Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Nepal: Danibat Group (trek to the Everest base camp)  came to Phakding today. Admiring the beauty of the gorge, we quietly walked 7.5 kilometers in the first half of the day. After lunch, we visited the Pema Choling Monastery, where we met the group of Everest climbers from the 7 Summits Club expedition. Tomorrow we move to Namche Bazaar.

The new group arrived in the Elbrus region for training courses preparation for climbing Mount Everest, Denali and in Antarctica. Today we had an introductory and preparatory day. We learned how to set up tents, how to use burners, and also practiced climbing on fixed lines. In the afternoon, there was a lecture about the use of oxygen at eight-thousand meters peaks. After that, we started preparing equipment for the next day's trip to the glacier. The group guides Alexey Lonchinsky and Andrey Berezin.

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Tanzania:

 The group of the 7 Summits Club "Gennaker" today climbed the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro. We reached the highest point at a fairly fast pace. The weather was overcast, but the large size of the signs on the top made it impossible to pass by the top. We congratulate all the members of the ascent on this event in their lives!

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Tanzania: News of the 7 Peaks Club group "Gennaker" from Kilimanjaro. Today we got acquainted with the capricious weather of Kilimanjaro. We were on our way to Shira camp (3900). An hour after entering the route, heavy rain began, sometimes with hail and thunderstorms. We have mobilized the forces that we did not spend yesterday, and the route that takes 6 hours was completed in 4 hours. We settled in comfortable tents, had a delicious lunch and are now recuperating for tomorrow. Group guide Andrey Berezin.

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Tanzania: A new group of the 7 Summits Club on Kilimanjaro called "Gennaker" has arrived in Tanzania. This is the name of a large sail on a yacht. We came not without adventures during flights. But at last, we are all gathered in the village of Machame. After a night at the hotel, we tried the local cuisine, and now we are ready to go on Kilimanjaro by the "Machame" route.

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin: The group "Pole pole": “perseverance and tenacity” -  that's our motto! Well, and a little bit of luck. The weather today was surprisingly favorable to us. Bottom line: we climbed on the top in the afternoon, at 2 p.m. We were alone on Mount Elbrus! This is so unusual. These types of mountains views you will not see in the summer when the air is not so clear. Today we could even see the Turkish coast. And we fully enjoyed the beauty of the Caucasus peaks. The season is over, winter is ahead with other standards.

Andrey Berezin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from the Elbrus region:

Summit! The group of the 7 Summits Club climbed on the top of Mount Elbrus after two days of bad weather. We used a spare day for reaching the summit. The weather today surprised us: there was strong wind and deep snow. And suddenly, as an unexpected result - clear weather at the top!

The Elbrus climbing season is not over yet. Two small groups of the 7 Summits Club with guides Andrey Berezin and Alexander Avtomonov climbed the Pastukhov Rocks to a height of 5000 meters. Thus, they completed the acclimatization rotation before attempting the climb Western Peak of Mount Elbrus.

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club from the Elbrus region: The new group of the 7 Summits Club started acclimatization rotation and preparation for the ascent on Elbrus. Today we visited Donguzorun Lake. Autumn in the Elbrus region is beautiful: warm weather, bright colors, and even a blooming rhododendron. Tomorrow we go up to the Refuge National Park, in the zone of ice and snow.

Andrey Berezin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Elbrus region: News of the group "Crazy Beetles". Summit! Today we climbed the Western peak of Elbrus. The weather forecast was half justified: instead of the bright sun, a cloud "settled" on the top of Elbrus. That's why we didn't get to see the usual colorful panoramas. But even in the "cloud"  it was cool.

Today, two groups of the 7 Summits Club reached the top of Elbrus. Andrei Berezin and Alexander Dorogunov were there as guides. The climbers were very lucky with the weather. It was a very beautiful dawn, a light breeze and amazing colors of the sky that can not be conveyed in the photo. Early autumn brings stable and beautiful weather, and the summit offers stunning views of the surrounding peaks and plains. The season on Elbrus continues.

Now two groups of the 7 Summits Club are on the slopes of Elbrus and are preparing to storm the summit. Today they climbed to a height of 5000 meters to the Pastukhov Rocks. By this the acclimatization rotation was completed. Tomorrow, both groups will rest and prepare for a summit assault. Guides of the groups: Andrey Berezin and Alexander Dorojukov.

Andrey Berezin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from the Elbrus region:

The "Clean mountain" campaign took place on Elbrus today. Employees of the 7 Summits Club took part in garbage collection from the mountain slopes. We collected a large amount of garbage. In addition to us, there were volunteers from various nearby cities. Elbrus has become cleaner after all. We hope that this event will become traditional.

News from the group "Challenge thrown"! Today we climbed the top of Mount Elbrus. The day was very busy: in parallel with us, Karachay horses climbed, there was climb of international military games, and a race of skyrunnners. And you must add the beautiful weather. We haven't so many emotions in a long time! Congratulations to all members of the group! Group guide Andrey Berezin.

Greetings from the Elbrus region! The acclimatization program of the group named "Challenge launched". Today we went to Cheget and went up to the upper cable station. There we visited a cafe, looked at Elbrus and drank delicious mountain tea. Group guide Andrey Berezin.

The weather was favorable for us throughout the acclimatization, and did not let us down on the day of the ascent. From the top, we could see the entire Main Caucasus range and the surrounding area. Group guide Andrey Berezin.

Summit! Group "Smile and wave" - on the top of Mont Elbrus (5642). After several days of bad weather, we took advantage of a weather window and reached the top. Surprisingly, the weather favored us. It was clear until 9 am. Later it began to snow, but we were already descending. Congratulations to all participants on ascent! The guides of the group, Andrey Berezin and Boris Egorov.

Today Elbrus pleased climbers with good weather. In the bright sun and light wind, members of the 7 Summits Club groups climbed to the highest altitude in their acclimatization rotation.
