 The group of the 7 Summits Club called itself "Stretched Legs" and began acclimatization before climbing Elbrus on the slopes of Mount Cheget. The weather was gorgeous today, the views were fantastic. Today, Elbrus beckoned us all the way, where we are actually going. Tomorrow we will climb its slopes.

Greetings from Kyrgyzstan, the glorious city of Osh! The joint group of the 8000 Club on Lenin Peak has completed the program! Today we saw off the last participants. And the day before, we held an award ceremony at a gala dinner. The best tea house of Osh "Navat" was chosen for the ceremony. The busy program and the early departure of some participants did not allow the ceremony to be held in full, nevertheless, it took place and was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

 All participants noted that the mountain is very difficult, it was hard. The path to the top was trodden only in the 20th of July, which makes our achievement more significant. We are proud of our participants, they showed incredible endurance and will to the top, without this, no ascent to such a height is possible. Well done! Guides Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

Hello everyone! The group "Twenty-Three" of the 7 Summits Club in full force ascended the summit of West Elbrus 5642m! Everyone is happy! At the dinner, medals and certificates were awarded for climbing the highest point in Europe.

Olga Rumyantseva, Guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Peru:

 Greetings from the Llamasitos group from Peru! Today we continued to get acquainted with the culture and history of this amazing country.

We toured some of the most interesting places in the vicinity of Cusco. We looked at ancient temples, ruins, explored mysterious caves and various sacred places, the origin and purpose of which historians do not fully understand.

In addition, we visited the farm, where we looked, fed and cuddled llamas, alpacas, guanacos and vicunias. And finally we found out who is who and how some differ from others.

That was the end of our city walks. Early tomorrow morning we will go to the Rainbow Mountains, and then we will start trekking and climbing Maria Peak.

We won't be in touch for a few days. But there will be the most interesting adventures.

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

Ararat is in touch! We have reached the top - hurrah!! We went out at 2 o'clock tonight, and we were slowly getting up. The weather was not very clear, the clouds were changing all the time and it was trying to snow or rain. But we walked calmly to our summit. It took us a little longer than usual, almost 8 hours. But everything went well, and we ascended, and most importantly, everyone went down to the camp without injury or incident! And now we are going to relax in the city and gain strength to view the sights of Eastern Turkey!

Natalia Marinkevich, Guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:

Elbrus news. The group "First of all, it's beautiful" went perfectly to the acclimatization rotation, to the Pastukhov Rocks. Everyone is feeling well. We practiced crossing fixed ropes. We are resting, tomorrow we will go for the summit of Elbrus.

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

Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today, our supergroup "7:40", as part of acclimatization, made a rotation to the area of the Refuge of Eleven. Training sessions were held there, where we practiced climbing along a snowy slope, as well as self-errrest using an ice axe.

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

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, Alexander Dorojukov, reports from the Elbrus region:

The group "Experts in acclimatization" continues to acclimatize, now on the slopes of Mount Elbrus.  Today we went up to the refuge of the National Park and settled in comfortable conditions.  Then we went out on the slope and held classes with ice axes, rode on the remaining snow on our backs. In general, everything is fine.

The friendly and purposeful group "Northern Scoundrels" under the leadership of Karina Mezova acclimatizes before climbing Elbrus on the North side. We wish the weather and good luck to the climbers! We believe in every participant! May everything turn out great on the day of the ascent!

Olga Rumyantseva, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Peru:

 Greetings from Peru from an as yet unnamed band! She is nameless, because so far all the participants have not managed to meet together and come up with a name.

Today, the second part of our group was not without adventures, but still, to our great joy, we reached Cuzco.

The advanced part of the group, after watching the Independence Day parade in the morning, moved closer to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to spend the night in the most unusual and most extreme hotel - in capsules nailed to the rocks.

To be precise, we have two hotels. Half of the group stayed at the Sky Lodge, which is a more modest hotel in terms of conditions. But to get to the place of accommodation, you have to go through a difficult path along Via Ferrata, overcoming various obstacles for an hour and a half.

The other half of the group stayed at the Star Lodge. Here, the path to the capsules on the rocks is not so extreme. But the accommodation is more comfortable and there are barrels of hot water in which it is so great to steam with a view of the valley. And although Via Ferrata is not difficult, it still leaves an unforgettable impression.

Especially when you return to your house on the cliff after dinner in the dark.

A very interesting and unforgettable experience.

I hope that tomorrow our team will finally get together and we will go on a tour of the Sacred Valley, and then take the train and go to Machu Picchu.

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

 The group "Experts in acclimatization" sends greetings from the slopes of Mount Cheget. Today our program of preparation for the ascent of Elbrus began. We walked along a beautiful path, the weather was gorgeous and warm. 

We are working further.

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.

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

Greetings from the Elbrus region! Today our new supergroup "7:40" made its first acclimatization rotation. We climbed the slopes of Mount Cheget to the cafe "Ai" at an altitude of 2,700 meters. The weather and mood are great, ready for a new day.
