The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

 Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today our super-group "Inseparable" crossed the Cho-La pass (5420 m). This day will be remembered by all participants as the most difficult in our hike. But we overcame all the difficulties and are ready for further adventures.

Dmitry Semenov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, sends from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our super-group "Inseparable", as part of acclimatization, climbed the mountain Gokyo Ri (5357 m). After the descent and a short rest, we moved to the new lodge Dragnag (4700 m). Tomorrow is a difficult day - crossing the Chola Pass.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

 Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our supergroup "Inseparables", having made a short trek, reached to Gokyo. The day before, snow fell, which changed the surrounding views. In Gokyo we stayed in a luxurious hotel, overlooking the famous Gokyo Lake. The participants and guides were in a great mood. A hot shower revives and gives new strength.

Today, the branch of NP 1 of the Mountaineering School of the 7 Summits Club in Tuyuk-Su set out at dawn to climb Peak Oktyabryonok, 2A difficulty category. And then stood at the top in full force! All participants felt good and are eager to fight again. Tomorrow is a rest day according to the plan. Guides Alexey Lonchinsky and Viktor Volodin.

Good day to all from the mountaineering school of Tuyuk-Su! Today we had another day of rock training. The program included: working in ropes and descending along a fixed rope. The day turned out to be productive. After lunch, everyone got busy preparing for tomorrow's training ascent. Guides Alexey Lonchinsky and Viktor Volodin.

Dmitry Semenov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our group "Inseparable" made a trek from the village of Dole to the high-mountain lodge Machermo (4470 m). Today was not a difficult day, the trek took two and a half hours. Now the team has half a day of rest, time for reading books and board games.

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, on a rest day, our group visited the Everest View high-mountain hotel, located at an altitude of 3885 meters. Unfortunately, the weather did not allow us to see Everest and other peaks. But on the way back, we visited a monastery in the village of Khumjun, where we saw an exposed yeti scalp. The day was meaningful, full of impressions. Tomorrow is a new trek, we are moving along the path to our goal.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov from Iran:

Today we climbed Damavand - 5609m!!! On October 31 at 12:00 Iranian time, Ilya Gladkikh and I climbed the highest volcano in Asia. This is the second mountain from the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" project. The weather was not good at all, the climb was out of season. The wind was up to 60 km per hour. The temperature at the summit was minus 25. And there was already snow. I had three warm pants on. I have never put on so many! It was really hard to walk. But we managed.

Now we are urgently heading to Kilimanjaro!

Two volcanoes in 8 days - let's move on!

On the flip calendar, October 31. And a big hello to everyone from the Tuyuk-SU Mountaineering School! Today, everyone in a cheerful and friendly company again held rock classes and consolidated the material covered. Everyone is happy and satisfied. In the evening, we held a review of the classes and classes on maintaining documentation and preparing route sheets. With you were the 7 Summits Club guides Viktor Volodin, Ratmir Mukhametzyanov and Alexey Lonchinsky. See you in the mountains!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today our new supergroup with the working title "Inseparable", despite all the difficulties, reached the village of Phakding. There we settled in comfortable conditions, in the excellent lodge of the Sherpa Guide.

Ama Dablam. Yesterday I returned from the acclimatization rotation. I spent one night in C1 at 5800. In the morning, my Sherpa and I reached C2 at 6050 in two hours, there were almost no people on the ropes. The climb is not easy - many uncomfortable traverses and walls, and on the Yellow Tower we even had to sweat a little and hang.

By lunchtime we had already descended to the BC to rest. There was just a group of familiar guys led by Denis Aleksenko. In the evening, Katya and Masha joined us, who had climbed the summit of Ama Dablam in the morning at an incredibly fast pace. And a little later, Vika Bonya from the neighboring Nims camp came to dinner, bringing lard as a gift to Denis's group. You can tell right away - an experienced climber! In the mountains, lard is the most important and useful product. This morning, we saw off Denis's group to the assault. And a little later, the sisters flew to Kathmandu. Today is my day of rest. Tomorrow - the move to C1, the day after tomorrow - C3 and the assault at night.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal! The "Pandas" group successfully climbed the Central summit of Mera Peak! It was quite warm and windless that day. The climb took 6 hours. From the top, such peaks as Everest, Lhotse, Nuptse, Makalu, Baruntse and even Kanchenjunga were visible.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Nepal:

Greetings from mountainous Nepal from the group "Beryozka s salom"! Today we finished our program. This time we were not able to climb to the summit, but we do not give up hope to do it next time. There is time to prepare and with new strength to try again.

Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko from Nepal:

Ama Dablam Base Camp, 4600. Got here yesterday and immediately had several interesting meetings. I go into the mess hall, and there are our Borya Egorov and Alexey (Sivkov), who just came down from the summit of Ama Dablam, resting. They ran at a good pace from C2 to the summit and after lunch they went down to BC. And right there - the twins Katya and Masha - the heroines of the film about our expedition to K2. They ran in 2 days to Lobuche from Kathmandu and tomorrow they are running to the summit. "Speedy Squirrels" - what can you say.

My plan is to spend two nights at the BC and then an acclimatization hike to C1 at 5700. Borya and Alexey flew to Kathmandu early this morning.

 The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The "Pandas" group held an acclimatization day in Khare. They went to the viewpoint at 5200. After that, they held classes on moving along ropes with a jumar and a descender. Tomorrow we leave for the Mera Peak assault camp, at 5800.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

And-and-and… there is the summit of Ama Dablam! We left the second camp 6000m at 11 pm, at 6 am we met the dawn at 6814m. The first rocky part was brisk, but the 500m of vertical firn was not easy. There is nowhere to rest there, you need to constantly move and try not to think about where we are and what we are doing, just moving up. But at the top, it is beautiful! Now a well-deserved rest. Today we still managed to lose two kilometers and go down to the base camp, where we were met by Lyuda (Korobeshko). After all, Nepal is a meeting place for our friends, ha-ha. Hello everyone!

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide, Andrey Berezina, reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The "Pandas" group arrived today in Khare, a village located at the foot of Mera Peak. The trek was short, only 4 hours, with all the stops to explore the surrounding beauty. We rest the second part of the day. The altitude of 4900 m still makes itself felt.

 Good afternoon! The Iskorka group made a technically difficult ascent to the peak of Amangeldy!!! We climbed in conditions of limited visibility, we were accompanied by light precipitation, the wind was light gusts. In general, the weather is quite bearable. We were able to apply the skills acquired in rock classes and cope with the ascent perfectly! Beautiful and safe mountains to everyone!!!

Instructors Viktor Volodin and Alexey Lonchinsky.

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

 Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today, our super group "Berezka s salom" during a day's rest in the village of Khare, made an acclimatization hike to the Mera Peak base camp at an altitude of 5100 m.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The 7 Summits Club "Panda" group during these two days that we were without the Internet, crossed the Zatrva-La pass (4650), descended to Tuli-Karka, where we spent the night. And this morning we went to Kote (3500). If yesterday we walked most of the way up, today, on the contrary, we went down through the rhododendron forest. Tomorrow we go to Tagnak.
