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

Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus!  Today our group "37" made its acclimatization rotation to the Pastukhov Rocks (4700m.). The weather was different today: it was windy and snowy in the first half, and the sun was pleasant on the descent. Tomorrow is a rest day, before the summit assault.

Victor Volodin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:

The group of the 7 Summits Club "Octobrata" left the glorious and warm city of Osh today and arrived at the Achik-Tash Glade after seven hours of driving. There we were very warmly welcomed and settled in comfortable yurts, with all amenities. The base camp is very conveniently located and well equipped. There is a nice and spacious dining room, and it has delicious food.

Greetings from Iran from the group "Third Mountain"! We are already in Tehran! For many, it was the third mountain in a row, and we are glad that the name of the group justified itself. Yesterday, at about 7.30, the "Third Mountain" in two subgroups, almost in full force, went to the top of Damavand with an interval of 15 minutes. Unfortunately, one participant reached only 5200 m. In total, 13 of the 14 participants reached the top. Why is it so early at 7.30, the question arises. We had to accept the challenge of bad weather, which settled in the Damavand area for several days. We had to make a choice between a bad forecast and a very bad one. The collective decision of the guides was to go out in two subgroups at 21.00 and 23.00. A very non-standard plan, but it justified itself. Through snow and wind in difficult conditions, for the first time in our many years of experience, we made this ascent. Our participants showed incredible courage and perseverance. We will always remember their desire and will to reach the top and set an example for our future bands. Photos and videos convincingly show this. Guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Valery Myasoedov.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Avtomonov:
