The list of participants of expedition: Everest 2007: Alexander Abramov and his 7 Summits Club expedition returns to Everest in 2007. Alex, unlike other low budget expeditions, brings a very large Sherpa team to the mountain. The expedition is expected to attempt the North side of Everest again. His Everest 2006 was heavily promoted by some as the the "$10000 expedition", but clients died.... Alex who works closely with the other big commercial expeditions has had mixed results on Everest with a large number of Summits but also deaths. Alex by all accounts is a nice fellow...
