Andrey Berezin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, from the Elbrus region:

News of the Elbrus region from the Plan Vulkan group. Our large and friendly team began to acclimatize before climbing Elbrus.  We went to the slopes of Cheget, admired pine forests along the way, which were replaced by alpine meadows, as well as flowering rhododendrons. Tomorrow we are going up to the refuge National Park, where we will continue to acclimatize and prepare for the ascent.  Guides Berezin&Semenov.

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

This morning we woke up and boldly moved towards the goal of our acclimatization hike: the Tochal Mountain 4000m.  The top has been reached. And then the weather turned bad, it almost snowed. Therefore, a quick descent to Tehran was necessary.

But in Tehran, two fully cooked sheep were waiting for us. And a toast for the successful ascent. True, everyone was clinking glasses with what they could: juice, ayran, water and delicious non-alcoholic beer.

Tomorrow we will move to the hot springs, to warm clogged muscles and joints battered by climbing.
