Nepal 2018

A group of  the 7 Summits Club headed by Andrey Podolyan made a trip to Nepal, with climbing to the top of Lobuche and Ama-Dablam.  They took the filming of the video very seriously. That was made a great movie. If we can get better through the normal campaign?

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorogunov from Nepal:

 Hello from Namche Bazaar!

Group going to Base camp Everest  named "Mandarins" on the first day of the new year went to Namche Bazaar. Everything goes according to the program.  We put on festive hats and congratulated everyone on the New year. Weather smiling upon us, opening up new views along the way, frozen waterfalls on the slopes. The higher we go, the colder it gets. But we are very well prepared.

 We wish you all a happy New Year!

Alexander Dorozhukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club:

Hello from Nepal! Today we climbed the mountain of  Kala Patthar!  The weather was gorgeous.  In the morning it was a little cold, but the beautiful scenery smoothed the heavy ascent and morning cold.  Our goals have been achieved - today we begin to descend.

Alexander Dorozhukov, guide of  the 7 Summits Club from Nepal:

 Hello from Nepal! Today we went up to the village Periche, height 4200. The weather is great all day, the morning we met a beautiful landscape. Then Ama Dablam seemed in all its glory. The weather was - how to order!

Alexander Dorozhkov, guide of 7 summits club from Nepal:

 Hello from Nepal! Today the Everest Base Camp group  moved to the village of Tengboche. Weather smiling upon us by beautiful mountains and calm weather - almost the whole day we were walking in t-shirts, very warm day. We are staying in a hotel, walking, enjoying the beauty of the mountains and the local monastery.

Greetings from Phakding! Today our group flew to Lukla and walked out on the route. We moved to the village of Phakding, ran to acclimatize to the monastery standing above. Weather was not good enough for views. But we hope that from the next day, the sun will accompany us on all the way of our journey…

Alexander Dorozhukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Nepal:

Hello, friends!  A group guided by Alexander Dorozhukov reached their goal: some people ascended Kala Pathar, some people went to the  Everest Base Camp. All the team members are tired but happy and started to go down.

Alexander Dorozhkov, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Nepal:

Greetings to all from Nepal!  Here is the group “Base camp of Everest”. We met yesterday in Kathmandu. Today we arrived in Lukla and took the route. The weather is great, the mood is also great. Tomorrow we have to go up to Namche Bazaar.

Today, two groups of the 7 Summits Club  independently made a successful ascent on the Himalayan six-thousander Mera Peak. It was: a group Sasha-Polya-Inna, and also spouses Anna and Alexey Shpak.  In the pictures we see good weather, they were lucky, so they saw the legendary panorama from this mountain…

I did it!  I climbed Lobuche East! Wow… such a mountain!  The average steepness of the snow slope is about 35-45 degrees, and sometimes reaches 50.

The way up took 4 hours 45 min., descent to the camp 2 hours. And return to the village Lobuche seemed never-ending and never succumbed to any dimension...

 On the eve of the ascent, still kneeling in the snow, I earnestly beg the gods of good weather... And gods, stubbornly wanting still to hear anything about the scorching sun and the clear sky, suddenly turned towards me, revealing a truly magnificent, breathtaking views!!!

 I express my gratitude to the local gods, as well as to the 7 Summits Club  for prompt organization of my individual climbing)))

Anna and Alexey Shpak from Nepal:

Today we started from Lobuche Village and went to Kala Patthar. We came down from the top to the base camp of Mount Everest. And then we went back to Lobuche almost  for dinner time. We had a long day: work up 20 horizontal km above Lobuche.

Natalia and Igor Smirnovs from Nepal:

Yesterday, April 26, we successfully climbed Dump peak 6015. Here it is also called Tapa Peak. We would not call this  mountain a trekking peak. It was rather hard  with the use of crampons, ropes and harnesses. At some point, we regretted not taking the ice axes. There were even sections of rock climbing at an altitude of 5600-5800. However, we are usually lucky with the route-the rain, the ice, the snow on the waist.

Today in the morning we went down to the village of Marfa at an altitude of 2700.

In General, it was a great trekking with picturesque views of Dhaulagiri and a worthy end of the route-climbing to the Dampus peak!

Alexander Dorozhukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Nepal: A new group for Everest Base Camp, 14 men, flew to Lukla and started moving along the route. The weather is beautiful, the participants love all nature around the trail. Guides: Valeriy Myasoedov and Alexander Dorozhukov…

Hello from Nepal! We climbed Kala Patthar and saw a stunning panorama of the Himalayas! The weather in the morning caused some confusion, starless sky and poor visibility. But we decided - let's go! An hour later, the cloud began to settle, and all opened! This is a must see!... We were on Kala Patthar  as not doubting, and on the descent saw the strings of those who love to sleep in! ...

Valeriy Myasoedov, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Nepal:

 Hello from Nepal! The group's Harmless Newcomers program is coming to the equator, tomorrow early we will climb Kala Patar.  The forecast is good, it should be clear, and we hope we will be able to get the best views of Everest and nearby giants. Yesterday on the transition in Lobuche we made the obligatory stop at the Memorial to fallen climbers and honored their memory.

 And today there was an exit from Gorak Shep to the Base camp of Everest, the culmination of the program, for which all the participants of our groups come. Everest hid from us in the clouds, but we examined the Base camp thoroughly and tasted coffee in one of the Nepali expeditions, friends of our Namgel.

 View of the Base Camp and Khumbu glacier.

 Tomorrow's early exit, so today's early departure. Wait for photo with Kala Patar!

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Valery Myasoedov:

 Namaste from Kathmandu!  The first group trekking to Everest BC is here. Someone had almost the whole day to enjoy the exotic squares and palaces of the capital and the drilling of the Thamel, someone arrived literally on the flag...  But tomorrow at 6: 15 there will be a flight to Lukla. Early rise in 4.15 was perceived with a little inspiration, but with a great understanding! After all, tomorrow is the start  of that everyone had been waiting for long and to which so prepared.

Meeting at the airport.  As always, we are the most visible!

How can you look so spiritual after the flight Magadan - Moscow - Doha-Kathmandu, we must ask Natalia and Constantine!

No wonder Anton has almost 7000 followers on Instagram! The smile makes the man!...

Cable hubs of Thamel. One of the local attractions. Never ceases to amaze!...

Well, it is Thamel! Boiling cauldron, nothing has changed!...
