Greetings from Iran! Yesterday, the "Masha and the Lions" group in full force climbed the summit of Damavand! The weather was ideal, it was practically windless and sunny. We left at three o'clock in the morning in full force, then nevertheless divided along the way into those who were faster and those who were moderate. But the main thing is that everyone was at the top in 7.5 hours maximum time. Now that's moderate, you might say! The descent also went at an excellent pace, so we were already at the hotel by 9:00 PM. A hot shower and dinner at the restaurant were a great end to such a busy day. Everyone is great! Both Masha and the lions!

 News from the "Super Star" Team from Pakistan. Today our group flew from Islamabad to Skardu - the capital of all expedition organizations in Pakistan. We stayed in an excellent colonial-style hotel with a large garden.

We had a tour of Skardu. We visited Buddha Rock. And the cold desert, where we drove jeeps. In the evening there was a delicious barbecue dinner on the roof of the tallest building in Skardu.

Tomorrow we are going up to the Deosai Plateau to climb the highest mountain of the plateau - Mount Shatun 5300m.

 10.09. Hello everyone!  The individual group of the 7 Summits Club "Spartans" climbed the slopes of Elbrus today and went to the Refuge of 11 at an altitude of 4100 meters. There, in conditions of clouds and snow hail, we successfully held snow and ice training. In particular, we worked on the technique of self-arrest with an ice ax.

On the descent, we visited the Museum of Military Glory at the Mir station at an altitude of 3500 m.

The situation on the pendulum cable car is critical. The new roads are closed for maintenance, and the "old lady" cannot cope with the number of people wanting to go up and down! Every day passions run high here...
