Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club:

Today Alexander Abramov and our Ecuadorian guide Edgar Parra climbed the highest peak of Ecuador Chimborazo 6310m (the highest mountain in the world, if measured from the center of the Earth). Since the ascent was made without acclimatization, before that there was only one night at 3500, it was very difficult. But, nevertheless, we ascended to the Main peak of the mountain, which is an hour from the Western.

As the ascent was accomplished without acclimatization, was one night at 3500, it went hard. But, nevertheless, we ascended to the main peak of the mountain, which is an hour from the Western peak. On this day, all the other teams turned back. Now we're going to climb  Cotopaxi.

The team of the 7 Summits Club successfully climbed summit and returns home. All alive and well. On August 12th, a group of 7 members and 3 guides climbed one of the most beautiful mountains in the world – Alpamayo. The climb was  made by a difficult route, there was a lot of blue ice.  This peak is included in our program 7 Super Mountains, to which we invite you to join.

Hello! This is Dos Piskas  team from Peru, Alexander Abramov. Today, at exactly 8 am, our team climbed to the top of Alpamayo.  The summit is small, so all climbers could not get together. We came in groups of 3-4 people. The weather was great, which helped us, of course.  It was very cold and difficult.  Just below the middle of the route there was still snow, and then went completely bare ice.  For many, it was a very difficult test. But, nevertheless, all people have shown themselves very well.

 The mountain is one of the seven in our project "SuperMountains", which includes technical routes, most famous, most beautiful, unique on the continent (Matterhorn, Ama Dablam, El Capitan, Mount Cook, Kenya, Ulvetanna).  

 Now we have already descended to the assault camp and begin descent further down.

Hello! This is Alexander Abramov, Dos Piskas group, climbing Alpamayo. Yesterday we went from the Camp Ruin Pampa at an altitude of 3900 meters to the base camp of Alpamayo at 4400 meters. Yesterday we were supposed to see the beautiful view of the Alpamayo.  But ... it's raining and snowing!

The President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov from Peru:

Team Dos Piskas. Today is the first day of trekking.  We drove 3 hours to the village at the altitude of 3100 m. Very scenic views.  We hired donkeys and went up. We planned to go directly to the camp 4500m, but changed our mind and decided to stay at an altitude of 3900. There's still Internet. Tomorrow we go to the pass 4800 m and go down to 4400. Weather's great.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov from Peru:

Dos Piskas team gathered in Lima today. First of all, we visited local museums. And of course we joined the fish cuisine and local drinks. Tomorrow at 3 in the morning we leave for Huaraz

Lyudmila Korobeshko, group guide, Director of the Club 7 Tops:

 Hello from Bolivia Asay from Me and our group of al-Ko! Late last night we finally returned from the Atacama desert, where we found the valley of geysers at an altitude of almost 5000M, the Dali desert, stone figures, warm springs and KILIMANJARO! Amazing places! Would definitely recommend a visit! Surrealism is complete! And today We have made this! We passed on THE road of DEATH with a breeze and a rain! About 60 km in length and 3.5 km in Delta! Sometimes breath-taking-on sharp turns and under waterfalls.

Ludmila Korobeshko, a group guide, director of the 7 Summits Club:

 Hello everyone from Bolivia! Again from La Paz. Today we all together, like one, climbed to the top of Mount Huayna Potosi. All  people were in shock and delight! Previously, the boys had as a  favorite mountain Orizaba. Now, it looks like Huyana Potosi has taken this place.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, group guide, Director of the 7 Summits Club:

 Hello from Bolivia from the Lake of Titicaca! We've been traveling Bolivia for three days. Today we made an easy trekking through the Sun island in the heart of lake Titicaca. In the morning we left La Paz. Already on the shore of the lake we visited the place where the legendary vessel of Thor Heyerdahl - RA 2, which overcame the Atlantic, was built from reeds.

 Then we get to the religious center of Bolivia's town of Copacabana, from where the boat sailed to the island of the Sun. Beautiful picnic in nature, visiting the ruins of the residence of the rulers of the Incas, hike to 4000.  We got to our home near the village of Yumani only a sunset. Sunset itself we met at the highest point of the Sun island - Yuman Mirador 4100.

Tomorrow we will visit the Moon island, the floating Islands of Uros, made of reed, and by the evening we should be in a base camp at the foot of Mount Huayna Potosi at 4800.

Season of the 7 Summits Club on Aconcagua successfully completed. Most of the participants of our two groups successfully reached the top, all of them came home alive and healthy. Working with our second group, our guide Vladimir Kotlyar led the regular video diary, which we combined into a single narrative:

Hello, Seven Summits! There's a broadcast coming in. We did it, we stand at the top. Valery Myasoedov, Svetlana Tatum and Vladimir Kotlyar are on the highest point of South America at the top of mount Aconcagua.

Weather is so-so. But nothing, we're going down now, slowly. Snow cover us a little, clouds sucked. But we are happy, glad, we did what we came here for. For me and Valera  it is a double celebration. We ended the season with a successful third ascent to this beautiful mountain. So, wait for us soon at home! All hugs, kisses, miss you and love!

Hello Seven Summits Club  and everyone who watches our video diary! Ku-ku! We are at the top of Aconcagua with Cyril.

The weather is perfect!

We caught this weather window.…

Five and a half hours and we're on top.

Kirill is an animal, simply. The fire horse.

Weather... I’ve never been in such weather on this mountain. Honestly word! Warm, no wind at all. I mean, we got the perfect window. Now we are going to go down, because in a few days I may make a re-ascent. We should get some rest tonight.

Hi, 7 Summits Club! We continue our diary of the ascent of Mount Aconcagua. Today is our day of rest and on this occasion we decided to prepare chicken soup by ourself.  We asked to the dining room to the local guys. They allocated us products allocated cooking place.
