The 7 Summits Club super guide Olya Rumyantseva sends from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal from the "Anahata" group! Today we saw the sunrise with a view of Everest.

To achieve this, we had to wake up in the middle of the night and set out for Kala Pathar, the best viewpoint on our route. It was challenging, cold, and the altitude was taking its toll. Kala Pathar, although a small hill against the backdrop of the snowy giants, is actually 5,645 meters high. But our efforts were fully rewarded with marvelous views of Everest and its neighbors.

We watched the sun color the mountain peaks and bathe the beautiful Pumori in golden sunlight. It was a wonderful morning. After descending, we almost immediately flew by helicopter first to Lukla and then to Kathmandu.

By lunchtime, our entire team had gathered at the Yak and Yeti Hotel, where we enjoyed the blessings of civilization that we often overlook in everyday life.

In the evening, we will have a celebratory dinner. Everyone will receive commemorative awards—medals and diplomas. And then we will begin making plans for next year.

The 7 Summits Club Super Guide Boris Egorov reports from Nepal:

 Greetings to everyone from Ama Dablam Base Camp! We, the experienced Yaks, are sitting here waiting for the weather. We were one day short of summiting. Right now, it's sunny, but the weather forecast says it's going to change dramatically soon. It's already gotten very cold, and the wind has picked up.

For now, we're resting and eating well. Today, we also went for an extra workout on a rock near the camp. We practiced different ascent and descent techniques.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

Physical greetings from the mountains of Nepal! Our group ascended to Chutanga Mountain Lodge (3,560m) on October 23rd. We traveled at a good pace in good weather. October 24th was a long and intense day, climbing Zatrwa Lapas Pass (4,620m) and descending to the next lodge, Thuli Kharka (4,220m). Along the way, our group acquired the nickname "Badger Gangsters." On October 25th, we arrived at the comfortable Kote Lodge. It has everything a modern person needs: internet, shower, and coffee. Today we'll rest, and tomorrow we'll hike to a viewpoint near the lodge. The group is in good spirits as we continue toward our destination.
