On 8 May 2015, BCMC Member Ravil Chamgoulov, who had already climbed the seven highest peaks on each continent, stepped onto the , the highest peak in the Arctic. Ravil’s successful climb of Gunnbjørn marked the end of a journey that began in 2004. 

All told, Ravil soloed Aconcagua, Denali, Elbrus, Gunnbjørn, Kilimanjaro and Kosciuszko.  While he joined unguided expeditions to Everest and Vinson Massif to reduce the logistical burden, Ravil climbed both peaks on his own once he arrived at the base camps. 

Join us as Ravil shares stories and photos from his latest climb and his ‘8^th Summit.’
