  A few days ago, another 5 climbers from the 7 Summits Club went on climbing Belukha.

Current weather in Altai was a bit spoiled, but we very much hope that our local guides - Ivan Khrabry and Alexander Maslov, as always, "will find a window"...

We spent  unforgettable 10 days north of the 78 parallel.

The weather was hot for the north, almost +10. During this time, we managed to:

- To furrow  the sea on a boat Polyartsirkul,

- Take a walk on the tundra and climb the Mount of Pyramid,

- Communicate with deer and whales,

- To assess the blue glaciers of Spitsbergen,

- Visit the monument to the victory of communism,

- Be removed from the ice floes,

- And finally fall in love with the North ...

Just a bear hug we experienced only in a museum. And thank God...

July 9^th  the first group of the 7 Summits Club fly in the Pamirs. A total of this season it  will be four groups  - a record number for our company. Lenin Peak - this is a great opportunity to really feel the altitude of the first step to the expeditionary mountaineering. Route at all its stages and components of the long hours worked by our hosting partners, in terms of logistics - everything clearly and without problems. But the decisive factor is still personal involvement of each person. The victory, if the Mountain let, will be a personal victory for everyone.

  Andrey Parshin has shared pictures from Armenia. At the May holidays, he was able to climb one of the peaks of Aragats - South. The weather was not always kind to guests. But in any case, the short journey was eventful and rich in experience. In particular, it was possible to observe a panorama of Mount Ararat (Big and Small).

Julia and Olga were in the mountains of the High Atlas from 10 to 13 May and met the birthday of Olga Zaichenko on top of Mount Toubkal. Congratulations to Olga a happy birthday and a successful ascent! They did it so even though it was not easy!

Hi, Seven Summits Club! It is Artem Rostovtsev from a South American program. I

have already reported of the Ecuadorian pro, then we had the Peruvian, which ended early yesterday morning. We managed to see the ancient capital of the Inca city of Cusco, where everyone enjoyed it. And then we went to Machu Picchu that is one of the current "seven wonders of the world."  We were lucky with the weather - it was gorgeous. We finished the Peruvian program, as I said, yesterday morning. We went to Argentina in Mendoza, with the main aim of the expedition - the ascent to Aconcagua. But then it turned out that, due to the closure of the road,  the authorities will not issue permits for Aconcagua next 2-3 days.

 In the end, we decided not to sit those extra days just idly in Mendoza. We opted for another interesting summit, the second highest in South America and in general the highest volcano in the world - Ojos del Salado. So now I am telling from Chile, the city of Copiapo, is in the middle Atacama. And a few hours later, we have already put forward in the Ojos del Salado side. There we hope to meet with the group of Alex Abramov …

Hello! Alexander Abramov and Ludmila Korobeshko from the foot of the Mount of Matterhorn. Now we are, half an hour ago, came to the hut Hёrnli. Chic new hut, and we managed to find a winter bay. It was on the second floor and have to climb the stairs.
Well everything is inside: 20 beds, light, of course, a place for cooking and even a battery that works. The only problem is, there's no blankets. It is specially made to how few people there for the night. We  also did not bring sleeping bags...

Hello Luba, Marina, Olga!

We have in Russia already. The second day in the air, and in that time we has not yet managed to realize that our nearly month trip to Australia and New Zealand is over. Thanks to Olga, who organized this wonderful trip. Thanks to Marina and Lyuba, who supported and inspired us all this time. Thanks to Alexey Vikulov that was for us an island of security in a faraway country. And all the 7 Summits Club.
Vladimir, Tatiana, Marguerita

Family Gusakovsky (Vladimir, Tatiana and Margarita) - active participants of the 7 Summits Club programs, avid travelers, and well-known experts on Hibin and psychologists. Their trip to the "Far South" began on August 3. In the first half of the trip, they met all the best in a mountain mainland of Australia at Blue Mountain and Mount Uluru. August, 8th the group moved (flown by plane) in New Zealand. Now they are on the South Island of New Zealand, the journey will end on August 20.

