Damavand (5609 m). The Super Girls project. The 7 Volcanoes project.

The president of the 7 Summits Club Alex Abramov reports from Iran:

After spending a day of rest at the Larijan hot springs and receiving a permit to climb Damavand, the Supergirls team climbed to an excellent refuge. From here, the assault on the summit takes place. Today we have a photo shoot on the slopes, and at night we will go to the assault.

All the girls feel great!

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. Now we are in the First Camp. We are resting, recuperating, monitoring the weather forecast, choosing a day for the ascent. The group's guides are Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

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.

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

On August 9, the 7 Summits Club group "7YA" completed the program with a successful climb the summit of Elbrus. The weather was gorgeous. As always, we got there at dawn with beautiful views and then walked around the entire traffic jam. In the evening, we presented orders and certificates to all our participants and discussed with them plans for further climbs and travels.

The 7 Summits Club guide Artem Rostovtsev reports from Georgia:

  Greetings from the "Sunny Optimists" team from the slopes of Kazbek! In good weather, we walked yesterday to the Deka refuge at an altitude of 3000 m. The refuge is new, amazed by its convenience. Of course, we would have stayed here longer, but the main goal is higher. Today we will move to the upper refuge, which is also the assault shelter for us, the Meteorological Station. The sun is shining - the mountain is waiting.

Dmitry Semenov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, sends from Elbrus:

Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today our super-group "Birch Ensemble" climbed Pastukhov Rocks (4600 m). The ascent took place in variable weather. Now the group has a day of rest and preparation for the assault on Elbrus.

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

The "7YA" group sends greetings to everyone! Today we went to Pastukhov Rocks, at an altitude of 4700-4800 meters. On the way we trampled snow and ice, at the top we were slightly rocked by the wind. Sometimes beautiful views opened up, but mostly everything was in fog. Thus, our acclimatization cycle is complete. Only the final assault remains. And before it, a day of rest and preparation.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Elbrus:

 7.08. Hello everyone! The 7 Summits Club group "Moscow Longevity" made a rotation to acquire altitude acclimatization to Pastukhov Rocks, up to 4700 m! The weather at first pleased us with clarity, but soon completely changed in the opposite direction. Nevertheless, we reached the intended goal and safely descended to our refuge.

Now everyone is well-fed and happy, enjoying their rest. Tomorrow we have a day off and preparation for storming the summit of Elbrus.

The 7 Summits Club guide Artem Rostovtsev sends from Georgia:

Hello to the 7 Summits Club from hospitable and all-round gastronomic Georgia! The program of climbing Kazbek of our small group is beginning. We were unable to take photos in the evening, we arrived late and it was so dark that no camera could cope. Very late in the evening we had a delicious dinner on the way to Stepantsminda, there will be no photos of the dinner either, so that no one chokes on saliva. We had a difficult early rise ahead of us. But we were ready to get up in time and go higher. Today, according to the plan, we should climb to the refuge at an altitude of 3000 m. A few photos later. Once again, big hello to everyone from the group that called itself "Sunny Optimists"!

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

The 7 Summits Club group "7YA" sends greetings to everyone! Yesterday we moved the National Park refuge, put our things away and went for a walk to the area of the Refuge of 11. There we conducted snow and ice training, training in mountain climbing techniques. We tumbled around with an ice axe, practicing self-arrest, and felt the slope with crampons. Everything is according to plan, we continue working.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Elbrus:
