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

Greetings from the Elbrus region! Today our new supergroup, which has no name yet, had a wonderful day. We climbed the picturesque path to the Ai cafe (2700m.) A great day, delicious tea, chebureks with lingonberries, mountain landscapes - everything you need for a good acclimatization.

Svetlana Kotlyar, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings to all from the Elbrus region from the ZUCCHINI group! Yesterday we checked into our beautiful hotel "Povorot", and today there was the first acclimatization rotation to the slopes of Mount Cheget.

We walked along a beautiful forest path to an altitude of 2700. We walked cheerfully — after all, our goal was to reach the famous Ai cafe to taste the legendary pies and ayran with lingonberry jam.

We quickly went down, had lunch and went to the rental to get the necessary equipment for climbing. The team is great, we've only known each other for the second day, but we've already managed to rally and make friends! Tomorrow we will continue our acclimatization program and climb the Gara Bashi, on the slopes of Elbrus.

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

The new group "Elbrusians" sends greetings from the slopes of Mount Cheget! Today is our first day of acclimatization. We walked with beautiful views, in a cheerful company and with good weather.  But, unfortunately, Elbrus did not appear to us today because of a cloud. We are working further according to the plan.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Iran:

8.07, the 5th day of the trip. All salom from Iran! The group of the joint project of Transformer Travel company and the 7 Summits Club "Partizans" went to acclimatization today and is preparing to storm the summit of the Demavend.

Traditionally, we had a signature buffet and fish for lunch, then preparations for the assault.  Hold your fists for us! We will start at 2 a.m.

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

 8.07.24. The group "Octobrata", at the crack of dawn, went to the Second camp. After the snowfall, the trail was covered, but not much. We walked slowly, it was good that the weather allowed us to do so.  So, we went up to the camp, which is located on a slope, and therefore places for a tent are limited. But we were lucky, they put up a large tent, with tables and benches, where you can comfortably sit and eat well. The well-being of the band members is good, everyone is resting. Tomorrow we will move to an altitude of 6100 meters, to the Third Camp.

R.S. Yesterday, the head of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Abramov, came to the First Camp, who gave us a lot of valuable and useful advice.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Yesterday we reached Camp One at an altitude of 4300m. A lot of snow. The camp is comfortable, the tents are great, the food is great. Here we met our first group under the leadership of Viktor Volodin. Tonight they went to storm Lenin Peak.
