Guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov reports from the Elbrus region:

 Greetings from the Elbrus region! Today our new supergroup made its first acclimatization rotation. We climbed the slopes of Mount Cheget, through a fairy-tale forest and alpine meadows, to the cafe "Ai" (2700 m.) As usual, we tried delicious tea and chebureki with lingonberries there. After that, we went down the picturesque road to the Povorot hotel.

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov sends from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the group of the 7 Summits Club, which took the name "Mountaineers drink sparkling wine"! Traditionally, we began our acclimatization on the slopes of Mount Cheget. We walked along our beautiful path with views of the clouds, since the mountains did not really want to show themselves to us today. It already feels like autumn is approaching. Cold wind and occasional precipitation. But basically everything is fine, we continue to work according to plan.

Dmitry Semenov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, sends from Elbrus:

Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today our super-group "Birch Ensemble" climbed Pastukhov Rocks (4600 m). The ascent took place in variable weather. Now the group has a day of rest and preparation for the assault on Elbrus.

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov reports from the Elbrus region:

The "7YA" group sends greetings to everyone! Today we went to Pastukhov Rocks, at an altitude of 4700-4800 meters. On the way we trampled snow and ice, at the top we were slightly rocked by the wind. Sometimes beautiful views opened up, but mostly everything was in fog. Thus, our acclimatization cycle is complete. Only the final assault remains. And before it, a day of rest and preparation.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Elbrus:

 7.08. Hello everyone! The 7 Summits Club group "Moscow Longevity" made a rotation to acquire altitude acclimatization to Pastukhov Rocks, up to 4700 m! The weather at first pleased us with clarity, but soon completely changed in the opposite direction. Nevertheless, we reached the intended goal and safely descended to our refuge.

Now everyone is well-fed and happy, enjoying their rest. Tomorrow we have a day off and preparation for storming the summit of Elbrus.

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from the Elbrus region:

The 7 Summits Club group "7YA" sends greetings to everyone! Yesterday we moved the National Park refuge, put our things away and went for a walk to the area of the Refuge of 11. There we conducted snow and ice training, training in mountain climbing techniques. We tumbled around with an ice axe, practicing self-arrest, and felt the slope with crampons. Everything is according to plan, we continue working.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Elbrus:

6.08. Hello everyone! The 7 Summits Club group "Moscow Longevity" moved today to the National Park refuge, where we settled very comfortably for the next few days.

Then we went for a walk to the area of the Refuge of Eleven, at an altitude of 4100. There we held classes on the technique of moving on snowy terrain. The weather was not pampering, but we managed and worked everything out.

As always, the cooks pampered us with a wonderful lunch and dinner. It is impossible to lose weight, because it is too delicious!

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from the Elbrus region:

 Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today our super-group "Birch Ensemble" climbed the slopes of Elbrus and settled in the National Park shelter. And then made an acclimatization hike to the area of Refuge of 11. There we held training snow sessions, where we practiced moving in groups, as well as self-arrest using an ice ax.

The 7 Summits Club  guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from Prielbrusye:

The new group called "7YA" sends greetings from the slopes of Mount Cheget! We began our acclimatization with beautiful views and a cool walk along the trail. We traditionally climbed to the "Ai" cafe. It is still warm, but you can already feel autumn coming on the mountain. It is getting colder, sometimes even the snow falls. But basically, everything is great, we are following the plan. Today - the rental point, tomorrow - the ascent to the slopes of Elbrus.

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Elbrus:

Greetings from Elbrus! Today our new super-creative group called "Birch Ensemble" made its first acclimatization hike. We climbed the slopes of Mount Cheget and one of the most picturesque trails in the area to the "Ai" cafe (2700 m). The weather and the mood of the participants are excellent. Everyone is ready for the next hikes, tomorrow we are climbing the slopes of Elbrus.

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from the Elbrus region:

5.08. Hello everyone! The new group of the 7 Summits Club called "Moscow Longevity" today made an acclimatization hike to the slopes of Mount Cheget. We climbed a fabulous forest path, admired the Caucasian giant Elbrus! In the legendary cafe "Ai" we tried chebureks and herbal tea. The mood is fire!

Tomorrow, according to the plan, we climb to the shelter of the National Park.

The project will be called "Seven Volcanoes in Seven Months." Alex Abramov will lead two Super Girls groups to Damavand and Elbrus in August. According to the plan, the ascent of Damavand should take place on August 13. From that day, the countdown for the record will begin. It is considered "from summit to summit." In October, Giluwe is planned, in November, Orizaba and Kilimanjaro. In December, an expedition to the Antarctic volcano Sidley. And in February, Alexander should complete the project by climbing Ojos del Salado. To break the speed record (183 days, 20 hours and 54 minutes), he needs to climb the Chilean volcano before February 12. Which is not entirely easy, if our President intends to finish the Antarctic season only on January 22. That was in his plans.

Alexander Abramov can be safely called the "godfather" of the Seven Volcanoes program. It was the president of the 7 Summits Club who conceived, and our company carried out, the historic expedition of 2011 to Mount Sidley. Since the scientific discovery of this highest volcano in Antarctica, no one had been there. As a result of the 2011 ascent, the first people to climb all seven volcanoes appeared. These were the participants of our expedition Mario Trimeri and Crina Popescu. And this was the real start of the Seven Volcanoes program. Russia, represented by our company, is the world leader in the number of climbers who have climbed all seven volcanoes of the project. At the moment, out of 46 who have completed the project, 14 represent our country. There is something to be proud of!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Selivanov reports from the Elbrus region:

The group "Aunt Charlie" climbed Elbrus today. The hot Brazilians started from 3880 meters (Gara-Bashi) and walked the entire route, without using a snowcat. The ascent took 11 hours in clear weather, but quite a strong wind. Hooray - to the representatives of the BRICS allied state! Viva Brazil!
