7 SuperMountains

January 7, 2018 a team of the 7 Summits Club  under the guidance of guide Alexei Lonchinsky successfully climbed to the highest peak of New Zealand's famous Mount Cook.

The team successfully took advantage of a weather window and advices of new Zealand guides.

Boris Yegorov,  a guide of the 7 Summits Club:

In preparation for the unique expedition to mount Fitzroy (Patagonia), which will take place in January next year, we organized a training session on the warm cliffs of Turkey. Turkey is unique place for autumn climbing, the season is here is in full swing, a variety of lasagna, 5 crops of oranges per year, grenades are falling from the trees right in the hands, good food and warm sea!

The participants discovered that rock climbing is not only within mountaineering, but it is interesting as an independent activity. We did not have much time, but an intensive schedule. We managed to go multi-pitch to remember the feeling of height, and tighten the level of climbing so that in the end it turned out to climb 6C category of difficulty, and this is not a beginner level! In General, we are ready for Patagonia.

Alex Lonchinsky, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Nepal:

Greetings from climbers on Ama Dablam! Today we went down from acclimatization rotation. We climbed to camp 2 (6100) and spent two nights in camp 1 (5800). Mikhail and Vadim coped normally with mountain adaptation. Now we went down to Pangboche (4000), where we plan to rest…

 Now, according to the forecast and feelings, the bad weather is coming.  When the favorable forecast will be clear, we will plan to start for summit climb.

Alex Lonchinsky, guide of the 7 Summits Club:

Hello! The Ama Dablam group has reached the village of Pengboche.  And this morning we went to the base camp of Ama Dablam. The mood is good, we gradually acclimatize. Tomorrow we plan to start the next rotation stage the exit to the second camp, with three nights.

Alex Lonchinsky, guide of the 7 Summits Club:

Hello! Yesterday we flew to Lukla, waited for the cargo, loaded on yaks. In honor of the birthday of the 7 Summits Club, slowly, for 3 hours, we reached Monjo. We stayed at the hospitable Monjo Gasthaus. We were welcomed, as it is here Sasha Gukov and I lived when I went to climb Mount Tamserku.

 Today we are already in Namche Bazaar, we continue to celebrate the birthday of 7 Summits Club!

The team of the 7 Summits Club successfully climbed summit and returns home. All alive and well. On August 12th, a group of 7 members and 3 guides climbed one of the most beautiful mountains in the world – Alpamayo. The climb was  made by a difficult route, there was a lot of blue ice.  This peak is included in our program 7 Super Mountains, to which we invite you to join.

Hello! This is Dos Piskas  team from Peru, Alexander Abramov. Today, at exactly 8 am, our team climbed to the top of Alpamayo.  The summit is small, so all climbers could not get together. We came in groups of 3-4 people. The weather was great, which helped us, of course.  It was very cold and difficult.  Just below the middle of the route there was still snow, and then went completely bare ice.  For many, it was a very difficult test. But, nevertheless, all people have shown themselves very well.

 The mountain is one of the seven in our project "SuperMountains", which includes technical routes, most famous, most beautiful, unique on the continent (Matterhorn, Ama Dablam, El Capitan, Mount Cook, Kenya, Ulvetanna).  

 Now we have already descended to the assault camp and begin descent further down.

Hello! This is Alexander Abramov, Dos Piskas group, climbing Alpamayo. Yesterday we went from the Camp Ruin Pampa at an altitude of 3900 meters to the base camp of Alpamayo at 4400 meters. Yesterday we were supposed to see the beautiful view of the Alpamayo.  But ... it's raining and snowing!

On May 8th Alexey Sivkov and Evgeny Lesnitsky, members of many of our travels, climbed the famous route Nose on El Capitan.  Two guides from the company 7 Summits Club helped them to make this achievement.    The ascent lasted for 3 days, including 2 nights on the wall (on the platforms) and one night on the summit of El Capitan.  We congratulate climbers on their victory and wish them new achievements and interesting mountains!
