Artem Rostovtsev, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hi 7 summits! Team Rosary reports on the successful ascent of Mount Kazbek. All members and guides reached the top.  All you had was to wait out the day and in fine weather visit the top. But that's not all the exploits for today. From the summit we ran down to Kazbegi almost without stopping. And the end of the day – it was a gastronomic ecstasy.

A group of the 7 Summits Club with a guide Ivan Dusharin successfully climbed to the top of Mount Ararat. On the day of the ascent, the weather deteriorated, but all members showed the will and reached the top.

 On the same day all people went down to the city of Dogubayazit, where at the Banquet table celebrateв the successful ascent!

Congratulations! Next in the program they will have a tour of local attractions: the Palace of Isak Pasha, the Ark Museum, Lake Van and Akhtamar Island…

Day 9. September 11th. Today in the base camp of  Manaslu  there was a day of amazing meetings.

In the morning Israfil, the most famous Azerbaijani climber, came to visit us. We reminisce our joint expedition to the North Pole, on Denali, Everest. Then came Don Wargowsky, with whom we were together on Denali (now he leads the expedition the Summit Climb). Then we met Arnold Costner, who was a frequent visitor to our EVEREST BC from the North.

 But the main meeting, of course,  was with the hero of this year - Nims (Nirmal Purja), who completes his INCREDIBLE project of 14 eight-thousanders in 7 months. He has 3 peaks left - Manaslu, Cho-Oyu and Shishapangma. And the biggest problem now is Shisha, as Chinese authorities have closed the mountain for climbing this season. Nims hopes for a positive solution to the issue with the Chinese authorities. If not, for Cho-Oyu he is ready to go from Nepal on a more difficult route. But how to deal with Shisha?

 Nims told so many interesting things about himself and his project. For an hour we sat with Israfil in his tent and listened with open mouths. As a result, we invited him to Moscow and Baku. And Nims even agreed....

 And then he came to visit our camp of the 7 Summits Club, where he again told a lot of interesting things and took pictures with the whole group. He also invited us to visit his camp for Puja.
