Discuss blogs and news here and share your own. Every post on the 7summits.com blog — the weekly digest, deep dives and articles — opens a discussion here, and you can start one about any climbing news you have found.
Good topics here
- A news story about a new permit rule or a closed route
- A record, a first ascent or an expedition in the news
- A correction or addition to one of our blog posts
- An article worth reading, with a line on why
Link to your source and say in a line what it is about. A good story here can become a deep dive on the blog.
Better in another room
- News about 7summits.com itself: Announcements & site updates
- A mistake in one of our guides or the finishers list: Feedback, ideas & corrections
- Your own climb, told in full: Trip reports & photos
The guidelines in brief
Treat everyone here the way you would treat a stranger you were roped to. Be respectful: disagree with the idea, never attack the person. Be helpful, be honest (including when the honest answer is “not yet”), and be welcoming to beginners. No personal attacks, no private information about other people, no spam, and if you stand to gain from the advice you give — as a guide, an operator or a brand — say so in the post.
