Mont Blanc 2016

Today at 8:20 am local time, in spite of the bad weather and strong winds, Vadim Vokryachko and Maxim Foygel climbed the highest peak of the Alps, Mont Blanc. Our congratulations!

Artem Rostovtsev, a guide of the 7 Summits Club: August 31th.  We say farewell to the summer-2016 by climbing  Mont Blanc.  We made about 5,000  sidesteps up and  even more going down, twice .. It was excellent climb and real joy...!

Roman Gorodyshchensky, the 7 Summits Club guide: We came out of the hut Gouter at 3:40, walked slowly, it was cold, I think it was cold about -5, -8. The mountains around were covered with clouds. With the rise some of the group turned back. At the hut of Vallo (4300) I had to warm the feet to the client, the shoes were not designed for such an ascent. As we all warmed and  already it dawned, it became a little warmer. We started to climb again. And so, slowly, to the 9:30 a.m. we went to the top. The clouds were below us, on  the top there was a blowing breeze and it was very sunny. The camera frozen ....

Artem Rostovtsev, Alexander and Dmitry Tertychnyi successfully climbed Mont Blanc, at eight o'clock in the morning. Theку was a fog, but very occasionally. Otherwise, the weather is amazing. Later Yegor's group also reached the top.

Our congratulations!

 Today we begin work immediately  with 4 groups in Europe. Participants of the three groups will undertake an attempt to climb  the summit of Mont Blanc.

Members of the first group (Egor as a guide) are going to celebrate the birthday of his friend, Andrey Prudnikov, on the  top of the mountain. The second group consists of our novice heroes. This Alexander and Dmitry Tertychnyi. Father and son, actively conquer the peaks around the world. Dmitry is 15 years old, but he travels extensively with his father and raised to new heights. Guide: Artem Rostovtsev.

  And the third group it is  beautiful Catherine Kalabukhova, who came to Chamonix from the Principality of Monaco to see the beauty of the Alps with the highest peak in Western Europe -  with mountain guide Roman Gorodyshchensky.

A fourth group will climb first Matterhorn and Mont Blanc after. It is Vadim Vokryachko and as a  guide Maxim Foygel.

Maxim Foygel, a guide of  a group of the 7 Summits Club, from Chamonix:

Today, on the excellent weather we climbed on the rocks and warmed up on the via ferrata. We remembered the technique of belay, worked on rappels. In general, we have worked with all the heart ....

Kaliningrad boys Alexander and Yuri successfully reached the summit of Mont Blanc. Our congratulations! This success was possible through responsive leadership of our guide.

Today, 29 July, the 7 Summits Club starts  new alpine programs for the two groups. The first group plans to climb Mont Blanc. Today, they meet with their guide and start working on the standard program. Guys came by car from Kaliningrad to conquer the highest summit of Western Europe.

Climbing  Matterhorn – it is an individual program.  There is only two climbers in the group : a client and a guide. In the role of client it will be a woman again, this time it's Ekaterina Klenowa. Recently she had a birthday, and she decided to make a gift for herself: a climb a summit, which is the dream of every climber -  on the Matterhorn.

 At this time all participants are in Chamonix (including Ekaterina), enjoy the mountain air of the French Alps before the upcoming feats. They will spend a couple of days here in the acclimatization.

Lenar Khairutdinov and Albert Karimov successfully climbed the highest peak in the Alps. To reach Mont Blanc was not easy, after prolonged bad weather  there was a lot of snow and very few people. Our congratulations! New heights, new victories!

Our group on Mont Blanc acclimatized today near the Refuge de Gouter. Lenar Khairutdinov and Albert Karimov quite reasonably decided not to undertake the ascent attempt in the absence of visibility. They just walked around the neighborhood a mountain hut that always contributes to a better acclimatization. Tomorrow night our men plan to go on a decisive assault on the White Mountain.

They climbed the highest peak in the Alps. Weather conditions in the area of Mont Blanc summit were not the most favorable. This all can be seen in photos from the top that was sent us by guide of the 7 Summits Club Yegor Dulnev ...
