All news: 29 April 2025

Physical greetings from the slopes of Elbrus from the "OdnaKo" group! Today we climbed to our shelter, located at an altitude of 3800 m. Super-trailers have already been prepared for us, that is, they were dug out from under the thickness of winter snow. After accommodation, snow training was conducted in the area of Refuge of 11 (4070 m). We worked on moving along a snowy slope and along fixed ropes. The weather and the condition of the group are excellent.

Big greetings to everyone from the Everest 25 team! The calendar shows April 29. Abramov's group left at dawn for acclimatization in the first camp at 6100 and was there at two o'clock. Volodin's group (Club 8000) slept well after yesterday's climb from base camp to the first camp and at 9 am set out for the second camp at 6400. Yesterday and today in the morning, and all night long, the weather was not favorable. About 30 cm of snow fell during the night. After leaving, a couple of hours later, the weather settled down and it became hot as a frying pan. By lunchtime, all the participants were there, settled in spacious tents. Delicious lunch, and the Internet here is only at the "7 Summits Club", at such an altitude. The participants feel good.

Hello to everyone from Nepal from the "V Meru Peak" team! It snowed all night yesterday. So much snow that you could play snowballs and make snowmen. In the morning the weather cleared up, and at 9 o'clock, after breakfast, we began the descent to 3600 to the village of Kote. After the pass, we went down to the rhododendron forest. The descent was beautiful, although slippery. Just imagine: bright scarlet flowers, dusted with snow!

We stopped for lunch on the way at the lodge and made it before the rain. The second part of the route passed through the forest, we walked under the clouds! Amazing nature, almost complete absence of people on the route, a completely different, atypical Nepal!

As a result, we went down to the river through the forest and checked into a very cozy lodge, where we will spend two days for better acclimatization. How nice it is to go down into the warmth! Everyone is cheerful and happy!

We will soon have dinner and plan to spend a warm evening singing with a guitar.
