 The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Greetings from Tanzania from the slopes of Kilimanjaro from the group "In content"! In the morning, we finally got acquainted with the team, which was postponed for reasons beyond our control. And getting to know the team is again songs and dances.

Today we had a long running day. In the morning we climbed from the Shira camp to the Lava Tower at an altitude of 4600. There we had lunch and went down to the Baranco camp.

Despite the high altitude, everyone feels good.

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

 Ararat is in touch. Today we went up to the assault camp. We were walking at a good pace, even faster than yesterday.  At night we go out to climb. Not everyone, alas, feels well, but we are preparing for the ascent. In the evening we watched a beautiful sunset. The weather promises to be good! We drove the crampons, packed up, went to bed to go to the summit at night. We plan to leave at 2 a.m.

Alexander Abramov, the head of the expedition on K2, reports from Pakistan, from Camp-3:

At 18:00, the first team left the third camp to storm the summit. Right in front of them is a team of Sherpas hanging ropes. There is a lot of snow. The Sherpas failed to set up Camp 4 due to bad weather. The season on K2 is very difficult. Weekly snowfalls. Short windows of good weather. Now the weather is average lousy. It's snowing at Camp 3. Although all the surrounding peaks are open. We pray for the friends. Good luck today!

The second team is planning an assault tomorrow evening.
