29.07. Hello everyone! The 7 Summits Club group "Walking Above the Clouds" moved to the National Park refuge at an altitude of 3900 m. After lunch, we went to the Refuge of11 at an altitude of 4100 meters, where we held training snow and ice sessions, where we worked on the technique of climbing and self-arrest.

Then at the refuge we adjusted the crampons to the boots and had a very tasty dinner.

Greetings from the slopes of Ararat from the "Agiri" group! Today we had an acclimatization rotation to the assault camp. In the morning it seemed that it would rain, but by our exit everything had stretched out. We left quite quickly, went up and admired the views of Ararat along the way. When we reached the assault camp, the mountain was covered, and we again prepared for the rain. But we were almost not wet, and we returned to our camp dry. We rested, ate and are preparing for tomorrow. Tomorrow we will go up to spend the night in the assault camp. With you were guides Leuan Atabiev and Sergey Avtomonov.

Hello everyone from Kyrgyzstan! From the group that took the name "Mountain gophers". Today we left the Achik-Tash base camp and moved to Camp 1. The trek was long, but all the participants coped! The weather pleased with beautiful views all day.

All the participants were surprised by our best service at this altitude! We live in comfortable warm tents with beds and electricity, and there is excellent three meals a day. Tomorrow, according to the plan, we have an acclimatization climb to Yukhin Peak.

Guides: Ratmir Mukhametzyanov and Viktor Volodin.

The 8000 CIS Fregat Club group, consisting of six participants and two guides, reached the summit of the seven-thousand-meter Korzhenevskaya Peak. The group members sent us photos and video clips from the ascent. Now we can more fully imagine how it all happened and what the route looks like now.

The 7 Summits Club  Guide Boris Egorov sends from Peru:

Greetings from Peru to everyone! Today the Intipalka team finished their trek around Mount Ausangate. On the final day of trekking we walked 17 km, climbed to the 5100m pass, met a vinicunca and local chinchillas. And the reward was the hot springs at the very end of the route, right in front of the bus. We are rushing to Cusco to celebrate the successful completion of the trek!

Greetings from Elbrus! Today our new group made their first acclimatization rotation. We climbed up the trails and slopes of Mount Cheget to the famous cafe "Ai" at an altitude of 2700 meters. The weather was wonderful. After lunch we visited the rental point and were ready to leave for the slopes of Elbrus.

Today our new group called "Agiri" left Van towards Ararat. We got there in three hours. We went out on the trail. At first it was very hot. Then it started to rain, but the sun did not stop shining. When we reached the base camp, the weather improved, and we dried off. We had lunch, rested, and then it started to rain again. We hope the weather will improve tomorrow.

With you were guides Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiev.

Hello everyone! The new group of the 7 Summits Club "Walking Above the Clouds" began acclimatization on the slopes of Mount Cheget.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov sends from Peru:

Greetings from Peru! Today we spent the whole day walking. We walked 12 km, climbed to a pass at a height of 5200 m. There we held a ceremony of gratitude to the mountains, offered coca leaves to the spirits. The trek is very beautiful! Snowy peaks and herds of alpacas in the pastures below them. Now we are resting and tomorrow we leave for the final day of trekking.

The team of the 8000 Club "CIS Fregat" has successfully completed the ascent of Peak Korzhenevskaya. We managed to climb to the assault camp at 6300 in full force. We set out for the assault at night at 2-30 in full force. At 13-14 six participants: Anna Bordunova, Nikolay Lukin, Andrey Teslya, Sergey Fedkin, Valery and Alexander Tebiyev, accompanied by guides Irina Salo and Alexey Lonchinsky - climbed to the top of Peak Evgeniya Korzhenevskaya.

The second part of the group consisting of Stefan Valuysky, Evgeniya Moroz, Dmitry Ovchinnikov, accompanied by guides Yuriy Lutsak and Kirill Kuznetsov, decided to turn around at an altitude of 6800... The next day after the assault, the team safely descended to the Base. We held a modest gala evening and today, part of the team flew to Dushanbe. Now we are resting, recovering and preparing to go to Communism Peak!

 The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Peru:

 Greetings from Peru! Today our "Intipalka" team started the day by visiting a brand new wonder of the world. We admired the Rainbow Mountains, having climbed on quad bikes to the top of Mount Vinicunca 5036m. In 2010, the glacier that hid this beauty disappeared and now it is the second most popular place here after Machu Picchu.

And then we warmed up a bit on foot. And reached our first camp, located at an altitude of 4600 meters. This is how our trekking around Mount Ausangate began.

Herds of alpacas, lakes and glaciers around!

The guide of the 8000 Club group Andrey Berezin reports from Kyrgyzstan:

 Hello everyone from Kyrgyzstan! News from the "Svet Zhok" group! Yesterday, July 25, we climbed the summit of Lenin Peak, 7134 meters. The weather before reaching the top was wonderful: clear, warm. At the moment when we reached 7134, it became cloudy. But the bust of Lenin, like a beacon on the top, showed the highest point of Lenin Peak. Now we have already descended to the camp, resting.

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

   Greetings from the Elbrus region! Yesterday, on July 25, our group "Not Just Cucumbers" successfully climbed the summit of Elbrus 5642m.

Then there was a long tiring descent in the heat through two camps. And now we are already in Dogubayazit, resting in the hotel after the night's exploits. With you were the guides of the 7 Summits Club Leuan Atabiev and Sergey Avtomonov.

Greetings from Kyrgyzstan! The Pamir Vagabonds group climbed to the First Camp of Lenin Peak yesterday. The hike took about five hours at a good, steady pace. In the camp, we settled into comfortable little houses with beds and electricity; it's hard to imagine better conditions. And today, we made a successful acclimatization climb to Yukhin Peak, 5130 m. And for some participants, the program of stay at Lenin Peak has ended. Our participant Yulia climbed Domashniy Peak, and was very happy about it. Tomorrow, we will spend the day in the camp, conduct snow and ice classes, and prepare to go to the Second Camp. Guides Olga Startseva and Valery Myasoedov.

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

 Greetings from the Elbrus region from the "Priority of the Caucasus" group! We completed our program with a successful ascent on the summit of Elbrus. We had a good climb. It was clear, but there was a wind with gusts of up to 50 kilometers per hour. But everything ended well. Everyone went down and received well-deserved awards.

The 7 Summits Club  guide Artem Rostovtsev reports from Tanzania:

Morning news from Tanzania. The Bang Brothers team climbed to the top of Kilimanjaro this morning at dawn, at 6:30. We have now descended to the assault camp in Kosovo. While we are still full of strength, we will rest a little, have some refreshment and continue our descent.

The 7 Summits Club group "Fathers and Sons" is in touch! Today we had a relatively easy day. We climbed up to the assault camp of Ararat along a familiar road. It was hot, but quite bearable. We got there even faster than yesterday. We settled into small tents and slept. In the evening we held the final briefing and went our separate ways to rest before the ascent. Tonight we are heading out to storm! With you were the guides of the 7 Summits Club Leuan Atabiev and Sergey Avtomonov.

Good day to all! The 7 Summits Club "Nestor" group left today at 1-00 am on a snowcat and climbed to an altitude of 5000. Then we moved up and successfully reached the Western summit of Elbrus. The weather was clear, but there was an unpleasant wind, which we coped with. A wonderful group, it's a pity to part. Guide Yozhik (Sergey Onufrienko).
