Alexander Avtomonov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:

The team of the 7 Summits Club "Three A" almost in full force climbed the Eastern peak of Elbrus from the north in bad weather. And then we went down to the south side. We even were in time for the cable car. We could admire the beautiful sunsets on the Rocks of Lenz, at an overnight stay. And also the views in the morning at the exit from the Rocks of Lenz, then there was no longer any visibility.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club Viktor Volodin:

  Today, the group of the 8000 Club "Octobrata" left at one o'clock in the morning in order to acclimatize to Camp 2 on the slopes of Lenin Peak. Next, the plan involves a radial rptation to Camp 3, with two overnight stays in the Second Camp. The weather doesn't spoil us much, it snowed again, we had to trail, even though there was a group in front of us. We arrived at the Second camp at 11 o'clock, but the bad weather continues. It was good that the camp was ready for our arrival. A large tent was set up for us, which is convenient for everyone to gather in.

Greetings from the top of Damavand! The group of the 7 Summits Club "Persian Lions" climbed the summit of the highest volcano in Asia and the highest mountain in Iran! The team is on the descent – details later.

Two groups of the 7 Summits Club started preparing for the ascent of Elbrus and went on an acclimatization rotation on the slopes of Mount Cheget. Guides: Sergey Avtomonov and Dmitry Semenov. Due to good weather, they climbed to the Ai cafe at an altitude of 2,800 meters. Sergey Avtomonov's group still managed to descend to Donguz-Orun Lake to plunge into its cold waters. And after that it started to rain. The teams finished the day by preparing to go out on the slopes of Elbrus.
