The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal!  We are in Khare! This is a highland village at the foot of Mera Peak, from here the ascent of the mountain already begins. Today there was a short walk from Tangnak, so we walked slowly and enjoyed the surrounding views. Tomorrow we plan to go to the Mera-La pass.

A message from our friends from Vento company:

 Today (23.10) at 9 o'clock Nepalese time, Alexey Lonchinsky and Yuri Koshelenko made the first ascent to the summit of Rolwaling Kang Shar. The original version of the descent was abandoned, because: "the ridge is solid hollow snow, even it was not easy to get out to the top, and it was almost impossible to continue further."

During the daylight hours they managed to get down to the glacier and pass the crack zone. Then there was a simple descent to the base camp.

Alexey Lonchinsky and Yuri Koshelenko are among the best climbers in the World, repeatedly awarded with various "Golden Ice axes", champions of Russia. Alexey is a leading methodist coach at the 7 Summits Club. He manages all the training mountaineering camps that our company conducts. Yuri Koshelenko also worked as a guide in the 7 Summits Club company.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from Mexico:

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal! We continue to go to the goal. The group "UFO and He " passed another section of the route: from Kothe to Tagnak. We left the forest area and walked along the river all day. On the way we visited a cave monastery. Tomorrow we move to the village of Khare, from where the path to the top already begins.

All Namaste from Nepal! This is the group “Crown" sends greetings to you. Yesterday we all gathered in Kathmandu, checked the equipment, walked through the local streets. And today we successfully flew by helicopter to Lukla and went on the route, reaching the village of Phakding. Today it was a warm-up day, tomorrow the main route will begin.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

 Namaste from Nepal!  Bored? For two days we, the “UFO and He” group, were out of touch. During this time, we have passed quite a large section of the route. So, in order. Yesterday we moved from Lukla to Chutang (3400 meters), settled in relatively comfortable conditions. We had a snack, slept, went to fix the acclimatization higher. The goal was to meet the red panda. Failed. But it doesn't matter. The next night was in the loggia. And in the morning we went towards the Zatrva-La pass (4600 meters). From it we safely descended to the village of Tuli Kark at 4200 meters.  We rest, recover. Tomorrow we go to the Kothe village.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal!  Our compact group "UFO and He", heading for the Mera Peak, arrived in Nepal yesterday.  And today we are already in Lukla. Early departure from Kathmandu, 4 hours by mountain road, and we are in Lukla. As soon as we landed, a fine rain began to fall. We stayed in a comfortable hotel. We are getting used to a new height for us. Tomorrow we will go to Chatang, a village at the foot of the Zatrva-La pass.

Information from our friends from Vento company: Alexey Lonchinsky called today at 12 o'clock. They are doing well, according to plan. In three days, Yuri and Alexey reached the base camp, acclimatized to a height of more than 6000 - went to the nearest mountain (as far as the connection allows – Furayma). We have completed all the tasks of acclimatization and equipment testing. Today they are resting. Tomorrow, if the weather permits, they go out under the route, set up a camp. The day after tomorrow for the assault. The weather forecast is "not very good", perhaps the ascent will be shifted by a day.

 We remind you that the climbers plans to make the first ascent along the Southeastern buttress to the top of Rolwaling Kang (6645 m).

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

Namaste from Nepal! From the group "Chronic climbers". Yesterday we returned to Kathmandu after our fun expedition. We flew away in time. An award ceremony was held in the evening. The program has come to a good conclusion.

We spent the night from October 13 to October 14 at the Khvaltish Hotel at an altitude of 1613 meters. It is located on the shore of the Gergebil reservoir. So far, only the first steps have been taken here to improve this promising place. We had dinner and breakfast in glamping dome tents near the hotel. There's nothing wrong with the food here. In the evening we were pleased with dancing by our friends! And in the morning there was exercise, breakfast with coffee and a long journey... Dagestan is bigger than you think. This picturesque, hospitable republic largely consists of objects of interest to tourists. You can spend a month here, but you won't see everything. This is true. But we simply did not consider it possible to ignore the oldest city of the Russian Federation, the millennial Derbent. Of course, the walls erected in the sixth century are impressive. Yes, indeed. We had a wonderful guide who courageously coped with a large group surrounded by hundreds of other tourists. At the end we had a very hearty meat lunch with fragrant local wine. And back to the buses – to the airport…

There we said goodbye to our Dagestani friends. I really want to see them again and visit Dagestan again.

The highest point of the Gunib district is the Mayak (Lighthouse) Mountain with a height of 2,352 meters. Today our team passed the traverse of the massif, visiting the famous Gunib tunnel on the descent. It was punched specifically for the passage of Emperor Alexander II in the 60s of the XIX century.  As a result, we got about 20 kilometers with a height difference of up to 1 kilometer. The weather was great, everyone in the group walked at a different pace, but steadily. We admired the grandiose views of mountainous Dagestan, saw soaring eagles under us. Many thanks to the local guys who accompanied us and showed us the right way! All the participants of this climb were just happy with how they spent that day!

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

Namaste from Nepal from the group "Chronic climbers"! We conclude our program with a successful ascent of all participants on the top of Island Peak. The weather was gorgeous. Everything went perfectly. We climbed to the top without any problems and went down to the village of Chukung.
