Everest 2005: €10,000! All-in!
In the coming Everest 2005 spring season 7summits.com will again be the
agency of choice to book an expedition with if you are price conscious. You can
simply pay 30-40,000 to the well known companies or you can go for much less on
a fully serviced expedition with us. Of course you will not get 3 private
sherpas to carry your water bottle, so this expedition is meant for climbers who
can climb and have mental and physical strength.
The expedition will take place in May/June 2005, costs only €10,000
(currently about $12,750) and includes oxygen, shared High Altitude Sherpas,
tents, yaks, all food and one western guide, Alex Abramov, who has guided and
summited Everest before and brought many people to the summit. Additional
services can be added if needed, like a private HA sherpa, extra oxygen etc.
See the special Everest
expedition page for a complete overview of what is included, itinerary etc.
There is also an option to climb to North Col only, for only €4000 (21
days)

- Reserve and Book now: Vinson

dates and prices are already online for those seriously interested, for the
first time it is also possible to climb unguided if you are an experienced
mountaineer.
But we just got word from the logistics operator that the trips
are filling up really fast as there is limited capacity on the planes, so please let us know
immediately if you want to come and pay a deposit to reserve your place.
Every company has to use the same logistics partner, so the
trips are all the same, only the price is different. 7summits has the lowest
price as always, check it out here: Vinson
2004/2005.
Really, be quick if you want to come along!
New National Geographic World Atlas
Finally there is a new edition of the NGS ATlas, weighing 7
pounds (3+ kilos)!
An atlas is the most useful book you can have or give to others. It has so much
information about other countries, cultures and will make you more aware about
the world around you.
416 pages thick with 15,000 changes & updates, it weighs
3.1kg - with a price to match, US$165

'share the love' with our friends, by giving everybody an additional discount of
10% over the discounted price. But you have to be quick, it only is valid for a

The following was sent in the last newsletter as well, but for
the new subscribers: here are the recent site updates, New Kilimanjaro and
Aconcagua trips!
New Aconcagua dates and prices online
Our
2004/2005 Aconcagua trips are online,
but we are approaching the season fast, so get them while you can! The prices
are the same as last year! Still thousands $$ less than the big US guys! We offer trips from
December-January. Remember: even if only one person
signs up we will go! But most trips already have participants signed up for
them, so do not miss your chance to climb to the summit of
South America.
We have added a new route due to popular demand: Aconcagua
from all sides!
This means you go up the beautiful Vacas valley, climb the
Polish traverse route and descent the faster Normal route, so you get the best
of all routes and see all sides of Aconcagua using non-technical routes! Only 2
dates this season, so book it before it's gone
Also this year we offer climbs up the
Polish Glacier itself. Private trips only as this is a technical climb.
Another new addition to our trips is the option to climb 6000m Cerro
Plata in 6 days as an acclimatization for Aconcagua. A very nice climb for
only $480 and no park fees!
All trips can now be booked using the
online bookingform
That's it for now, hope you enjoyed this newsletter, if not, just click the

Looking
forward
to
seeing
you
