Fitz-Roy. 2019

Evgeny Lesnitsky and Alexey Sivkov under the guidance of two instructors of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Lastochkin and Boris Egorov made a bold attempt to climb one of the most inaccessible peaks of the world – Fitz-Roy.  And as usual, Eugene Lesnitsky mounted a musical film on the theme of this heroic attempt:

Boris Yegorov, guide of the  7 Summits Club from Patagonia:

Hello dears! This is the guides Boris Yegorov and Sasha Lastochkin. Yesterday we made an attempt to climb to the top of Mount Fitz Roy.  At first everything went well. We came in the dark under the start point to the shoulder.  At first there were steep snow and ice, we're through with it.  But as soon as we came out under the wall, towards us the hurricane blew, we were almost blown from the pass. We wanted to climb, but with such wind and cold it was too much for us. We turned back. We got down without a problem. But everyone is happy, made the most, to turn in time it is great art!

Boris Yegorov, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Patagonia:

Hello, dears! We stomped for seven and a half hours, climbed about 1300 m with huge backpacks to make a depot on the Pass. But down we fled quickly, for four hours. The weather was incredible for Patagonia:  absolute absence of wind and bright sun. We've been enjoying the super views of Fitz-Roy all along.  Now the mountain is a little closer to us. According to the plan we will have two days of rest.  And on Saturday we will start our way to the summit.

Boris Yegorov, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Patagonia:

Hello dears!  There is a climbing group led by Boris Yegorov and Sasha Lastochkin. Today we climbed a multi-pitch in the vicinity of El Chalten.  We have worked out each of their roles to perfection, enjoy high-quality climbing and cool views. Of course, we celebrated it at a local restaurant. Then we are going to do tomorrow depot on the famous Paso Superior. We have 6 hours to go one way, dig a snow cave for the future and return to spend a night in the heat. Tomorrow should be good weather for climbing the Pass, then the wind starts. We plan to start the climb of Mount Fitz-Roy approximately at the beginning of next week – inshallah…

Boris Yegorov, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Argentina:

Hello dears! There are guides Boris Egorov and Sasha Lastochkin. Today we arrived in Patagonia in the city of El Calafate. There is already a cold wind, but it does not hinder for walking. We with our group bought up some equipment and finally tried the famous Argentine steaks. The mood is high, we continue to get used to the local time and try to walk more, as we will have long approaches.
