A guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from the Elbrus region:

08/27. Hello everyone! The 7 Summits Club group "Frosted" moved to the Refuge National Park at an altitude of 3900 m today. We settled in and went to the Refuge of Eleven at 4100 m. There we held snow-ice training. The weather today was wonderful, super, we worked out everything that was supposed to be done according to the plan.

After lunch, the group continued to master mountaineering techniques near the refuge. We worked out the safety systems and the scheme of movement on the fixed ropes. Tomorrow, according to the plan, we will go for high-altitude acclimatization to the Pastukhov Rocks, up to an altitude of 4700 m. 

Greetings to everyone from the Ripe Peaches team! Today we had a very long and eventful day. We got up early. We left the shelter in the direction of the summit under the moonlight at 3:10. We walked slowly, in an even formation, singing songs. And already at 9:50 we reached the summit of the highest volcano in Asia, 5609 m! We tried to take a photo as if we were the only ones at the top, but today there were quite a lot of people. Therefore, we did not linger long and began the descent. And at 12:30 we were already met at the camp with a hot delicious lunch.

The weather today was incredibly pleasing to us, and we still had plenty of strength, so we decided to continue the descent and get to Tehran. Everyone is alive and well, they haven't realized their feat yet, but we are already accepting congratulations!

The President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov has adjusted the previously announced project "Seven Volcanoes in Seven Months". Indeed, if a record is to be set, it should be extreme, at least in its part. Seven months is too easy, it can be halved!

 Alexander Abramov plans to climb the highest volcanoes on all continents in less than 100 days. This will be "Project 99". On October 1, Alexander sets off with a group to climb the Giluwe volcano (Australian continent). And he intends to finish on the Antarctic mountain Mount Sidley in early January 2025.

 Good luck, Сaptain!

You can join our leader and take part in a real world record. There are places in almost all groups. And if there is no group, you can join our hero as a fan.

 October 1-6. Alex Abramov will lead the 7 Summits Club group to climb Giluwe volcano.

 On October 10, Moscow will host an Evening dedicated to the 7 Summits Club's birthday. The President's presence is mandatory.

 With ideal completion of all routes, it will take about 95 days from the first summit to the final one.

 Alexander Abramov can safely be 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 2011 expedition on 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, the experienced Italian climber Mario Trimeri and the 16-year-old Romanian girl Crina (Coco) 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!
