The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from Nepal:

 Greetings from the highlands of Nepal! More specifically, from the high-altitude, snow-covered Khare Lodge (4,500 m). Today we made a short acclimatization hike near the village and held training sessions, practicing ascents and descents on a rope. There's a lot of snow; the locals say they don't remember seeing so much snow this time of year. But we're hoping for better weather.

Mountaineering school in Tuyuk-Su. Today we trained on the rocks. This is the most important part of the training before the main ascent. So tomorrow we'll reinforce our newly acquired skills.

Today we practiced rappelling, moving simultaneously on easy terrain, and installing belay points (camalots, nuts, and friends).

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club from India:

 We're reporting on the two days we were without communication. The day before yesterday, we drove up to the gorge in a jeep and headed toward Ut-Kangri Base Camp. This is the highest peak in the Ladakh region – 6,075 meters. There were no people around. There was snow. We set up Base Camp at 5,100 meters. We decided not to waste time acclimatizing and went straight to the mountain. The ascent began at 7:00 AM. The route was initially easy over snow and rocks. Then, along a steep rocky ridge covered in snow. We reached the summit at 2:30 PM. It was difficult without acclimatization.

We returned to camp at 6:00 PM. It's cold and windy. But we did it!

Our new teams will be coming here next year. A fantastic program. The Indian Himalayas. Little Tibet. Buddhism and stupas. The Potala Palace and a 6,000-meter peak. It's all here, near the city of Leh.
