The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov reports from Nepal:
Namaste to all from Nepal! Participants and guides of the 7 Summits Club group "Te and Yeti" successfully reached Lukla today. Thank God, we were lucky with the weather for the flight this time. We arrived, sorted out our bags and moved to the village of Phakding. The weather is borderline, by midday it became cloudy and rained occasionally. We settled in a lodge, had lunch and then went to a monastery located near the village. Tomorrow is the trek to Namche. We are resting, and it is raining again outside.

The 7 Summits Club super guide Alexander Dorojukov reports from Nepal:

Namaste to everyone from Nepal! The 7 Summits Club group "Te and Yeti" began their trekking program to Everest Base Camp. Yesterday we gathered in Kathmandu, checked our gear, and exchanged money. Tonight we left for Ramichap airport. But, unfortunately, we were unable to fly to Lukla due to weather conditions. The rain will stop only in the evening. We hope the weather will be better tomorrow. We walked around the village, saw how the local population lives, and returned to our lodge.

The 7 Summits Club guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The 7 Summits Club team "Our Mini Group" successfully climbed Lobuche East yesterday. We were already at the top point at 8:30 local time. It snowed the day before the climb, so we had to put on crampons right away. The weather was favorable for the climb, a little cloudiness did not prevent us from enjoying the views from the top.

With Kutang Sherpa

Less than a week remains until the start of the 8000 Club expedition to Dhaulagiri 8167m, the seventh highest peak in the world. This year, the team is going in almost the same composition as last year. All the participants of last year's expedition decided to repeat their attempt to climb this formidable peak. But this time, the company has strengthened, with the addition of the experienced and wise Dmitry Moskalov. It is impossible to climb this technically difficult and treacherous peak without luck. Therefore, we wish you favorable weather and good partners for joint processing of the route! These are the two most important components of luck.

The 7 Summits Club  guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! Today "Our mini group" arrived in the village of Lobuche, which is located at the foot of Mount Lobuche. Tomorrow we will move to the assault camp and at night we will set out to storm the summit of Lobuche East.

The 7 Summits Club super guide Andrey Berezina reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! "Our mini group" is on the road again! We left the hospitable capital of the Sherpas Namche Bazaar and went to the next point of our trek - Deboche. The route is relatively difficult, since the altitude loss was 700 meters, and the gain was 900 meters, over 11 km of distance. The route passed through a picturesque forest. On the way we stopped at the Tengboche monastery, looked into the bakery, tried delicious cakes.

The 7 Summits Club  guide Andrey Berezina reports from Nepal:
Namaste from Nepal! The second day in Namche Bazaar was an excursion and familiarization day. We visited the monument to Norgay Tenzing and the ethnographic museum. After that, we went to Khumjung. This is a village next to Namche Bazaar, where there is a monastery in which the scalp of a yeti is kept.

We spent such a busy day in the vicinity of Namche Bazaar.

The 7 Summits Club  guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:
Namaste from Nepal! The "Our mini group" group continues to go further. And today we arrived in the Sherpa capital of Namche Bazaar. There were many flowering trees along the way, in a word - spring!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:
Namaste from Nepal! Spring! And this means that a new season in the Nepalese mountains begins. "Our mini-group" reached Lukla today. The plan was standard: from Kathmandu to Ramechap by car, then a small plane to Lukla. Now we are waiting for the luggage and going on foot to Phakding.

Hello everyone from Ecuador! Today we reached the Cotopaxi National Park and climbed the slopes of the Cotopaxi volcano to hold ice training and check our equipment before the climb. The weather continues to test us. There was rain, snow, and wind. But at the same time there was sun and beautiful views.

We climbed to the refuge, where we will spend the night before the climb. Then from there we climbed even higher - to the snow and there we practiced the skills of using mountaineering equipment.

And today on the way to the refuge we saw many huge condors that were soaring very close to us. And an Andean wolf that came to the refuge. But the wolf turned out to be very timid and immediately ran away.

For the night we went down to a comfortable hotel, but tomorrow we will return to the refuge again to go on the climb at night.
Guides Olga Rumyantseva and Boris Egorov.

Greetings from Ecuador! Today we went for a walk to a very beautiful ancient lake in the crater of the Quilotoa volcano. We split into two groups: the "hurryers" walked around the lake along the edge of the crater, and the "contemplators" went down to the water. Everyone had a good walk, according to their wishes. We bought some souvenirs once again and finally adjusted all the equipment.

