 Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal! The group continues to acclimatize and prepare for the ascent of Mera Peak. As part of the program, we climbed a nearby hill early in the morning, to the height 5,300 meters.  In the afternoon, we decided to recall the skills of moving on ropes, with the help of jumars and abseil devices.  Tomorrow we go to the glacier, where we will master climbing skills in crampons and in rope belay.

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! Our group reached the village of Khare. Here the group will spend a couple of days to acclimatize and prepare for climbing Mera Peak. Today we walked to Khara without hurrying, on the way we looked at a picturesque mountain lake, where we held a photo shoot. Then we met Edelweiss flowers everywhere along the trail.  Tomorrow we are planning an acclimatization rotation to 5100 meters. And to prepare for snow and ice classes.

Alexander Abramov: In March 2023, the 7 Summits Club and our new project  8000.guide plans an international women's team expedition on the first conquered eight-thousand-meter Annapurna and shoot the film ""High-Altitude Gene -2".  The dates are March 20 - April 20, 2023.

I would like to invite women with experience of climbing 8000 meters to take part in this unique expedition. This expedition is funded by the participants themselves. The film is shot at the expense of sponsors.

 About this unique female expedition RD Studio and Valdis Pelsh are going to make a film "High-Altitude Gene -2".  We will shoot the whole expedition with professional equipment by professional operators, guides and participants. Like the first sensational TV series "High-Altitude Gene -1", we will shoot this film in the format of a Reality Show. Alexander Abramov will lead the expedition.

 The core staff of the team is already there. I invite new participants!

To prepare for the expedition on Annapurna, I invite the girls to take part in a training trip to the highest volcano in the World - Mount Ojos Del Salado in Chile. To get acquainted and see who is how prepared. After the training ascent, the final composition of the Annpurna team will be formed.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

Today, though it's a day of rest, but hands are reaching out to jumar!  We decided to remember the forgotten and held rock lessons.  Work on vertical, horizontal fixed ropes and abseil. Everyone worked out everything perfectly, without fear and reproach.

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Namaste frome Nepal!  The group "Nepalese made" continues its way to the foot of Mera Peak. Today we went down to the village of Khote, located at an altitude of 3600 meters. The way was relaxing, as we were dropping altitude, and at the same time pleasant.  We were walking through a mixed forest.  Fir trees, rhododendrons, boxwoods, and even raspberry bushes were present on our way.  Tomorrow we will go to the village of Tagnak at 4350 m…

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

After a long wandering through the beautiful Himalayas and enjoying the Summits such as Everest, Lhotse, Ama-Dablam and many other beautiful snow-white peaks, we came to the place. Yesterday, on October 24, the "Upward Movement" group in full strength, in good physical shape, reached the Ama-Dablam base camp. And what a miracle surrounded us here: a beautiful clearing, cozy comfortable tents, great food, dry red wine, meat, shower, and most importantly - a view directly to one of the most beautiful mountains of the Himalayas.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

Today started at 4 am. While we warmed up, we got ready and at 5 we went to our last acclimatization rotation to Kala Patthar. It was cold enough in the morning, but we overcame the difficulties and climbed to the 5600 mark. And there we met the sunrise in all its glory. The sun's rays illuminated the giants of the Himalayas - Everest, Pumori, Nuptse and many different beautiful untouched mountains. Next we have to descend to Deboche. The weather is good, the participants are in good shape.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

It's October 22nd.  The Upward Movement Group has done a great job today. We left Lobuche, reached Gorakshep, had lunch there and moved to the Everest base camp.  The weather favours us, but the wind drove us. The participants feel good, the mood is even better. Tomorrow, an early exit for the decisive acclimatization climb - to Kala Patthar 5600 m. Have a good weekend!

Andrey Berezin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

The Nepalese Made group has successfully reached Lukla today (the beginning of our walking path to Mera Peak). We drove along mountain roads, flew on flying taxi. Now we have finished the organizational issues and had lunch. Then we go on the road.

P.S. There may be no communication in the next few days.

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! A new group of the 7 Summits Club called "Nepalese made" has gathered in Kathmandu and is ready to go to Lukla. From where on our way lies towards Mera Peak, the highest trekking peak in Nepal, 6476 meters.

Today we managed to solve the necessary organizational issues: we changed the money, bought local SIM cards, bought the missing equipment.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

Today we have October 21. The weather is surprisingly sunny and windless.  The group "Upward Movement" slowly left the village of Feriche and slowly reached the village of Lobuche, having passed the five thousandth milestone. Conditions and mood of all participants are excellent. All good mood and positive in life!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

 The Upward Movement group moves up the Khumbu Valley.  Today we walked from Namche Bazar to Tiangboche, visited the famous monastery and then moved to the village of Pangboche. The participants feel well. The weather is slightly cloudy, but the mood is combative.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

On the calendar on October 17. The Upward Movement group left the village of Phanding in the morning. We walked surrounded by big mountains and suspension bridges. We took a few hours to get to the capital of the Sherpas, Namche Bazaar, without hurrying. The weather is wonderful, the views from the hotel window are magnificent.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club, Viktor Volodin, reports from Nepal:

The “Upward Movement” Group flew to Lukla by helicopter.  Then we went up to the village of Phakding.  The weather is fine, the condition of the trail is wonderful, the mood of the participants is fighting.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Nepal:

Kathmandu met us with good weather. All participants are assembled, in full health and good mind. Today we are walking around Kathmandu, tomorrow we are scheduled to fly to Lukla.

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

That's the end of the climbing program in Turkey. On the last day, Alexey and Zhenya and I scouted the distant canyon sector. It is a beautiful place near the sea. We climbed not so much, but at the same time quite difficult routes of the 6th and 7th categories. And swam in the sea on a wild beach. We had a good workout during the trip and were a little tired. We got what we wanted.

 The 7 Summits Club together with the project 8000.Guide opens booking for expeditions to all 14 eight-thousandths of the world! In the spring of 2023, we plan to climb three of the fourteen highest Summits.  "Annapurna is the first eight–thousandth."  And it will be the first in our project.  On the basis of many years of practice, expeditions began to climb Annapurna at the very beginning of the spring season. It's more cool, but the avalanche danger is significantly reduced. And in the same season, you can have time to recover and go to other eight-thousandth. Including Everest.
