The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:
Greetings from Kathmandu! The 7 Summits Club's first major expedition to the most beautiful mountain, Ama Dablam, is about to begin! Participants have already begun to slowly gather in the city. While preparations are underway for the trekking trip, Sergei Avtomonov (the second guide) and I found some time to warm up on the climbing wall right across from the hotel.

Alexander Abramov, leader of the "Sherpa Dogs on Elbrus" expedition from the Elbrus region:
Today marks the beginning of a new and unusual expedition for the 7 Summits Club to Elbrus. We will be climbing with Sherpa sled dogs. The thing is, the Chukchi sled dogs have been given Sherpa names: Mingma, Pemba, Pasang, and Lakpa. Their owner, the renowned polar explorer Viktor Simonov, believes they are ready to climb Elbrus. We are once again breaking new ground in mountaineering. The hardest part today was checking the dogs in as luggage. It took all day. We rescheduled our tickets twice, thanks to Aeroflot for being so accommodating!
The expedition stayed at the Povorot Hotel and began preparing for the Elbrus climb. The hardest part so far has been figuring out how to train the dogs to wear glasses. They're still a novelty for them. The group is scheduled to summit Elbrus in a week.
