August 6th,  representatives of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Khodak and NadejdaUsovich in the group company Aksay successfully climbed to the top of Lenin Peak. Congratulations! Season at Lenin Peak continues. Interest in this mountain this year has increased. With excellent service, our company  has this year almost one hundred percent success.

Hello! Abramov Alexander informs  directly from the summit  of Lenin peak. Second team of the 7 Summits Club climbed to the top. It  is Belkovich Vladimir, Sasha Utvenko, Sasha Sobolenko, Natasha Matusova and their guide Abramov Alexander. So.... Perfect weather, visibility, in fact, "thousand upon thousand", almost no wind. We're very, very lucky...

We spent two extra nights in the high camps. But we were lucky to catch the weather. Well done! Yay! Our epic peak Lenin for this year is over. I hope to come down alive and well at base camp. Bye!

Just called Alexander Abramov from the camp 1 (4400) at the peak of Lenin. All six participants of the second group feel great and ready to start tomorrow to climb to camp 2. And then they will go to the peak Razdelnaya, to camp 3 and then to the summit. However, at the moment, there is heavy snow. If until the morning  it does not stop, the outing will have to postpone for one day. Then the assault will occur on 6 August...

Hello,  7 Summits Club! Today, despite the strong wind, rainy weather, all our team members, namely the three guides and six members of the first group, climbed to the summit of Lenin Peak. It was very hard. To be honest, I didn't expect it would be so hard... But the team showed fantastic and everyone, absolutely, went up to the top

I am very happy...

 We climbed by two teams. The first team came exactly at 2 p.m. (Bishkek), the second at about 3.20. Well, in general, everything is fine... all  are alive! Beginning descent down. Once again, congratulations! It was not a very simple mission...

And below we are already waiting for our second group to Lenin Peak. Also six participants, three guide. Let's see what the outcome of this adventure.

All bye everyone! Big thanks to the company "Aksai", for a great service and support. All: guides, link and hopefully not a rescue, not a rescue! See you!

Lenin peak base camp (3800). Meet at the end of the table, just having down from the summit of Lenin peak and had 25 first ascent to this peak, Boris Korshunov. This veteran of nearly 82 years (born 31 August 1935), it is a unique 9-time "Snow leopard".

At the time, Boris participated in biological programs of the Institute of Space Biology and Medicine for detection of possibilities of the human body. In particular: the tolerance of man -60°C in a light suit, with vigorous blowing. So you want to wish to each of us in his 82 preserved health the Snow Leopard, zest for life and active life position!

Hello! Alexander Abramov from the expedition to Lenin peak, from the camp at 4400. Our whole team feels good. Tomorrow we are going to go to the camp at an altitude of 5300 meters. It will be the first real climbing day with crampons and ropes. Weather, frankly, is not good. Today is the first time I saw the summit of peak Lenin. And it is now again closed. Well, after lunch usually is snowing. Even with the thunderstorm. But we will hope for the best. While acclimatization – it is no worry. In a week when we go climbing, we'll see. All is good here: a lovely camp, great food. We all like to treat us just fine. Well, in General, everything is fine, don't worry. Photos can't send as a call via satellite. Mobile communications are not working. The mood is great, the team is good and it is called "ninja Turtles" because we go slow, like turtles. All bye everyone! Until next communication, I hope with 5300!

In preparation for the expedition Everest – 2018, for acclimatization before climbing Lenin peak, our team made a "first ascent" at the peak Grekov, a height of 4000 meters. We named this peak in honor of our friend (Dmitry Grekov – head of the company AK-SAI). This is just gendarme in the crest of Petrovskiy peak. Tomorrow our company goes out of Achik-Tash to the  Camp 1 at the altitude of 4400 meters.

So a season of climbing groups of the 7 summits Club on Lenin peak began. This Saturday four members of the first expedition arrived in Osh, they are now in the base camp and started to acclimatization. In total we will have 6 groups, two of them under the leadership of Alexander Abramov.

By the way, you can still join the August group to the ascent program with local guides.
