Good day! This is Lyudmila Korobeshko from the expedition to Denali. Today, June 17, we did a deposit above fixed ropes, for five thousand meters. Weather allowed to do it. According to the plan we were going to do it yesterday, but yesterday there was a very heavy snowfall. Today we did a deposit, and we have just returned. In principle, the weather is not bad but a bit strange. Cloudy with occasional snow sprinkles. That is, the immediate plans we have:  tomorrow or day after tomorrow we want to go to high camp and, accordingly,  it will be  19th or 20th for a summit bid. All  members  and guides feel good, all is OK....  Greetings!

Hello! Here is a guide of the 7 summits Club in the Elbrus region, Andrey Berezin. Today, our group climbed to the top of Mount Elbrus in the style Hard & Strong. Today's weather was severe. Strong wind gusts to 50 km / h and large enough blown snow on the climb from the Saddle to the Top made our way more difficult than we wanted... But we did it and climbed to the top from the Pastukhov Rocks, in 5 hours 50 minutes.

And was the first who revealed the great views from the summit of Elbrus!

Hi, friends! Here is Vladimir Kotlyar from Alexander Abramov phone. Today we had training with ice axes. The fighting spirit, in the night we are going to summit bid . Keep your fingers crossed and pray to the weather gods, they are capricious )))

After several days of absolutely unsuitable weather, today everyone has a chance to reach the top. So two of our group climbed almost in parallel. Visibility was good, however the wind was strong and it was very cold. In a small group of Andrei Berezin, all three participants reached the summit. In a large group of Alexander Dorozhkov  three participants visited the highest point, and four were limited to the Saddle...

Hello! It is again Lyudmila Korobeshko from the expedition to Denali. Today, June 16th, we have still 16 June, evening. According to the plan we had to do deposit in the High camp. But we woke up almost under two-meter layer of snow, and snowfall did not stop before lunch. A lot of snow fall. Of course, in this weather it was impossible to go up. So we had to make a forced rest day. After lunch the weather improved. Accordingly, a lot of people came down from the upper part, but most of them probably without the top.

In general, all our members  feel good, all full of hope for a successful ascent. Best regards!

Here is Alexander Dorozhkov, a guide of the 7 summits Club. Our team made an acclimatization trip to the waterfall Girlish braids. All members are cheerful and  energetic even climbed under the waterfall itself )). Best regards!

Unfortunately, due to technical problems we were unable to obtain audio from Lyudmila Korobeshko from an expedition to Denali. We inform you that they have everything in order. The group gave himself the name "Snow white and the 6 dwarfs". They first few days were in the rain. Today finally started snowing. They have now reached camp 11000 feet. And will there be on the plan 3 days. From the higher camps  a lot of "unlucky" groups went down, since more than a week is already bad weather. But our team has high expectations, as bad weather can not stand forever.

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of  the 7 summits Club:

We caught a weather window and climbed Mount Kazbek!
