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

 Greetings from the "Alpinists Drink Sparkling Wine" group! Yesterday we completed our program with a successful climb to the top of Mount Elbrus. The weather was gorgeous, sunny and cool, you can already feel autumn, it's getting colder on the mountain, so we dressed warmly. We used the reserve day and, as it turned out, not in vain. The conditions for the climb were excellent, as well as the panoramic views that opened up.

Olga Rumyantseva, the 7 Summits Club guide, sends the following message from sunny Morocco:

Greetings to everyone from sunny and hot Morocco! Our large 7 Summits Club team has gathered here today. Thirteen participants from different cities and countries have come to Marrakesh to get to know this beautiful country and climb the highest mountain in North Africa, Jebel Toubkal.

This time, there are many young participants in the group who came with their parents to try climbing for the first time and test themselves at altitude. The youngest participant is 9 years old.

Since the age range in the group is very large, I suggested calling the team "Pioneers and Pensioners". But the name "Tajine" won by a small margin. This is a national dish in Morocco. Very tasty and hot. I hope that our adventures will be the same.

Today we all got acquainted, all the participants received gifts from the 7 Summits Club, walked along the streets of Marrakech. And tomorrow morning we will leave for the mountains to climb Toubkal.

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

The 7 Summits Club group "Baul" in full force climbed the highest point of Russia and Europe, Mount Elbrus. We waited for the weather to improve and used the extra reserve day. The only thing is that there were a lot of other groups on the route. The team safely descended, accepting congratulations and making plans for the future.

The 7 Summits Club guide Natalia Marinkevich reports from the Elbrus region:

 Today the group "The Magnificent Seven and Natalia" successfully climbed the summit of Elbrus! The weather was favorable and there were many people on the mountain today. To climb to the top, we had to stand in line! The team successfully descended and is preparing to celebrate a successful ascent.

Pamir is calling! On August 15, the Club 8000 group "Lenin, brothers!" climbed Lenin Peak! The day was long. The first half of the day, as usual in the Pamirs, was clear and cloudless. We reached the summit after lunch; at which time the mountain was already covered by clouds and light snow began to fall. The descent took place under a snowfall. Here we felt all the vast expanses of Lenin Peak and its power. As a result, closer to the evening, the whole team was in the Third Camp.

On August 16, we safely descended to the First camp. Next, Osh with its benefits of civilization awaits us. Group guides Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

Tomorrow we go up, stay in the refuge and at night we go out to storm the summit of Elbrus.

Greetings from the group of the 7 Summits Club, which took the name "Mountaineers drink sparkling wine"! Traditionally, we began our acclimatization on the slopes of Mount Cheget. We walked along our beautiful path with views of the clouds, since the mountains did not really want to show themselves to us today. It already feels like autumn is approaching. Cold wind and occasional precipitation. But basically everything is fine, we continue to work according to plan.

Pamir is in touch! The "Lenin, brothers!" group has completed the acclimatization cycle, having climbed Razdelnaya Peak, 6100 m. We spent two nights in the Second Camp, at an altitude of 5300 meters. It turns out that we have passed the Lenin Glacier in both directions. Now is the second half of the season, the cracks on the glacier are getting bigger. There are many stairs on the trail.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Artem Rostovtsev reports from Georgia:

 Greetings to the 7 Summits Club from the Sunny Optimists group from the slopes of Kazbek! They turned off the sun for us, but we remained optimists. Cloudy, windy and with precipitation are forecast for three days. Therefore, the plan was not changed and tonight, having waited a little for the strong wind to pass, we headed towards the summit. We were diligently looking for a path, later a path and internal reserves. Near the crosspiece, we found a lonely Czech, whom his comrades unfastened from the rope, and they themselves ran towards the summit. By this time, in addition to the wind, precipitation and dense cloud, there was no GPS signal - it is jammed here. We made a reasonable decision to move down and quickly get to delicious Georgian cuisine. We took the Czech with us.
