Nepal 2021

Maxim Shakirov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Greetings and congratulations on the New Year from Dingboche from the team "Without Olivier"! Max Shakirov is in touch. On December 31, in the evening, we reached Deboche, admiring on the way to Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse and Ama Dablam. The weather and hundreds of photos taken on the way made the mood of our New Year's party. Having opened a bottle of champagne brought from Moscow, we amicably celebrated the New Year in Magadan time. True, without olivier salad, but for that with jamon and sausage.

January 1st. The weather did not cease to please us and all the way from Deboche to Dingboche we stopped every now and then to capture the splendor surrounding us.

Tomorrow we leave for Lobuche. And we hope for the continuation of the weather extravaganza!

Maxim Shakirov, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:  Greetings to all from the team of the 7 Summits Club from Namche! Max Shakirov is in touch. Half a meter of snow fell here last night, the beauty is indescribable. Weather disasters have made changes to the schedule of our progress to the goal. Now we have to go up without stopping to rest. We will celebrate the New Year in Deboche. Our team wishes everyone a Happy New Year and wishes each of you health, love and beautiful ascents!

Maxim Shakirov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Hello to everyone from Phakding! Max Shakirov is in touch! Today we still managed to fly from Kathmandu to Lukla and make the transition to the place of the first overnight stay. We walked a little more than two hours to Phakding. With a good mood and appetite, we came to the cozy "Sherpa Guide Lodge", had a delicious dinner and went to bed. Tomorrow will be a difficult trek to Namche.  The mood and conditions in the team are excellent!!!

Viktor Volodin, guide of the 7 Summits Club group: Hello everyone!  We got to Kathmandu.  We are eating, sleeping off, tomorrow we will try to fly home. The dream is fulfilled, we are happy! Thank you all so much for worrying about us!

Victor Volodin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Dear friends, yesterday, 15.11, the mountaineer's dream came true. We climbed the beautiful  Mount Ama-Dablam! Thanks to everyone who supported us!

Victor Volodin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: The group of the 7 Summits Club "Mountaineer's Dream" is located at the Ama Dablam base camp. Everything is fine, everything is going according to plan.

On November 9, Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, climbed Ama Dablam. The dream has come true!  We are proud and cordially congratulate you on making a difficult ascent!  Happy victory!

Olga Rumyantseva: How was it? As expected. It's difficult, cold, and sometimes scary. While it is difficult to describe everything that has happened in recent days ...

Victor Volodin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Today, very early, at 1.30 am, our team left the base camp to storm Island Peak.  We were lucky with the weather, and at 8.30 we were already at the top. Thank you all so much for your support!

Viktor Volodin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Today the group of the 7 Summits Club "Mountaineer's Dream" visited the Everest base camp.  It's pretty deserted there, compared to spring. There are no people willing to climb Mount Everest in the fall. Although the weather is good, but it is much colder now than in spring. Good luck to all, and a lot of love!  And not only to the mountains.

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Hello everyone from Nepal! Yesterday we moved from Khare in a rush, first to Lukla by helicopter, and in the evening we arrived in Kathmandu. Just a day ago we were at the top of Mera Peak, and now Kathmandu, a hotel, a hot shower and real beds.

Today, those who have the strength left, took a walk around Kathmandu. We went to Swayambuthnath - one of the main attractions of the city, which is also called Monkey Hill.

All the participants are flying home tonight.

Viktor Volodin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: November is on the calendar, as usual, but the numbers change.  I congratulate everyone on the holiday, National Unity Day!  Everything is fine with us, today we made the transition to the village of Lobuche. It is already almost 5000 meters.  Everyone feels good!

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:

Hello everyone from Nepal We haven't been in touch for the last two days, but there have been a lot of events. First we went up and spent the night in the first camp at an altitude of 5200 meters. The next day we moved to the assault camp at an altitude of 5800 meters. After a short rest at night, our group went out to climb and almost in full force climbed on the top of Mera Peak.

