Nikita Slotin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Papua New Guinea:

 Greetings to all from a mountain village on the other side of the world, from the group "I love PNG"! Today we have a busy day. We moved to a mountain lodge, from where our trekking will begin tomorrow. We visited the village and the wedding of our friend Mr. Pym's son. Locals traditionally cooked momo, which is pork baked in stones. We got acquainted with the tribes living in the nearest villages, plunged into the atmosphere of the history and culture of the inhabitants. By the way, pigs are the dowry for the wedding here, a huge number of pigs. The cost of one can reach $ 3,000. We are looking forward to tomorrow's trekking. I hope to be lucky with the weather.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Mexico:

The “Alexandra and Dot” team is almost ready for the final dash to the top of the Orizaba volcano. It remains tomorrow to have a good rest. Today we touched the glacier during an acclimatization walk. We decided to act according to the plan: tomorrow we rest, the day after tomorrow we go to the summit. It is necessary to have time to enjoy the comfort of the base camp.

Urgent! There is a summit! The team of the 7 Summits Club climbed the highest peak in Africa, Kilimanjaro volcano (5895 m). Three of the four team members were standing on Uhuru Peak at nine in the morning and the whole group visited the edge of the crater at Stella Point.

The ascent was made in difficult weather conditions. Now the group has just descended to the Horombo camp (3800 m), everyone is tired and soaked in the rain. Now dinner and a well-deserved rest.

Details follow! The information was transmitted by the group guide Evgeny Fedyunin.

Nikita Slotin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Papua New Guinea:

A group of distant wanderers sends a fervent greeting from the second largest island in the world! Four flights, and we are in Mount Hagen, the place where the ascent of Giluwe begins. All participants have successfully reached this place. Today we bought food for the mountain, checked the equipment, discussed plans for the coming days. And then we slept off after the flight to the sounds of a downpour. Now we're having dinner and getting to know each other better. We tell you about our ascents, plans. Tomorrow we will move to the lodge and get acquainted with the local flavor.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Mexico:

The team "Still haven't been named" reports from Mexico. We are finally on the slope of the goal of our expedition - the Orizaba volcano. Today there was a move transfer to the base camp and rest. We coped with both tasks perfectly. The problem was one - very tasty a lot and often fed. But it is also solved by a strong team. And this is exactly what we have gathered. Tomorrow we will go higher, to the glacier, look at the situation, and at the same time we will acclimatize before the decisive summit day.

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

 2.11. Jambo Rafiki! The group "Saber-Toothed Koloboks" of the 7 Summits Club, today climbed through fields covered with volcanic ash, through the saddle between two Summits of the Kilimanjaro massif - Mavenzi (5145m) and Kibo (5895m). Now we are in the assault camp – Kibo hut (4700 m), preparing for the ascent! In the night – an exit to the summit assault! Wish us good luck!

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Mexico:

 The team "Never named themselves" climbed the volcano La Malinche at a brisk acclimatization pace. Everyone would like such a smooth, correct weather, as we had today - it wouldn't freeze and wouldn't overheat. We walked up and down in a tight group, no one ran away, we didn't lose anyone. The most tired on their return to the hotel found the strength to restorative swim in the pool. Tomorrow we will finally feel Orizaba, we will get to the Base Camp on its slope.

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

 1.11. Jambo Rafiki! The Saber-Toothed Koloboks group of the 7 Summits Club went radially to Zebra rocks today, and above, to the view point at an altitude of 4300m. It offers excellent views of Kilimanjaro 5895m and Mavenzi 5145m. We are still resting in the Horombo camp at an altitude of 3720 meters. Tomorrow we will move to the Kibo 4700m assault camp. All participants are in a good mood and physical condition.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Artem Rostovtsev reports from Mexico:

A group called "Not named yet" after a short initial acclimatization in Mexico City (2250m.n.u.m.), we moved further towards our goal - the highest volcano in North America, Mount Orizaba. On the way today we walked between the Aztec pyramids in Teotihuacan. We will spend the night next to the volcano La Malinche (4450m), where we have to climb tomorrow – so we will continue our acclimatization.

