A guide of our Club Alexey Lonchinsky and his partner Alexander Gukov go in Chamonix for the Piolet d'Or!

The organizers of the "Piolet d'Or" contest surprise all and delight us. They changed all formats of determination the winners. This year, two experts made a large list of climbing, which they liked. And a big jury had already chosen three winners.

Among them, and our St. Petersburg friends! CONGRATULATIONS!

April 9-12, Chamonix – Courmayeur awaits them for a pleasant trip, without a usual nervous tension. Most likely, French will not change their minds, as for "Mistral".

That's what we wrote last December, congratulating a guide and coach of 7 Summits Club Alexey Lonchinsky to obtain "Russian Golden Piolet": "Congratulations to our tour guide, coach and friend, a wonderful guy and a wonderful athlete Liosha Lonchinsky! Deserved victory! All the others were also good, worthy contenders. But experts still knew things when adjudicated. Now it is up to the French (world) Piolet d'Or! "
