Alex Abramov from the city of Piatigorsk: Hello! Today, our school team of 8 people made a traverse of Mount Ostraya (Sharp). It was a good climbing ridge route. The ascent took 5 hours, that is, almost the whole day.
Rocks were partially in the snow. It was a good preparation for climbing in the big mountains. We have learned to belay with ropes. The weather was perfect: sunshine and no wind. After descending from the summit we climb for training on the west wall of the famous mountain. Everybody was happy. In the evening, we tried dishes of Caucasian cuisine.
For morning we plan to climb the highest peak of the region - Mount Beshtau (“five mountains” in translation).

November 14-15 in Moscow region, three members of the 7 Summits Club took part in the course of survival for the program of the Mountain School.

The program has trained basic skills for survival. Under the guidance of an experienced hunter and traveler - Michael Yarin participants gained important new knowledge that in the future will help to make the correct and logical steps for my own salvation in an emergency.
During the day the group was in a simulated situation, "Lost in the Woods." It was performed a scenic route near Sergiyev Posad. Sleep had in the woods in the open air, without tents and other equipment, as initially it was thought that each lost. At night, the air temperature was about -5 degrees.

It was a real adventure…

October 29 (Thursday), beginning at 19.00. Next Thursday we will start a course of theoretical training on mountaineering. The first will be six time Everest summiter Alexander Abramov.

"How to climb Mount Everest." Beginning at 19.00
Address: Bolshaya Pereyaslavskaya 7.

Alexander (Alex) Abramov has organized 17 Himalayan expeditions, 12 - on Everest.

We were treated by the ordinary people who never go to the mountains, to help them to climb Everest. And now, after the Hollywood film, it has become a common issue: could untrained novice climb the top of the World? Although the answer is obvious to us, but it requires clarification ....

Alexander Abramov believes that the top of Everest is available to any healthy person!
Everest is the scene of specific mountaineering, and now it may be reached by climbers of different levels of training.
