Alexander Abramov from Mexico: Today is a significant day for the EKSMO team. We reached the mountains. Today we made an ascent on the peak of Sierra Negra. The whole team in a single rush climbed to the top of 4600 m. This is a good acclimatization. All day Orizaba was covered with clouds. And so, in the evening, the summit was opened. Tomorrow the team goes to spend the night in the Base camp at an altitude of 4100 m.

Artem Rostovtsev, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Chile:

Hello to everyone from almost the driest place on Earth - the Atacama Desert! The 7 Summits Club has started the season of climbing the highest volcano - Ojos del Salado. With a little difficulty due to regular border closures and flight postponements, we finally got together as the first group. We started from the ocean. And now all together, as a group, we are in the Santa Rosa Lagoon – this is our place of "quarantine" for the next few days. We spend the night here. We acclimatize on the nearest peaks. Today we started from the Mount of Seven Brothers. A strong wind literally laid us on the slope 100 meters from the top, but we had enough. We went down, ate our fill, and worked on.
