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

  Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today, our supergroup "Saturation 99" has made its final acclimatization rotation, having reached a serious height for the first time. Namely, we climbed to the top of the Pastukhov Rocks, to a height of about 4,700 meters. The weather was difficult, but we coped with the wind and snow and did what we planned. Tomorrow will be a day of rest and preparation for the assault on the summit of Mount Elbrus.

Alexander Dorojukov, Guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the band "Stretched legs"! Today we went to the Pastukhov Rocks. The weather was borderline, with snow and wind, and occasional clearings. It has already turned cold on the mountain, summer is probably over. Tomorrow we have a rest day and the next night we will go out to storm the summit of Elbrus. Everything is going according to plan.

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

 The Samovar group is in touch.  Today we went up to the Ararat assault camp, at an altitude of 4,200 meters. On the way, we got caught in the rain, then also under hail. But they did not turn around and reached the camp. We had lunch, got some sleep before dinner. Then we prepared crampons, discussed the climbing plan and went to get some more sleep. We go out at night to climb.
