in the mountains!!!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Artem Rostovtsev from Antarctica:

To everyone who hears us, we warmly congratulate you on the New Year from the coldest continent! Happiness to you! We have everything according to plan. We walked halfway to the High camp. We worked up acclimatization and confidence moving along the fixed ropes. And then there was the New Year. From the Urals to New York. We didn't miss a single time zone, we remember everyone. Tomorrow is a well-deserved rest. And then we will go up to our goal – the summit of the Vinson Massif. Happy New Year! Artem Rostovtsev and the team.