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

31.10. Jambo Rafiki! The Saber-Toothed Koloboks group of the 7 Summits Club left the equatorial jungle today. We walked through the heather thickets, crossing the moorland zone (grassy marshes), along a wide path to the Horombo hut (3720m). On the way we met a small chameleon and very impudent ravens. Today we finally saw the Kibo cone — the summit of Kilimanjaro!

Everyone is in a good mood and ready for further acclimatization.

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

Jumbo Rafiki! Greetings from Africa! A group of the 7 Summits Club with an uncertain name started today on the Marangu route. After issuing permits, we went to the equatorial jungle. The walk to the first overnight stay of Mandara Hut (2750 m) took 4 hours. At the beginning everything was fine, but in the last 15 minutes a tropical downpour was turned on... Apparently, the season of short rains begins a little bit. On the way we met two families of monkeys watching us closely! Tomorrow we go higher at 3700, to the Horombo camp.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 summits Club and the group's guide, reports from Mexico:

Today, on October 24, our team (all 10 people) ascended the highest volcano in America, Orizaba Peak. Hurray! We climbed at a good pace, all well done!

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from Mexico:

Hello everyone! The Los coyotes sin casas group moved to the Orizaba base camp today. It's super comfortable here. Everything is just perfectly organized. Great food, wine, toilets, lights and tents in growth. We have a lot of local guides and porters with us. Tomorrow we will move to the upper assault camp at 4600. And then the assault. The weather is perfect. The condition of the route is perfect, the team is smooth and strong.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from Mexico:

Our team of climbers on Orizaba was named "Coyotes sin casas".  Today we climbed the Cerro Negro 4600m mountain. Everything went well, cheerfully. There is a hope that all members of the team will reach the summit of the highest volcano in North America, Mount Orizaba.

The expedition to Orizaba Peak begins. The highest volcano in North America is 5611m. Mexico is now preparing to celebrate the Day of the Dead. I hope we all stay alive after the trip. The country is amazing in its beauty. Today, the participants gather in Mexico City. There will be many beautiful photos.

Alexander Abramov is the guide of the joint team of the Transformer Travel  and the 7 Summits Club.

Greetings from Tanzania from the 7 Summits Club group "Zvyaginstein's Adventures"! Today, the group successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. Everyone is healthy, happy and has already gone down to the camp! Details tomorrow!

Olga Rumyantseva, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, sends from Tanzania:

Greetings from the Zvyanginstein Adventures group to everyone from Tanzania! Today we went up to the assault camp of Kosovo at an altitude of 4900 meters, from where we will go out at night to climb. Everyone feels good. It's snowing outside, but we hope that the weather will improve by the time we leave.

Super-guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

 Greetings to all from Tanzania from the Zvyaginstein Adventures group! This morning we made a climb up the Baranko wall - a march with light climbing elements. After climbing the wall, we continued our way to the Karanga camp (4035m). Unfortunately, we were covered by a cloud, so our way passed without any views.

In the camp, the cloud never left. Therefore, we spent the rest of the day mentally preparing for tomorrow's climbing to the assault camp and for the summit, hiding from the drizzling rain.

The-guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

 Greetings from Tanzania, from the Zvyaginstein Adventures team! The second day of our ascent to Kilimanjaro. As usual, in the morning we parted with our bunnies, who warmed us all night, had breakfast, held a medical check-up and went for a walk. We climbed through the beautiful places to the Shira camp at an altitude of 3900 meters.

In the camp we rested a little and went for a walk a little more, to look at the cave and other beautiful views.  After the walk, we had a traditional ceremony of getting to know the team.  In total, 42 people work with our group, thanks to which climbing Kilimanjaro becomes incredibly comfortable.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

 Greetings from Tanzania from the slopes of Kilimanjaro!  Today, a new group of the 7 Summits Club called "Zvyaginstein's Adventures" has entered the route. In the morning we left the hotel, drove to the gates of the National park, checked our belongings and started climbing the mountain to the Machame camp.

The road on the first day goes through the jungle, where there is a lot of greenery and mossy trees. But closer to the camp, the trees become lower, and the jungle ends. In five hours we reached the camp. That was the end of our first day.
