All news: August 2024

Pamir is in touch! The "Lenin, Brothers!" group climbed yesterday to the First Camp of Lenin Peak, at an altitude of 4400 meters. We will stay here until the summit push. Today the team attended classes to practice the technique and tactics of moving along fixed ropes, and practiced descending and ascending on jumars. After lunch we adjusted the equipment: crampons, harnesses. This evening we are playing Perudo in the dining room. The group's guides are Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

The project will be called "Seven Volcanoes in Seven Months." Alex Abramov will lead two Super Girls groups to Damavand and Elbrus in August. According to the plan, the ascent of Damavand should take place on August 13. From that day, the countdown for the record will begin. It is considered "from summit to summit." In October, Giluwe is planned, in November, Orizaba and Kilimanjaro. In December, an expedition to the Antarctic volcano Sidley. And in February, Alexander should complete the project by climbing Ojos del Salado. To break the speed record (183 days, 20 hours and 54 minutes), he needs to climb the Chilean volcano before February 12. Which is not entirely easy, if our President intends to finish the Antarctic season only on January 22. That was in his plans.

Alexander Abramov can be safely called the "godfather" of the Seven Volcanoes program. It was the president of the 7 Summits Club who conceived, and our company carried out, the historic expedition of 2011 to Mount Sidley. Since the scientific discovery of this highest volcano in Antarctica, no one had been there. As a result of the 2011 ascent, the first people to climb all seven volcanoes appeared. These were the participants of our expedition Mario Trimeri and Crina Popescu. And this was the real start of the Seven Volcanoes program. Russia, represented by our company, is the world leader in the number of climbers who have climbed all seven volcanoes of the project. At the moment, out of 46 who have completed the project, 14 represent our country. There is something to be proud of!

Greetings from the Pamirs! The "Lenin, brothers!" group has arrived at the Edelweiss glade, at the base camp of Lenin Peak, altitude 3600. For acclimatization, we went to the shoulder of Petrovsky Peak. Then we go to the first camp, where we will continue acclimatization and prepare for the ascent. The group's guides are Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Selivanov reports from the Elbrus region:

The group "Aunt Charlie" climbed Elbrus today. The hot Brazilians started from 3880 meters (Gara-Bashi) and walked the entire route, without using a snowcat. The ascent took 11 hours in clear weather, but quite a strong wind. Hooray - to the representatives of the BRICS allied state! Viva Brazil!

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

The "Stretched Legs" group sends greetings from the top of Elbrus! Yesterday, in full force, with the most beautiful views and excellent weather, we went to the summit. "Grandfather Elbrus" once again let us visit him. And we checked in at the highest point.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the Elbrus region! Today (August 2) our super-group "Saturation 99" climbed Mount Elbrus (5642 m). At 7-30 in the morning, we were all standing together at the top and congratulating each other. The weather was great and we saw a cool 360-degree panorama.

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Avtomonov reports from the Elbrus region:

The 7 Summits Club group "Dolphin" in full force climbed to the highest point of Russia and Europe, Mount Elbrus. All participants climbed and then descended in a good mood. It was sunny during the climb, but there was a decent wind.

The 7 Summits Club guide Olga Rumyantseva reports from Peru:

News from the Llamassitos group. Yesterday our group in full force climbed the Chachani volcano. Having left at one in the morning, we walked for a long, long time to the top and finally reached it. For all participants, this was the first experience of climbing a mountain over 6000 m.

In the evening, we celebrated the end of the trip in Arequipa. All participants in the climb received certificates and commemorative medals. And this morning, early in the morning, everyone flew home. That's how quickly our program ended.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Natalia Marinkevich reports from the Elbrus region:

During the final part, we were accompanied by a strong wind and bright sun - a great time for a photo shoot! Our participants, although without mountaineering experience, turned out to be strong and resilient guys. They deserved the summit! Now we will open new horizons and set even more difficult goals.

The third group of this season from Club 8000 is already in Kyrgyzstan! Today we arrived at the Base Camp and are starting the program of climbing Lenin Peak. The day before, our participants arrived in Osh throughout the day. Of course, we had a traditional walk around the city and climbed Suleiman-Too. Then we all gathered together for a welcome dinner in our favorite teahouse "Navat". All the participants are cheerful, happy and determined. The name of the group has not yet been thought up, but it will definitely be announced in the next news. Guides Valery Myasoedov and Andrey Berezin.

The 7 Summits Club guide Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

The "Samovar" group climbed Ararat! Everything went as planned. We left early and climbed to the summit, slightly stretching out in time. Everyone who started reached the top point. An excellent result! Some of the participants paid off their debts for last year's failure. Everyone is great! The most difficult test for us was the descent. It took a very long time to descend, but now we are already in the city of Dogubayazit. In the hotel and resting!