Vladimir Gusakovsky: Today we moved to the South Island of New Zealand. A huge number of impressions, both natural and cultural plan, is leaving a feeling of unreality. It is the skyscrapers of Sydney, and the Australian desert orange mountains and unreal beauty of New Zealand landscapes and mystical Hobbiton, and bloodthirsty Maori dances. The route is not finished yet, and already we have experiences for few years ...

I enclose a few of the many photo:

All members of the group of 7 Summits Club successfully climbed the highest peak in the Russian Altai - mountain Belukha. The weather was beautiful, and almost all the way the sun was shining. Today  the second group starts. We hope that this time  the mountain will allow to climb to the top.

Last Thursday, our manager Marina Nemirova went on a trip to Svalbard, particularly in the Russian city of Barentsburg. Today she sent the first message:

Marina Nemirova: Our charter 737 landed on schedule in the archipelago of Svalbard in the Norwegian town of Longyearbyen. Arctic! This could only dream of! And then it happened!
In Longyearbyen, we visited the local museum and a wonderful art gallery, which presents not only the paintings of landscapes of the Arctic, but also ancient maps.
Then we got a special equipment, embarked on snowmobiles and in total darkness covered the distance of 70 km to the Russian city of Barentsburg. The evening ended with a tasting of fresh beer from the local brewery, and before going to bed we saw the northern lights!

Hello, This is again Vladimir Kotlyar in touch! )))))

Now I am in Ecuador! Why am I here? Quite simply, the fact that I am madly loved South America and in my spare time, decided not to spend in vain, and to study other mountains of the region ...
As in Peru and Bolivia, now it rains, I am in Ecuador. So yesterday I went with a friend for the first volcano that rises just above the town.
Pichincha (4695) !!!
We were put on the top the flag of our Club !!!!

273 pictures of very high quality. The unique beauty of sunsets and sunrises on Aconcagua, the hardships and joys of climbing expedition of the group Todos Juntos, trekking, overnights, and, finally, the summit. So detailed that no needs longer climb yourself, everything is clear. BUT so beautiful that legs ask for boots and shoulders for a backpack. When again in the mountains?

Completely look for the gallery here >>>>>>>

Olesya Lelyushkina from Ecuador:

According to the schedule, we climbed on Pasachoa on Iliniza Norte. On Iliniza suddenly began thunderstorm, lightning struck the iron cross, which stands on top just when we were there, we hurried down.

We met the New Year in a beautiful hotel, and on January 1 went to a neighboring village to watch the rodeo. January 2 we climbed up Moun Cotopaxi, started the climb at midnight, at the top we were at 7am. And in 2 hours of the night suddenly started wind, with speed that guides rated as 70 km per hour, many climbers turned back. The ascent was not easy out - the wind, our team rose to the top at full strength - 3 members and 2 guides on the top of our group was one of the earliest.

In the afternoon we returned to Quito. January 3 we are going on a trip to Mindo, a walk through the rainforest, see waterfalls, butterflies and hummingbirds. We will gain strength before climbing Chimborazo.

The leaders of 7 Summits Club Alex Abramov and Ludmila Korobeshko have climbed the highest active volcano in Europe. So they marked the thirteenth anniversary of their wedding. Every year - a new summit, in a new area.

The member of a group of 7 Summits Club Julia Fomina shared their impressions and photos from the expedition to the Kuril Islands. "Everything was just great! Very good local guides. Everything was perfectly organized. They fed us local delicacies.

I can't say that I like the most, because I liked EVERYTHING"

The message from clubmen of 7 Summits Club. Our three members Andrey Filkov, Alex Morozov, Vladimir Doronin just went down from the summit of Giluve. Everything is good, weather was fine. Such here happens seldom – practically never happens. Now they go down, details later.

Mount Giluve is the highest volcano of the continent ща Australia.
