The group of the 7 Summits Club made an ascent on the top of Mont Blanc along the classic route through the Gouter Refuge. We sincerely congratulate Marina and Mikhail on their successful ascent! We wish them new successes, interesting trips and beautiful summits!

The Guide of the 7 Summits Club Valery Myasoedov reports from Iran:

 Greetings from Iran! The Children of Arbat group continued the acclimatization program on the third day, because altitude drop and rest are also part of acclimatization, aren't it? In the morning we left the cozy Tochal Hotel and took a cable car down from 3500 m to 1700 m to hot Tehran. Then we headed towards Damavand and on the way stopped for lunch at the Adam and Eve restaurant, which has become everyone's favorite. About what delicious kebabs and kebabs there are, it's already time to write a laudatory ode to one of the local poets. Details in the video. Then there was obtaining permits at the House of the Iranian Mountaineering Federation in Polur, a traditional photo against the background of the Damavand map and a brief introduction to the climbing routes, of which there are as many as 16. The most popular is the route from the south, which we always go. Our day trip to Larijan ended, there was time to plunge into the hot springs, and lie in the hotel for a couple of hours, and in the evening for dinner again kebabs of 5 types. The rested and strengthened, "Children of Arbat" are eager to fight, and tomorrow they will have the opportunity to prove themselves - we climb to the camp at 4200 m.

Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Georgia:

A group with an unexpected name "Dog’s Heart ", began its expedition to Mount Kazbek. Late yesterday evening, with a little adventure, we gathered in Gudauri at the Marco Polo Hotel. And today we have already moved from the town of Kazbegi to the refuge at an altitude of 3000m.  Tomorrow we will step on the ice and climb up to the Meteostation Refuge. And here's the thing, it turns out we get to a important date – the 100th anniversary of the first Soviet expedition on Kazbek.
