Guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov sends from the Elbrus region:
Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus from the 7 Summits Club group "Mountain Ballet"! Our cheerful team successfully completed the program, climbing on the Western summit of Elbrus. We waited for the weather to improve, having cancelled the trip the day before due to a thunderstorm. We went well, without any big problems, although it was cold and windy. Everyone is alive and well, and that's the main thing! And they are returning home with diplomas, certificates and medals.

Greetings to everyone from the "Ripe Peaches" team! Today's acclimatization night was great. And despite the fact that we spent the night at an altitude of 3600 m, a cozy hotel with spacious rooms and a view of the mountains allowed us to forget about the altitude. As a morning workout, we made a training climb on Mount Tochal, 3964 m. Having descended to the foot of the mountain by cable car, we headed towards the House of the Iranian Mountaineering Federation, where we received our permits for the climb. Before dinner, we stopped at the thermal springs at the foot of Damavand. Then we got even more involved in the local culture by visiting a local cafe, where we tried many different kebabs...
We discussed plans for tomorrow and went to rest after such a busy day.
Guides Valery Myasoedov and Kristina Putintseva.
