A guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov sends from Elbrus:

Greetings from the Brazilians from Elbrus! Today we went on the main acclimatization rotation, climbed Pastukhov Rocks. We spent the night in the refuge, at an altitude of 3900. In the morning we had breakfast early and went out. In crampons we reached the beginning of the rocks, sat there, rested, and simply spent some time for acclimatization. The weather was more than good and we enjoyed the sun and warmth. Then we went down to the hotel to rest. Tomorrow we plan to gain strength and go to the mountain at night.

The president of the 7 Summits Club company, Alexander Abramov, reports from the Elbrus region:

This morning, the Super Girls project team received full equipment at the rental and immediately rushed up. We walked briskly up the Refuge of 11 area. With the help of our guides, the group members figured out the equipment and mastered the technique of walking on snow and firn slopes. The weather was good, but we hurried down to the Azau Star hotel for lunch. The whole team is in a great mood. We are singing and dancing.

Tomorrow, rotation to the Pastukhov Rocks.

Guides Alexander Abramov, Denis Abramov and Natalia Marinkevich are working with the group.

 20.08. Hello everyone! The group of the 7 Summits Club "Selfless Capybaras and one Fossil Khibinoid" moved today from the hotel to the refuge "Nat. Park" at an altitude of 3900 meters. After settling into comfortable houses, we climbed to the refuge of Eleven at an altitude of 4100 meters. There we held "snow-ice" training on the technique of climbing on the terrain such as it will be on the ascent. The weather is super, we worked everything out. On the descent we met a group of our SuperGirls Club led by Alex Abramov!

After lunch we held training on belay systems and the technique of moving on fixed ropes. Now it's dinner and rest.

The president of the 7 Summits Club company, Alex Abramov, reports from the Elbrus region:

Today was a great day! The SuperGirls team took an interesting route: we climbed the trail up the slope of Mount Cheget to the Ai cafe. We rested there and then went down to Lake Donguz Orun. Many of the girls in the group were in the mountains for the first time. So, it was very interesting for everyone. Tomorrow we have training "snow classes" on the slope of Elbrus.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the Elbrus region! A group of Brazilian friends of the 7 Summits Club climbed to the refuge today and settled into comfortable houses. Then we went to practice walking with crampons and using an ice axe. All participants learned the technique of self-arrest on a snowy slope, walked along the fixed ropes and returned to the house, where a delicious lunch awaited us. In the evening, we discussed plans for tomorrow, getting ready for the climb to the Pastukhov Rocks.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva sends from sunny Morocco:

Greetings to everyone from Morocco from the Tajin group! Today, almost the entire group climbed Mount Toubkal. The team set out to climb long before dawn. We climbed over rocks for a long time, walked along rocky paths, looked at the stars and met the dawn. And finally, at eight in the morning, we found ourselves at the top.

Despite the fact that climbing Toubkal is considered quite easy, we had to work hard before we reached the top. Everyone was happy about it. Everyone was especially happy for our young participants in the climb.

By evening, we descended to the village of Imlil, where all the participants in the climb received well-deserved awards. Starting tomorrow, we will begin an exciting entertainment program in other places in Morocco.
