Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, from Kyrgyzstan:

Greetings to all from the team "Hello, Mountain Fever" from Lenin Peak! Now our team is resting in Camp 1 and is preparing to storm the summit of Lenin Peak. So far, only 3 people have reached the summit due to the weather. But the weather is getting better and we have a chance.

Our team's plan:

24th Camp 2, 5300 m;

25th Camp 3, 6100 m;

26th ascent to the top and overnight at Camp 3;

27th descent to the Camp 1 4400 m;

28th descent to the Base Camp and transfer to Osh.

Guides Abramov Alexander and Nikita Slotin.

Vladimir Kotlyar, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello everyone! The group "Maybe Two Hundred Options" successfully went on an acclimatization rotation to an altitude of 6100. We spent two nights at an altitude of 5200 in Camp 2. Now we are resting in the first camp. Then there will be an assault on the summit.

Boris Egorov, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Today we had a long day. Mount Elbrus struck us with its unpredictability. We have experienced almost all weather phenomena: this is the wind, and snow, and the lack of visibility, and even the unexpectedly scorching sun on the descent. For those who ventured to reach the top, this was an additional test. But, at the same time, the difficulties made the ascent unforgettable.

So, four representatives of hot Egypt were standing today on the highest point in Europe. Now everyone has gone down to the hotel and is recuperating. Guides Boris Egorov and Kristina Putintseva.
