The guide of the 7 Summits Club Artem Rostovtsev reports from Antarctica:

Greetings from the Vinson Massif Assault Camp.  We came down here after conquering the peak. We climbed to the top, as planned, slowly, admiring the beauty. The weather allowed it to be done. All team members have reached the highest point of Antarctica. We stayed there for more than an hour, took pictures, even took a photo topless. Tomorrow we are all going down to the base camp and we will wait for the weather to fly back to the Union Glacier. Huge greetings from the freshly baked climbers on the Vinson Massif!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

And again, Jambo Rafiki!  A new group of the 7 Summits Club has arrived at Kilimanjaro Airport! Most of the participants are gathered ... Today we have an acquaintance, checking equipment and preparing to go on the route!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Argentina:

Buenos Dias, seniors and senoritas!  Our group (still untitled) in full force gathered today in the city of Mendoza - the center of winemaking and mountaineering in Argentina. We solved some of the organizational issues, the rest were postponed until tomorrow, because of the time frame. Today our team is inclined to discuss the main goal of our trip – climbing Aconcagua. Next, we solve the technical issues. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Viktor Volodin.

Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Chile:

Salute to all from Chile! Today, a large group led by Alexander Abramov and supported by Alexander Dorojukov and Nikita Slotin finally arrived in Atacama and gathered at the festive table. Alex Abramov solemnly announced the official start of the expedition. Then the legendary Russian climber Sergey Bogomolov took the floor. He climbed 13 out of 14 eight-thousand meters and in the summer of 2023 he plans to climb K2 as part of the team of the 7 Summits Club, which he left to complete the project of 14 eight-thousand meters.

Sergey told many interesting stories from his rich mountaineering life - about joint ascents with Anatoly Bukreev, about Bashkirov's tragic death on Lhotse, about several of his attempts on K2 from different sides. Everyone listened with their mouths open. As a result, we decided that we would help Sergey Bogomolov to publish a book about his ascents.

Today we devoted the day to protein saturation - we ate live scallops with fried octopus.  And tomorrow - departure to Atacama. Everyone is looking forward to it!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from Argentina:

Hello! Today our super group Mañana, got a well-deserved rest. We spent the day very relaxed: making plans for future ascents, preparing for tomorrow's exit to the Nido de Condores (5500m). We have an overnight stay there, followed by a radial rotation to the Colera assault camp (6000m). So we won't be in touch for a day. Bye everyone!
