The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olya Rumyantseva sends from the Elbrus region:

Hello to everyone from the sunny and very hot Elbrus region! Our small but very active German-Russian team gathered here yesterday, and decided to call itself Climbuli.

Today we had a short walk along the picturesque slopes of Cheget. We went up to the "Ai" cafe, and on the way we looked at the beautiful peaks of Elbrus and Donguzorun. We rented all the necessary equipment and prepared for tomorrow's snow activities, where all participants will finally find out why they rented so many beautiful, interesting things.

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

 6.08. Hello everyone! The 7 Summits Club group "Moscow Eagles" went to high-altitude acclimatization to Pastukhov Rocks today! The weather was great. Tomorrow is rest and preparation for the assault!

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

Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today our supergroup, which took the name "Assault Bags", climbed to our high-altitude camp, the National Park refuge, at an altitude of 3880 meters. After settling into comfortable trailers, we went to snow and ice training sessions in the area of the Refuge of Eleventh , at an altitude of 4070 m. There we worked on the skills of moving along a snow slope, self-arresting with an ice axe in case of a fall, and also practiced moving along  fixed ropes.

Big greetings from the African continent to everyone from the "Akuna Matata" group! Today we dressed like real adventure hunters and set off for the slopes of Kilimanjaro. The road was picturesque, we walked through a tropical forest, where the crowns of trees soar upward. We were lucky to meet the local timid inhabitants - black and white colobus monkeys. By sunset, we were already approaching the first camp (Machame).

We were very happy with the delicious dinner, as we were very hungry during the day. Tomorrow we have an equally busy day, so today we hope to get a good night's sleep.

A big African greeting to everyone! Our small friendly company gathered tonight. After difficult flights, we slept for a long time…

In the morning we sorted out our things, checked our gear, hunted rabbits (to take cute photos).

In the evening, we set a festive table, the chef himself cooked for us over an open fire. During warm conversations around the campfire, we chose the name - "Akuna Matata". Now, this is both our name and our motto for the coming week.