Although we were waiting two days for the weather, but Mera peak didn 't relent. We managed to wait out the strongest winds, but the ascent was a real test. Strong wind and cold, very strong cold became an obstacle on the way to the top. But we have overcome all obstacles.

In the morning we stood on the summit, and in the evening we went down to the village of Khare.

 Victor Volodin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal:  On the calendar there is November 2. The team of the 7 Summits Club "Mountaineer's Dream" is moving higher and higher. Today we are going up to the high-rise monastery of Tiangboche.  In front of us throughout the view of this very dream of any climber – Ama Dablam. Watch and enjoy!

And so, we are at today's goal, we have come to Tiangboche. Everyone is healthy and cheerful, everything is fine.

Viktor Volodin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, expedition on Ama-Dablam: Good day to all!

The team of the 7 Summits Club, after spending a night in Phagding, continued along the Khumbu Valley. It's cool in the morning and we're going higher. By evening we reached Namche Bazaar. It gets colder in the evening, autumn makes itself felt.

 Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello everyone from Nepal! Days pass, and we still send greetings from the village with the lovely name of Khare. This morning we almost decided to move to the first camp, but after once again studying the weather forecast and its prospects, we decided not to risk it, but to wait another day.

Every member is ready to wait for the weather to become more favorable.

However, the forecast is improving and tomorrow we will go to the first camp.  And we plan to climb on the Mera Peak November 2. Today we walked around the neighborhood, climbed the local hill with a height of 5200 meters, from where beautiful views open.

Viktor Volodin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Greetings to all from sunny Nepal! Early this morning we arrived in Lukla, it greeted us with the sweet murmur of mountain streams, the gentle ringing of bells on the neck of mules. The whole group is full of energy and optimism, and moves slowly towards Everest. Big greetings to all colleagues!

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello everyone from Nepal!  From the foot of Mera Peak, where today our team is resting and preparing for the ascent. Early in the morning, as soon as the sun lit up the slopes of the surrounding mountains and warmed the air a little, we went to a lesson where participants learned to climb and descend on a fixed rope on a steep slope. This skill can be very useful to us during the ascent on Mera Peak. After the lesson, we walked around the village. We looked at how they live in other loggias, saw greenhouses where lettuce and cabbage grow.  This is a very strange sight at an altitude of 4900 meters, among snow and cold.

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of the 7 Summits Club:  Hello everyone from Nepal! Today we continued to move towards the Mera Peak. The peak is getting closer, the views are getting better. Today we went up to the village of Tagnak. It's hard to call it a village. Rather, several loggias located at an altitude of 4,300 meters. Everyone is in a great mood. In the evening we rest and prepare for the next day – we plan to  reach the village of Khare.

Olga Rumyantseva, super-guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Nepal: Hello everyone from Nepal! Today, the participants of the ascent of Mera Peak arrived in Kathmandu and began to get acquainted with this amazing country. For most of the participants, this is the first visit to Nepal, so when we finished everything, in the evening we went to one of the most beautiful places in Kathmandu and iconic places in Nepal - the Bodnath Stupa. It is the largest Buddhist stupa in the world, built in the sixth century. Tomorrow morning on the first flight we will fly to Lukla and start trekking towards Mera Peak…

Today, at 7:20, Roman Sudorgin, a member of the 7 Summits Club, climbed the eight-thousandth peak of Manaslu! Roman took part in an expedition organized by our Nepalese partners - the Seven Summits Trek company. As part of the team, he climbed on the top together with two Romanian climbers and four accompanying Sherpa guides. The group is now on the descent. We are waiting for news from the base camp, where there will be good communication.

On September 23, the trail to the top was trampled by the Sherpas of the Seven Summits Trek team. On the 25th, the first group of clients reached the highest point. Roman Sudorgin works as part of the second group of clients. There are now about 200 climbers on the slopes of Manaslu. Among them is a Russian disabled person, Rustam Nabiyev, who has passed acclimatization and now has to go out to storm the summit.
