The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

The program of ascent to Ararat continues. We spent the first night in tents. In the morning we went up to the assault camp for acclimatization. We reached it quickly enough, in three and a half hours.  Tomorrow we go out there already for the summit assault. The weather promises to be good, we hope for beautiful photos.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, director of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings to all from the new group on Elbrus! The group is actually old, even seasoned - almost this composition has already gone to Kilimanjaro, Demavend and Orizaba. Now we are going to Elbrus. Today we climbed to the top of Mount Cheget and unfurled the flag there!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Larin reports from Tanzania:

Group news on the Machame (Kilimanjaro) route. Day two, today we moved from 3000m to 3800m. We came out of the cloud cover that often hangs over the rain forest area. Everything is according to plan, everything is fine. The flow of tourists has recovered to the pre-pandemic level. From the interesting.  In parallel with us, a group from Ireland is climbing. The group consists of twenty-one women.

Nikita Slotin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Our group made a second attempt to climb the peak of 7134 m. The forecast has not been very good for several days! A chance to climb to the top is possible for a sports-trained group. On August 15 at 3:30, when the wind is least according to the forecast, we leave Camp-3. Many groups went out to climb on this day. But around 7-8 in the morning, the groups turn around, we try to go further. The wind, about 35 km / h, does not knock you down, but you have to fight, snowfall, creating visibility of no more than 25 meters. Experience and patience - let's move on. We pass the knife by 11-12 o'clock in the afternoon, everything is covered with fresh snow, we have to trail...

By 13:30 we reach the beginning of the ascent to the plateau, the height is 6850. Visibility is even worse, we are guided by rocky chain. We make an informed decision to turn around and go down, for a number of significant reasons. Tired, exhausted, we got to Camp-3, moved into tents and sleep.... Today we went down to Camp-1, the participants got acquainted with the avalanche danger closer than we would like, a small board came down over the "Frying Pan"... It's snowing in the Camp 1 now. The mountain shows itself! Treat the mountains with respect and awe...
