Salam from Iran!  Today, the group of "16 happy Persian Lions" of the 7 Summits Club made an ascent on the Mount  of Damavand (5671 m), the highest volcano in Asia! The dome was smoking fumaroles today like never before… Unfortunately, at 5100 one participant stopped climbing.

The rest of the group at 12-30 was standing at the maximum height of the crater!  I was surprised by Dr. Sergey, who unexpectedly treated everyone to a delicious melon on the top of the volcano!

A new unusual program for Alexey Sivkov, our friend and a very versatile climber, has started today in the capital of the Inca Empire, the city of Cuzco. The city is located at an altitude of 3400m, so we immediately began to acclimatize, and we really need a good habit of altitude. Ambitious plans! We are going to have a serious ascent of the huge granite wall in the Cordillera Blanca, Mount Sphinx (La Esfinge). But this is later, but for now we absorb the history of the ancient country, look at the sights and eat up for the future. Today we spent several hours exploring the ancient buildings of the Incas, climbed wherever you can climb and tasted delicious ceviche and alpaca steaks.
