Super-guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Nepal:

The group "In search of papaya" is in touch. Yesterday we had no communication, so the news for two days. Yesterday we traversed from Shrekharka to Yak Kharka.  This is almost a kilometer of difference, but the height has not changed much. A beautiful warm day with a light breeze and beautiful views. We tried not to strain ourselves too much and recover from the tedious ascent to Lake Tilicho. We got there quickly, we were in the camp by lunch.  Rested and slept well. Today we moved to the upper camp of Torong Pedi.  We reached it in 3 hours, slowly. The altitude is already felt, although it is much easier to walk after the lake than if we had immediately climbed here. Today, according to the plan, an early dinner and at 5 am exit to the Torong pass. I hope the weather will be good and we will easily cross over to the other side.

The 8000 Club has started its work. Among the first steps is a sports expedition on Mount Everest under the leadership of Viktor Volodin. The team is small, but quite capable. We wish the participants and the guide good weather, good luck!

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Nepal:

News from April 2. Namaste from the group "In search of papaya"! Today we left the village of Manang.  We left the best lodge on the trek and walked up the most beautiful valley. The weather was perfect, the sun was shining all day and crazy views of Annapurna, Pisang Summits, Tilicho and many others were opened. During the day we went up to the Tilicho base camp, settled in the lodge and are preparing for an early exit to the lake. Tomorrow is a difficult day: we leave at 4:30 in the morning. And today is dinner and early lights out.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! Today we started our trekking. We came out of Chame and saw the first big mountains. After an hour we reached a beautiful place with coffee and donuts. After the doughnuts, it was even more fun and enjoyable. The beautiful weather and the sun made us happy along the way. At lunch we stopped at another lodge to have a snack and relax. After lunch, we slowly reached the Upper Pisang, settled in the loggia. Then we went to the monastery for a cultural program and acclimatization. Tomorrow we go to Manang, looking forward to the incredible views of the mountains and a great walk.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Nepal:

 Good afternoon, greetings from Nepal!  We are at the start of the climbing season in the big mountains. And it all starts with small - we go to the trekking around Annapurna. Today we started our event.  Finally packed up, bought the missing things.  In Kathmandu, we walked through museums and visited Swayambhu stupa. Now we are packing up and preparing for tomorrow's flight to Pokhara.

A climber who first ascended on the summit above eight thousand meters gets the right to be called a member of the 8000 Club. It is enough for him to confirm his desire to join our community. Having joined our ranks, he has the right to receive a beautiful commemorative medal "For climbing the first eight-thousandther". So far, no one has been awarded this award.  You have a chance to become one of the first winners of this award!  Join our expeditions to the Himalayas and Karakorum!

The President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports:

Today, the first team of Sherpas of the expedition of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club on Everest reached the Base Camp (BC). It has been raining and snowing here for a week. The first cargo also flew to the BC by helicopter.  As usual, the glacier has changed completely in a year. All the flat places stood on end. We need to level up again.  The participants of Everest-23 arrive in Kathmandu only on April 15. And on the 17th, the start of trekking is scheduled, they will reach the Everest base camp only on April 25. That is, Sherpas can level and iron the glacier for another month. That's the hard work of our Sherpas.

Dear friends!  A few words about the upcoming season in Nepal. In addition to a large number of trekking and climbing groups, the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club organize an expedition on Mount Everest and an expedition on Makalu.

We have 13 participants on Everest now, a lot of Sherpas are involved, there will be a lot of oxygen and helicopters. Alexander Abramov will be a leader.  In the team: guide Viktor Volodin, doctor Andrey Selivanov and base camp manager Lena Abramova.

On Makalu we have a team of 8 climbers, it is headed by the famous Russian climber Lyudmila Korobeshko.

As always, we organize expeditions with the best possible service.

Follow the news! 

Your Alexander Abramov.

 The first expedition of the 8000.Club project  starts on April 17^th to the fifth highest peak in the World -Makalu. Lyudmila Korobeshko will lead the team.  Mount Makalu (8,485 m) has long been famous for a long and tedious trekking approach to the base camp. However, now all issues are being resolved with the help of a helicopter. Makalu is also a record holder among eight–thousanders in terms of the number of routes climbed and their variants. However, almost all of them have been completed only once. The absolute majority of climbers use the French route of 1955. It's A Classic!  A long detour route leads along the glacier and ends with a very beautiful final part.

 Another 8000.Club group will be working on Everest at this time. The team will be led by Viktor Volodin.  They have a special sport program. This year Nepal will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953.  Expedition of the 8000.Club will follow in the footsteps of the legendary Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.

