Kristina Putintseva, guide and manager of the 7 Summits Club:

The 7 Summits Club welcomes guests from Nepal. Our old friends and partners Pemba Nurbu and Kippa Lhamu have arrived in Russia to take a mountaineering instructor training course. Every year, the Russian Mountaineering Federation organizes a school of mountaineering instructors on the basis of the Bezengi mountaineering camp.  The guests arrived in Moscow on May 27, and on May 28 we admired the beauties and sights of our capital.

And on the morning of May 29, we went to the airport and made a long journey from Moscow to Nalchik, and then to the Bezengi alpine camp. On the way we visited beautiful Blue Lakes.  While driving, we admired the endless green hills and then the snowy Summits.

At the camp, we talked with the instructors, remembered the joint Himalayan ascents, resolved organizational issues, and discussed our joint plans for the next month.

Two groups of the 7 Summits Club began their acclimatization on the slopes of Mount Cheget.  Guides Andrey Berezin and Alexander Dorojukov.  It was raining quite heavily in the morning, so the groups left late. Then the weather pleased us: the sun, a light breeze. We enjoyed the surrounding views of the mountains. Both groups went up to the Ai Cafe. Tomorrow both groups will climb the refuge National Park, the height of 3850 meters. There they will continue acclimatization.
