All news: October 2023

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

Namaste! The Himalayan season has begun! Two of our groups: the climbing group "Chronic climbers" (going to Island Peak) and the trekking group "Kumari of October" (Everest Base Camp) arrived in Lukla yesterday and went on the route.  The first night in Phakding, in a beautiful comfortable hotel. A cyclone came to the Himalayas, all afternoon and night it was pouring heavy rain. Today we hope to arrive in Namche Bazaar, the capital of the Sherpas, before the rain. Group guides: Alexander Dorojukov (trekking) and Andrey Berezin (mountaineering).

Starting in June, the expedition of the 7 Summits Club to K2 ended in early August.  The conditions for climbing corresponded to the image of the "most inaccessible" and dangerous mountain in the World. We did not wait for any stable weather window, but in general we successfully coped with our task.

On July 27, 2023, sisters Maria Oglobleva and Ekaterina Safronova, Dmitry Moskalev and high-altitude operator Vladimir Kotlyar climbed to the top of K2.

On July 28, Lyudmila Korobeshko, Daniil Briman, Valery Tebiev and Arno Ter-Saakov (Armenia – Latvia – Monaco), as well as cameraman Luis Lopez Soriano (Spain) reached the summit.

A total of 8 participants, 2 high-altitude operators and 10 Sherpas ascended the summit of K2 from the expedition of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club. There are 20 people under the leadership of Lyudmila Korobeshko. The ascent took place in bad weather, with a poor condition of the route. The more honorable the victory!

During this expedition, a film was shot, which later became known as "The High Altitude Gene 2. The Mountain of all mountains".   We are waiting for the release of a new masterpiece from RD Studio. In the meantime, watch the trailer!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Ratmir Mukhametzyanov reports from Kazakhstan:

 We have run out of training camps in Tuyuk-Su, the members of the NP-2 group have completed their program!  We made 4 ascents from 1B to 3A of the difficulty category. The participants of the gathering studied and practiced, walked and climbed, jumared and dulfered. There were a lot of lectures, practical classes, evening gatherings, after climbing, they did an analysis of mistakes.

The cherry on the cake was climbing the route 3A of the difficulty category with an instructor as a leader, so that students could observe the work of a professional on the wall from the side. Although before that they climbed, collected stations, oriented themselves and interacted with each other independently.  We have learned a lot, but there is still a long way to improve.

I was very happy to work with such motivated students!
