Greetings from the group "To Turkey to warm up"!  Today we went to acclimatize to the assault camp! We got there quickly, in 4 hours. We admired the beautiful views and enjoyed the good weather. There was no rain today and a wonderful view of the Ararat Valley opened up. Tomorrow we are going to spend the night in the assault camp and climb at night. The weather (according to the forecast) promises to be good!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

Greetings to all from the slopes of Ararat! Today, our group called "To Turkey to warm up" moved out of the city of Van and reached the city of Dogubayazit in a couple of hours. From there, we finally saw our destination, Mount Ararat. Then, after getting a snack and water, we went out along a beautiful road towards the base camp. On the way, the rain tried to scare us several times, but in the end it did not get wet. It took us 4 hours to get to our accommodation for the next two days. We stayed in tents, had a delicious meal and just rested for a few hours. In the evening we discussed the plan for tomorrow and had dinner. Now we are resting before tomorrow's acclimatization rotation.

 A guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

Hello everyone from Ararat! The program of the new group of the 7 Summits Club has begun. Today we arrived in the city of Van, stayed in a hotel. We checked the equipment, discussed all the plans for the ascent and tasted the local cuisine. Tomorrow we will move towards Ararat and begin our campaign. Although the altitude is already 1700 meters, so acclimatization has already begun!

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

 The group of the 7 Summits Club "Forbidden Flatlanders" has successfully reached the top of Mount Ararat. The night before the ascent, a thunderstorm broke out on the mountain, and we were afraid that we would have to walk in the rain. However, by 2 a.m. the rain had stopped, and despite the thick fog, we began to climb. In five hours we successfully reached the summit of Ararat. After going down the valley, the group went to the city of Dogubayazit, where we are currently resting after a strenuous hike.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

News from the group "Forbidden flatlanders"! The weather was fine today and we quietly went up to the assault camp. Although we had to stand in traffic jams with horses for a while, but we rested a little longer from this. We settled in the camp, had lunch, rested and drove the crampons to the night exit. At dinner, we agreed on the procedure and rest before climbing. Good luck to everyone!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

  Today, our group "Forbidden Flatlanders", taking advantage of the good weather, went on an acclimatization climb to the assault camp on Ararat. The band members successfully reached the camp, enjoying the beautiful views and favorable conditions. And we went down to the base camp.

Tomorrow, the group plans to return to the assault camp for the night, and then conquer the summit of Ararat. We wish the participants good luck and safe ascent!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

 Hurray! The 2024 season has begun on Ararat! News from the group "Forbidden flatlanders". Early this morning, our group left the city of Van and successfully reached the city of Dogubayazit. From there we went to the base camp of Mount Ararat. The weather was beautiful: a light breeze refreshed us and did not allow us to overheat under the eastern sun.

Upon arrival at the camp, we were greeted with a hearty lunch and dinner, after which we were placed in cozy tents. We enjoy the beautiful views and look forward to further adventures on this amazing mountain route.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from the Elbrus region:

The 7 Summits Club group "Imbocracy and Courage" in full force climbed the Western summit of Elbrus. Our only girl climbed on foot from the very bottom, so we were not together at the top. The weather was not the best: snow, poor visibility, wind. But this did not scare us, and we reached the top point! Hooray! Congratulations on the mountain! Now we are making plans for the next ascents!

Two groups of the 7 Summits Club climbed the slopes of Elbrus and conducted training on movement on snow and ice. The guides are Sergey Avtomonov and Dmitry Semenov. During these trainings, we have mastered important skills necessary for safe climbing in the mountains.

One of the key elements of the training was the ability to stop falling in the snow on your own, which allows you to avoid potential injuries. We also learned how to walk in crampons in the snow, which significantly increases stability and safety when climbing snow-capped Summits. Everything is going according to plan.

Two groups of the 7 Summits Club started preparing for the ascent of Elbrus and went on an acclimatization rotation on the slopes of Mount Cheget. Guides: Sergey Avtomonov and Dmitry Semenov. Due to good weather, they climbed to the Ai cafe at an altitude of 2,800 meters. Sergey Avtomonov's group still managed to descend to Donguz-Orun Lake to plunge into its cold waters. And after that it started to rain. The teams finished the day by preparing to go out on the slopes of Elbrus.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from the Elbrus region:

 Today our group has reached the top of Mount Elbrus, having overcome all the challenges along the way. Despite the gusts of wind, we were still lucky with the sunny weather.

From the very early morning we started climbing, full of determination and enthusiasm. The wind periodically complicated our way, but the clear sky and the sun's rays lifted our spirits and gave us strength. We walked step by step, enjoying the views and supporting each other.

Today has been a real test and at the same time a triumph for us. We returned from the summit with a sense of accomplishment and renewed energy for future adventures. Climbing Elbrus has become an unforgettable event that will forever remain in our hearts.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Nepal:

 Greetings to all from the slopes of Mount Lobuche!  We had no communication while we were in the assault camp. In the morning, we left the village of Lobuche and went up to the assault camp in three hours. The weather turned bad there, and we held training sessions in a tent under the snow! We rested before going out. At midnight we had breakfast and went up. Due to the snowfall, the road was very slippery and heavy. By dawn it got better, we went to the beginning of the ropes and ice. We put on the crampons and started climbing the ropes. As a result, we climbed to the top in 9 hours. Then we had a long descent to the Lobuche Lodge. We didn't get there until 9 p.m. And now we have gone down to Lukla by helicopter and are waiting for a flight to Kathmandu.

Hello everyone! Koniyaki group is in touch! Tonight, part of the bravest group conquered the panoramic peak of Kala Patthar. After that, our friendly team went down to the village of Lobuche, where it was time for us to split up.

The trekkers went down Dingboche, and a group of climbers to the summit of Lobuche East stayed in the village of Lobuche.  They wanted to hold training classes, but it started snowing heavily and they decided to postpone it. Tomorrow, the climbing team ascends to the Lobuche base camp and there will be no contact with them for several days.

Hello everyone!  Koni-Yaki's group had a busy day today. First, we got to the Garakshep settlements, had a meal and then went to the EVEREST base camp. There we were greeted with delicious cookies with condensed milk and tea. (We ate everything). Someone even had a check-up with Dr. Selivanov. On the way back, the weather turned a little worse, but this did not prevent us from returning to the lodge.  Tonight, part of the group goes out to Kala Patthar.
