Alex Abramov, the expedition leader from the base camp:

Yesterday our team climbed to the camp 5800 m. This is the so-called Intermediate or Middle camp. All members felt good.  It snows half a day, but this is usually in April.  We spent a night in the Middle camp and returned to the Base camp, in absolutely comfortable conditions.

Alex Abramov, the expedition leader from the base camp:

Today we climbed a little higher than the base camp and held training sessions. All members have worked well, we have mastered a new for many system climbing on fixed ropes. We checked the readiness of people and equipment.

Tomorrow early in the morning the team leaves to spend a night in camp 5800. The health of the members is excellent. The weather is bad, no visibility, periodically it snowing strong.

Alex Abramov, leader of Everest expedition  of the 7 Summits Club :

 News of my project "7 summits in 7 months". Greetings from Everest! Today we had a Puja, the consecration of the camp.  It was fun, all smeared with Jampay.  A massage salon was opened today. There was a yoga session after lunch. And at 5 PM, the bar was opened. Many guests from other expeditions come to us.  Today we sent a new caravan of cargo for the higher camps on yaks. Tomorrow we are going to acclimatize to the frozen cascades.

7 Summits, Hello! This is guide Dmitry Ermakov from Island peak. We successfully climbed Island peak. It was a very long climb up and an equally long descent. But we did!

Today our team Everest-2019 came to our super-comfortable "luxury camp". On the way we passed 10 check posts. But nothing bad happened. At the entrance of the camp we were met with champagne. We congratulated Ivan Pominov on his birthday. After a delicious lunch with borscht, there was training to work with oxygen equipment. Then birthday party continued in our bar (cabin company). Today the team sleeps in masks with artificial oxygen…

Dmitry Ermakov, a guide of the 7 Summit Club from Nepal:

7 Summits, hello!  Yesterday, our group was divided. A large part together with Vladimir Kotlyar left in Namche Bazaar, I and Valentine went to Chukung. It snowed all day. Today the weather got a little better and we climbed into the high camp at Island peak.  Tomorrow we will try to climb this beautiful mountain.

Today our team had a day full of adventures and impressions.  We moved from Lhasa in Shegar, admired the scenery of Tibet.   Visiting the market was the main thing in the new place.  This is our traditional place to buy blankets and pillows for the base camp.

While one part of our team is already coming to the Everest base camp, the second team yesterday arrived in Lhasa. The members sleep off after the flights, then visited the Potala -  Palace of the Dalai Lama. We bought different differences today.

Alexander Abramov, head of the Everest expedition:

 Members and guides of the 7 Summits Club  Everest expedition visited the city of Chengdu, looked at the pandas, tried Chinese cuisine…

Construction of a Luxury camp near Everest continues.  We are sure that the best camp on Everest will be built by the arrival of our team. We have developed a new kind of kitchen. It is equipped better than kitchens in restaurants of Kathmandu.  Kitchen is done in the tents form a semicircle, with hardwood floors.  There are made extractor fan, freezers, storerooms. And now we've built wooden floors in all the public tents.

 Need simply to see! Now in the Base camp from Tibet there is a constant electricity 24 hours, so all this has become possible.

 Eight members of the Everest expedition of the 7 Summits Club and two guides took off tonight from Moscow's Sheremetyevo airport.  Their way goes through the Chinese city of Chengdu to the Tibetan capital Lhasa, where they will begin their March to the base camp Everest. Another six members of the expedition arrive by other flights, and a guide Sergey Larin is already in the base camp.

 Good luck!

 The team flies to Everest

Namaste friends! News from a group of guides Dmitry Ermakov and Vladimir Kotlyar, wandering along the Himalayan trails to meet the mountain beauty. Today we marched to the village of Pherice, which was built at an altitude of 4270 meters above sea level. We lost our appetite, but not the fighting spirit!!!!  We continue our journey…

The base camp of the expedition  of the 7 Summits Club on Everest is certainly the best, most comfortable in the Himalayas. The accumulated vast experience in its organization allows the team of our Sherpas  quickly and efficiently recreate it from year to year. Now in the base camp  preparation works  are finishing. By the arrival of the guests, that is, the main part of the expedition, everything will be ready – the camp will be provided with everything necessary…

 The first members, guide and doctor in one person Sergey Larin, base camp manager Elena Abramova, our main Sherpas Mingma and Dendi on the way to the base camp…

Vladimir Kotlyar, guide of the 7 Summits Club:

Aloha, our dear! A large, but friendly and disciplined team of the 7 Summits Club, going to the base camp of Everest under the leadership of guides Ermakov and Kotlyar, stormed the height of 3876. That is, we came to a small town Tengboche. Weather favors us, the group has a fighting spirit. Now all together we went to get acquainted with the famous Buddhist monastery, built by Lama Gulu in 1916. And today it is our Grisha's birthday!!!! While the band is out, I'll make a cake.

The next expedition of the 7 Summits Club to Everest starts in April. By tradition, which is already 15 years old, we are going on the eve of departure of the main group for a friendly evening party. This year we will do it in a new place, with our friends from The Sports-Marathon. Last year they made an incredible feat: they opened a Club of Travelers almost in the center of the capital. In the lecture rooms everything is thought out and well arranged, there is a well-established equipment. The 7 Summits  Club hopes for long-term and fruitful cooperation with the creative team of The Sport-Marathon.

All, salute!!!! The group of guides Ermakov and Kotlyar, going to the Everest base camp, after testing of a long way to the airport Ramechhap and a more long waiting for departure in mountains, finally arrived in Lukla! No losses!  Since we were in Lukla late, it was decided to make minor changes to the original plan. We're staying here tonight. The mood of the group is fighting!!!

 Only a few days left before start of expedition of the 7 Summits Club on Everest,. Preparations are underway in Moscow, but most of them are going on in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, under the direction of our permanent “Director of Sherpas” Mingma Gelu.

 The pride of the 7 Summits Club is our team of Sherpas. It began to take shape in 2003. Thanks to the hard work, above all, the permanent leader of the expeditions, Alexander Abramov, an efficient, friendly team was created.  They clearly understand  their role and knows how to help climbers to achieve their goal. This year, 24 employees from Nepal, Sherpa nationality, will be  sent to Tibet with us to work as guides, high-altitude porters and cooks. They received a new set of clothes and are finishing preparations for going to the base camp.