Tomorrow we are going to look at the snow on the slopes of Cotopaxi. We will conduct snow lessons and walk in crampons.
Guides Boris Egorov and Olga Rumyantseva.

Hello everyone from Ecuador! Today our mountain adventures finally began. Moving slowly and enjoying the fog, we climbed our first volcano, Guagua Pichincha 4784m. The relatively short trek to the top was spiced up with rock climbing elements. And the snow on the top and the peals of thunder also added to our pleasure. But the main thing is that we acclimatized well and were not very tired. We spend tonight in an old hacienda from the seventeenth century closer to our goal - the Cotopaxi volcano. Tomorrow is a quieter day, we will go for a walk to the lake in the Quilotoa crater.

Guides Boris Egorov and Olga Rumyantseva.

The 7 Summits Club thanks everyone who visited our event!

We summed up the season in the Southern Hemisphere, awarded our heroes with medals of the projects "Seven Volcanoes" and "Seven Summits". We introduced our future climbers from the spring expeditions to Dhaulagiri, Everest and Lhotse. There was a lot of music, dancing, fun.

We are now waiting for the results of the work of photographers and videographers.

We hope that at the end of the spring season in the Himalayas we will gather again and everything will work out again!

Olga Rumyantseva, the 7 Summits Club guide, sends from Ecuador:
Hello to everyone from Ecuador, where our group continued its exciting acclimatization today! Early in the morning we went into the jungle to look for birds. We didn't find many birds, but a lot of different hummingbirds flew to the site of our hotel. They flew around us and buzzed with their wings. Then we went to the butterflies.

An amazing place where thousands of different butterflies fly, but the most beautiful are the big blue ones. You can also feed the butterflies there and see how they hatch from their cocoons.

And finally, the final event of the day is a visit to the equator line in Quito. We visited the Museum of the Middle of the World, where we learned a lot of interesting things about Ecuador and the equator.

This is such a wonderful acclimatization. But tomorrow we will finally go to the mountains.

The 7 Summits Club has begun filming a new movie called "Space Everest." The main characters are cosmonaut Sergei Ryazansky and businessman Vasily Taradin. This spring, under the guidance of 12-time Everest climber Alexander Abramov, they will go to the summit of Everest - the closest point on Earth to the stars.

Olga Rumyantseva, the 7 Summits Club guide, sends from Ecuador:

Greetings to everyone from Ecuador, from the group that has not yet found a name for itself! Today, all the participants finally got together and early in the morning we went to get to know Ecuador, acclimatizing at the same time.

We climbed to the observation deck of the Pululau crater and, having looked at it from above, went down to the crater where people live. Previously, they were engaged in breeding cattle, but now they mainly receive tourists, organizing small hotels and offering various types of activities.

Having risen from the crater, we continued on our way to the area of the "cloud" forest of Mindo. And although the forest promised to be cloudy, and not rainy, on the way, when we went to see the waterfall, we got caught in a downpour. But we saw a very beautiful waterfall and walked through the jungle, which everyone also really liked.

And finally, we arrived in Mindo, where we visited a chocolate factory. We watched the entire process of making chocolate, and then tasted it. This is how we acclimatized.

Olga Rumyantseva, the super guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Ecuador:
Hello to everyone from Ecuador! The big adventures of one small and still nameless group begin here. Today, the group members flew to the capital of Ecuador, Quito, and despite the long flight, immediately went for a walk around the city center.

That is, first they walked around the city center, and then went up to the observation deck, where the statue of the Virgin Mary is located. We looked at Quito from above, at the statue towering over the city from close by, and even looked inside the statue.

At the same time, we combined the walk with acclimatization. After all, Quito is located at an altitude of 2800 meters, and in order to climb to the observation deck, we had to gain another 200 meters in altitude.
Tomorrow, when all the participants of our adventures gather in Quito, we will begin an exciting journey and acquaintance with the country.

The 7 Summits Club guide Artem Rostovtsev reports from Papua, Irian Jaya Province, Indonesia:

Carstensz Pyramid News. The climbing season is coming to an end here, there will soon be much more rain, which means there will be nothing to do on the mountain. And our second and last expedition to the Carstensz Pyramid this season has successfully ended. Finally, the whole team was able to gather in Timika, after the mountain climbs. Part of the group stayed at the base camp waiting for the helicopter to fly down. Today the weather was good and everyone went down. We put the final point of the program at a gala dinner, the participants will take their well-deserved medals and certificates for the ascent home. We fly away tomorrow morning. Greetings to everyone from Papua!
