Yesterday, March 19, in Moscow on the traditional gala-evening (party) of the "7 Summits Club" there was a significant event. Lyudmila Korobeshko and Alexander Abramov were awarded by Orders of Edelweiss. This award is given by a special committee of the veterans of Russian mountaineering.

A well-deserved reward! Few Russians have done so much to promote mountaineering among the masses.

Lyudmila - the first Russian woman to finish the program "Seven Summits", and the first in the World made it twice. Alexander is also a famous person. He tactfully reminded at the party - he is the third Russian, completed the program "Seven Volcanoes", a program of climbing to the highest volcanoes all over the world. Two times Seven Summits, 6 times Mount Everest summit. And together, they are a family of owners of the 7 Summits Club – the leading climbing company in whole Eastern Europe.

Mt. Everest (North Side) Summiter List of Spring 2014

All our Members and Sherpas had reached the Summit of the Mt. Everest from Tibet Side!

The Mt. Everest Summiter name list is :

Alex report: Hello! Yesterday, May 25, our second team (all members and guides) also reached the summit of Everest. The weather was not very good. There were many people, too many. So we could not go down immediately to the camp ABC, as we usually do. The team spent the night at the camp an altitude of 7700 meters. Now we slowly continue to descend to ABC. We're good ... and perfectly. I will try to dictate names of summiters. First two Ladies: Iwona Zadarnowska from Poland and Natasha Matusova from Russia. Now on: Alexander Abramov , Sergey Larin , both for the sixth time, Dmitry Ermakov, Alexey Boutin ... Who else ? Igor Stolyarov, Vladimir Voronin of Ukraine, seven Sherpas and Ravil Shamgulov, a Canadian citizen. I hope no one has forgotten.

It was difficult climb, very difficult. But actually we were lucky with the weather. Because when the number of 100 people in one day started, if a hurricane or some snow, then some people would have remained on the mountain. That's right. In our expedition all climbed the top:

14 members 3 guides and 14 Sherpas.

All except those who left us after acclimatization due to illness. I mean Kostya Ugriumov and Patrick Butler from Ireland.

Now we are all on the North Col , but it is still too early to celebrate ....

Hello! This is Alex Abramov. Today we have a great event. The first team - in strong wind and snow, reached the summit of Everest. They were on top at about 7 am, with a gap of about half an hour. All seven members, seven Sherpas and guide Noel Hanna were on the summit of Everest. Now they go down. Surnames : Vasya Kernitsky, Zygmunt Berdyhovsky from Poland, Derek Mahon from Ireland, and Russian - Anton Seleznev, Sergey Dmitriev, Denis Abuev, Vlad Lachkarev. All now in the process of descent from the top…

And the second team goes to meet them from the camp of 7700, hopefully tonight to make the same heroic feat and go down alive and healthy. Goodbye!

Hello! Alex Abramov reports from the North Col of Everest. This is past few days, we hope - the last days of our expedition ... The first team of 9 members is now coming from the height of 7700 to the camp 8300 . Second team follows them from a height of 7300 to 7700 . Good weather - not a cloud. Wind, for me from the tent ... well it seems pretty weak. Follow our news. Until now everything goes according to plan. And , in general, on the next night the first team should go for the summit. Goodbye!

Alex Abramov from the Everest base camp :

As you understand, all members are alive and well, all ready to storm the Summit. May 17 th, after studying the weather forecast, the guides decided to start out in the morning on May 18th. Team led by Noel Hanna came out of the Base camp to the Middle camp .

And tomorrow, the second team under the leadership of Alex Abramov will be start in the same direction.

Days of summit bid for two groups scheduled now for 25th and 26th of May .

The day before, we had a party on the end of the seating in the base camp. We invited the team Adventure Peaks, led by my friend Rob, with whom we often met in Antarctica.

It was a lot of music, and dance, and toasts, and even a " farewell cake ."

And see latest pictures:

Our team sits at the base camp and it looks like another 10 days the weather will not good. Forecast gave a good weather on May 27, may be. Of course, if the monsoon not comes.

We tried to have fun, watch movies etc. Billiards Championship of camp is in full swing. Maybe we'll go down to catch trout. Natasha and Sergei cooked Russian salad and fried potatoes.

In general, this year the weather does not make us happy: on the top constantly there is strong wind 100 km / h and more. Sherpas team have not fixed the ropes and said that until May 25 they could not do it.

The main thing that our mood is GREAT !
