Updated list of Volcanic Seven Summiters – February 2020

7th February 2020 by James Stone Leave a Comment

Following my last series of blogs on January 2020’s Sidley expedition and the updated list of Mount Sidley summiters, this blog updates the list of the Volcanic Seven Summiters – those who have now completed the Volcanic Seven Summits. Mount Sidley, being the most expensive to get to, tends to be the final volcano for most.

There are now 23 climbers on the list.  Five are women and 15 have also climbed one or other (or both) versions of the Seven Summits.

With people completing the Volcanic Seven Summits on the same day, I list them in alphabetical order by surname.  So, if it matters, the list does not necessarily reflect the order in which people reached a summit. I have noted them with the same number rather than seeking to give any individual preference over any other.

I am aware of a number of people who have just one more volcano to climb.  For most, this is Mount Sidley.  But I imagine that I am unaware of others who are close to finishing.  If anyone reading this blog has any information on those others I would be glad to have it.  Likewise if there are any errors or omissions in the list please let me know. I am always happy to correct these.

Aleks Abramov, Vitaliy Simonovic, Dan Bull, Ted Fairhurst, Satyarup Siddhanta and David Roskelley have also completed the seven continental summits (both Carstensz and Kosciuszko versions).

Mario Trimeri, François Bernard, David Hamilton, Vladislav Lachkaryev, Vaughan de la Harpe, Arthur Marsden and Oleg Mezentsev have completed the seven continental summits (Carstensz version).

Andrey Filkov and Katie Sarah have completed the seven continental summits (Kosciuszko version).

I have consistently written before that the V7S challenge is becoming more popular. There is a trend amongst those who have completed the 7S to look for other endeavours to complete. Perhaps this is not surprising for a group of driven individuals. The V7S is a part of this. But there are other challenges.

So François Bernard, Vitaliy Simonovich, Vladislav Lachkaryev, Vaughan de la Harpe and Arthur Marsden have also skied to the North and South Poles. You can expect at least a couple more achieving this combination in the course of the coming year.

I am also aware of other challenges that are being looked at.

But who has actually climbed the highest volcano in Australia? Should this not be one of the Volcanic Seven Summits?

Welcome

Thank you for taking the trouble to read this blog.  You can find out more about me by clicking on the “About Me” tab above.

The blog started out just as a mix of mountain climbing and other travel reports interspersed with a few random musings prompted by a trip that I made to Mexico and South America in November and December 2014.  You can find details of that trip using the Tags and the Archive below.

It has since developed into a bit of a resource on the Volcanic Seven Summits or the V7S.  For this the best place to start is probably here.  Comments are welcome!
