Dan Bull’s recent successful ascent of Ojos del Salado has prompted me to update the list of Volcanic Seven Summiters.
This is an update from the list contained in my blog of 9th November 2016 (see here). The list is now as follows:
Climber, nationality and age Date of final summit Final summit Date of first summit

Mario Trimeri has also completed the seven continental summits (Carstenz version).
Andrey Filkov has completed the seven continental summits (Kosciuszko version).
Aleks Abramov, Vitaliy Simonovic and Dan Bull have completed the seven continental summits (both Carstenz and Kosciuszko versions).
This challenge is clearly becoming more popular. I have a note of a number of climbers who have ascended six of the seven. If anyone reading this blog has any further information on those attempting the Volcanic Seven Summits or if corrections to the list of the Volcanic Seven Summiters above are required, please get in touch with me.

James,
I think that you can add me to your list. I met Ted Fairhurst and he was hoping to be number 14, but I think that I beat him by a few days.

Kilimanjaro (Tanzania) Dec 1993, Jun 1994, Nov 1995, Dec 1998