 You will also be able to follow the news from these expeditions on the website of the 7 Summits Club.

  About a month is left before the start of our climbing programs to the summits of the Himalayan eight-thousandthers. The first to start is the traditional expedition of the 7 Summits Club on Mount Everest under the general leadership of Alexander Abramov.  The main group will work according to the classic program of climbing on the highest peak of the World with full service and maximum possible comfort.  And we will also repeat the successful program "Touching Everest" in the past years, with overcoming the legendary Khumbu icefall and climbing to the Camp 2.  

   This year Nepal will celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest in 1953.  The expedition of the 7 Summits Club will follow in the footsteps of the legendary Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay. We would like to be present at the celebration at the end of the expedition as full-fledged participants and happy winners!

 Also this season, the first programs of the 8000.Club project are being held:  big Makalu expedition with  Lyudmila Korobeshko as a leader and Everest by the special sports program (head Viktor Volodin).

Meanwhile, on Everest, the work of installing base camps, processing the route of ascent begins. The "Doctors of the Icefall" have already headed to the base camp to begin work in the Khumbu icefall. The Sherpa team of the 7 Summits Club gathered in Kathmandu before leaving for Lukla. The shipment of goods has begun. There is still a lot of work to be done in the preparatory period. From the photos, it can be felt that our Nepalese friends, our partners, are looking forward to the start of the expedition with great impatience.

 Introducing ourselves:

1. Club 8000 is a closed, elite club of climbers on the highest peaks of the World.

2. Only a person who has climbed on the summit above 8000 meters can become a member of the Club.

3. People who have climbed the peaks of 7000m and above can become candidates for Club membership. That's why we support the Snow Leopard project - the best high-altitude mountaineering school.

 The company "Club 8000"

Under the new project, a new organization was created, the company LLC "Club 8000".

Club 8000 is the first company in Russia that implements the most complex and prestigious project for organizing ascents of all 14 eight-thousand-meter peaks.  Every year we plan 5-6 expeditions to the peaks above 8000 meters.  All our expeditions are led by our super qualified high-altitude guides, climbers of Mount Everest, K2 and other eight-thousandth peaks. The company is headed by Alexander Abramov, the most famous leader of Himalayan expeditions in Russia, an authoritative all over the world, an 11-time climber of Mount Everest.

About 8000.club website

We have opened a new website. On it you will be able to get acquainted with all the climbing programs for 14 eight-thousand-meter and 5 seven-thousand-meter (Snow Leopard).  There will also be an opportunity to register, that is, to become a member of the Club. We will inform you about the progress of our expeditions.

Join the most ambitious and prestigious project "Climbing 14 eight-thousand-meters"!

A team of Sherpas working with the expedition of the 7 Summits Club on Mount Everest has started preparing equipment.  As usual, large and comfortable tents will be installed in the base camp. Our company has always been at the forefront in terms of comfort and convenience for the participants of the expedition. And this year we will try to do everything according to the highest standards.

On February 14, the group of the 7 Summits Club "Igoriashki" in full (16 participants and 8 guides) climbed on the summit of the most beautiful volcano in Colombia - Nevada del Tolima (5221 m). The ascent was not easy: strong wind, snow and almost complete lack of visibility. Now the team is preparing for new adventures in this wonderful country.

The 7 Summits Club invites you this year, 2023, to join an expedition to the Himalayas and climb the highest peak in the World, Mount Everest. If there is an opportunity – you need to go, there is no opportunity - you need to look!  The first reason not to postpone your participation in the attempt to climb Mount Everest is obvious. The world is far from political stability. The softest thing to say.

And if there is still an opportunity to celebrate something, we celebrate! This year Nepal is preparing to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the first ascent of Mount Everest. What is our benefit? The anniversary will be felt all along the route. And at the end of the expedition to Kathmandu, we will be greeted by a real carnival. There is every reason to assume that in 2024 China will open a route to Mount Everest from the north. And the main expedition of the 7 Summits Club will be conducted from there. If you want to climb Everest in the team of the legendary man Alex Abramov from Nepal, then it is unknown when the next opportunity will be. Probably from 2024 we will be on the north side.

Program and details

The 7 Summits Club continues to invite members for participation in the 2023 Everest expedition!  Alexander Abramov, the permanent leader of all Everest expeditions, will lead our next ascent to the highest peak in the World. Our twenty years of experience, our twenty years of efforts to improve service, to ensure security – everything is at your service! To all those who are ready for this, we invite you to familiarize yourself with our program, with our additional materials and make the right decision.  We advise you not to postpone your attempt to climb to the highest peak in the World, you understand why.
