The guide of the 7 Summits Club Nastya Grigorievskaya reports from Nepal:

Greetings to all from our cheerful Iron S team!  We are in Periche! We overcame the day trek calmly and with pleasure, but how else if the sun accompanied us all day! Some guys were lucky enough to meet Alex Abramov, who was waiting for his transfer to the helicopter to Namche. In the evening we were fed heartily, there was even pizza! Ginger Lemon tea flows like a river, especially during evening conversations in the dining room.

The altitude is 4260, the flight is normal! Tomorrow we move to Lobuche. We embrace everyone!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Valery Myasoedov reports from Tanzania:

With the first rays of the sun at the top - it becomes a tradition of our groups on Kilimanjaro. Today, the group "How to get to the library" almost in full went to the summit. Unfortunately, one participant got off due to indisposition at 5500 m. The weather did us a favor for the first three rainy days - it was dry and cold, the trail was in perfect condition. We ascended at a good pace and also descended to the Kosovo camp also at a good pace. Now we are already at the Millennium Camp.  Tomorrow there will be a descent to the Umbva gate and the ceremonial part of the program.

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

Greetings to all from Rivendell, from the group "For the money - YES"! No, we did not get to the abode of the elves from Tolkien's epic, it's just that there is such a lodge in Deboche. But looking at the forest and mountains around you, it feels like you've just fallen into a fairy tale. Today we walked to the monastery in Tengboche, saw how the monks read their prayers... We have forgiven our sins and moved on. Sergey Motorkin brought dried smelt with him from Togliatti and we are amicably absorbing it, washing it down with local beer! Very tasty, well, very much. Tomorrow, according to the plan, the trek to Periche.

The head of the expedition on Makalu Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Nepal:

On May 5, we entered the second rotation. By 18.00 we arrived at Camp-2, having gained 900 meters in a strong wind. We warm up in tents. A heavy mountain. But it's all right. Tomorrow we will go up to 7000 meters if the wind subsides. The weather is not good, there is a strong wind. We are also planning to meet Valery Babanov, who is planning an oxygen-free ascent as part of the 8000 Club expedition.

Boris Egorov, the super-guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Papua New Guinea:

Meanwhile, the group "Stars in Boots" moved to the neighboring province in Papuasia. The road was a long jolt. But on arrival we were greeted by the whole village.  We were shown the traditions of choosing grooms and funerals with songs and dances. We live in a very cozy lodge with lots of flowers. We went on an excursion to see how salmon is bred. And for dinner we had delicious fish with vegetables from the local vegetable garden. We met an amazing hostess who was happy to answer numerous questions about farming and local life. In the evening we sat by the fireplace, laughed a lot and loudly, playing "contact". Tomorrow we will go to the base camp of Mount Wilhelm.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov from the Elbrus region:

Our group El DIVA, in full force, climbed the Western peak of Elbrus.
