Our group on Ararat called itself "Gloomy Roger" and held an acclimatization rotation in the assault camp

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

Ararat News: The "Gloomy Roger" group continues its ascent program! Today, the members of our group decided on a name - from now on we will be known as "Gloomy Roger"! The weather, unfortunately, did not spoil us with sunny warmth, but there was no sweltering heat, which made the journey more comfortable.

 We went to the assault camp, and the journey took a little less than three hours. Having reached the camp, the participants rested a little, enjoyed tea and then returned to the base camp. After returning, everyone was treated to a delicious lunch in the fresh air. The day continued with preparing equipment - adjusting crampons and so on. And in the evening, a real surprise awaited us - dinner with fragrant lamb.

Tomorrow the group plans to go to the assault camp with an overnight stay to continue preparing for the ascent. We are heading for the summit and preparing for new challenges!
