Vladimir Kotlyar, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello everyone! The group "Maybe Two Hundred Options" successfully went on an acclimatization rotation to an altitude of 6100. We spent two nights at an altitude of 5200 in Camp 2. Now we are resting in the first camp. Then there will be an assault on the summit.

News from the team of Alex Abramov from Lenin Peak. On July 19, the entire team, 12 participants and 5 guides, climbed to the top of Razdelnaya 6134m. During the ascent, on a steep slope, the guide of our team, Boris Dedeshko, the owner of the Golden Ice Axe and one of the strongest climbers of Kazakhstan, saved the life of a climber from the team climbing parallel with us.

When Boris's team traversed a steep snow-ice slope at the exit to 5600m, an uncontrolled fall began from the top of the slope by a climber from a neighboring team. The slide could continue for another 200 m with a flight to a rocky area. Boris, in a jump, risking his life, stopped the fall and fixed the climber on the slope. Thank him for this act!

After spending two nights at an altitude of 5300 in order to acclimatize, our entire team yesterday, July 20, went down to rest in Camp-1 at 4400m. The weather at Lenin Peak is consistently bad. Since the beginning of the season, only 3 people have reached the top.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, from the slopes of Lenin Peak: Our entire team, 12 participants and 5 guides, climbed to the top of Razdelnaya Peak 6124 meters. We reached it at 5 p.m. local time. Now we are starting the descent. In 5 days, we plan to begin the assault on Lenin Peak, with a height of 7134 meters.

Our super-tent in Camp 2 on Lenin Peak.

The 7 Summits Club guide Nikita Slotin from Kyrgyzstan: Today was a warm sunny day. After breakfast, we went to the beginning of the route for ice classes. We checked our equipment, remembered how to walk in crampons on slopes of different steepness, how to use jumars and abseil devices, worked out the movement on the glacier. All participants feel well. The group is preparing to go to Camp-2 at an altitude of 5300 tomorrow. Guides of the group are Alexander Abramov and Nikita Slotin. The second group with the guide Vladimir Kotlyar climbed the Yukhin Peak for acclimatization on this day…

Nikita Slotin, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Pamir:  Hello to all from the first camp from a height of 4400, from the group "Hello, Muntain Fever"! We have had a slight change of plans. Today we went for a walk in the direction of Yukhin peak to the height of 4700, divided into mini-groups, in which we will later work on the mountain. The members begin to feel the height and actively undergo acclimatization! The weather is good, the sun is shining, but there is still a strong wind at Lenin Peak, which does not allow to look at the peak in all its glory.  Tomorrow we are going to the glacier, walking in crampons and practicing movement along a glacier. Guides of the group are Alexander Abramov and Nikita Slotin.

The second group of the 7 Summits Club with the guide Vladimir Kotlyar also stay in the camp 1.  They trained today on the glacier.

The 7 Summits Club guide Nikita Slotin from Kyrgyzstan:

 Hello to all from the Pamir from the group "Hi Mountain Fever"! Today we made an acclimatization rotation exit to the height of 4000 meters on the crest of Petrovsky peak. We admired the views of valleys, lakes and snow-white peaks, the weather was favorable for us! Everyone is in a fighting mood and ready to move on. Tomorrow we go to the First camp! In the meantime, we are listening to the songs of one of our participants, Peter, about the mountains! And, of course, the stories of our leader Alexander Abramov about climbing Mount Everest!

Two groups of the 7 Summits Club arrived by bus from the city of Osh to the base camp under Lenin Peak. One group is led by guides Alex Abramov and Nikita Slotin. The other one will work under the leadership of Vladimir Kotlyar.
