Today, two groups of the 7 Summits Club with guides Alexander Dorojukov and Dmitry Semenov spent a busy and interesting day.

Lunch was arranged in the cafe, after which the groups went down the valley.  And then they also went to the "Glade of Narzans". The weather forecast did not come true, the promised rain did not go. But the fog and low clouds gave a special charm to a small trip.

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

Hello! Today our supergroup "Real Group" made an ascent on Mount Elbrus. It was a day that we will remember for a long time. Elbrus tested us not for strength, but for accuracy. In the first part of our journey, we moved like blind kittens. But experience and a powerful flashlight did their job, we went to the Saddle between the two Summits. After a short rest and a light snack, we continued on our way and in an hour and a half reached the highest point, the Western peak of Mount Elbrus.

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

Hello! Our new group on Aconcagua took the name "7000 above the ground". The first day in Mendoza: the fuss with packing, everyone is slightly excited before the start. We buy all the necessary little things and goodies, in general, we are preparing. The mood of the group is fighting.

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

Greetings from the slopes of Aconcagua from the Mañana group!  Yesterday, our small but very friendly team, at 5 o'clock in the morning, went to storm the summit of Aconcagua (6962m). I would like to say that the weather all the days before the ascent was not for us, constant snowfalls did not contribute to a successful ascent.  And we felt it in full, at an altitude of 6400m at the beginning of the traverse. Winter snow, dry is very good for skiing, but not as for walking. There were three groups of us on this site, guys from Florida and two climbers from Mexico. In the middle of the traverse, only the Mexicans and we continued to fight. The most difficult climbing started after a place called La Cueva or cave. Where there was a stone scree, now a snowfield lay in front of us, the height of the snow in places reached the chest. The guys from Mexico and I joined forces and started trampling. Having reached the height of 6800, the Mexicans turned around, we continued climbing. But after an hour, it became clear that we would not reach our goal. We had to turn around. We were returning, already in the snowfall.  Valery was waiting for us in our assault camp with hot tea, thank you so much for that! Now we are in the base camp, warm and cozy, making plans for a rematch.

The guide of the 7 Summits club Dmitry Semenov is broadcasting from Argentina:

Greetings from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today our group "Mañana"  made an acclimatization rotation to the assault  camp Colera (6000 m.). For the guys it was a challenge, they had never been at such a height. But despite all the difficulties, and this is altitude and snow, the group worked flawlessly. Now we are in our warm and cozy camp on the Plaza de Mulas , resting and preparing for the decisive campaign. See you in the mountains and be careful on the trails!
