Greetings from the "OdnaKo" group! Today, our team, on a reserve day, attempted to climb Mount Elbrus. But the weather conditions and the state of the route did not allow us to do this, we had to descend without the summit. The group's guides are Dmitry Semenov and Evgeny Fedyunin.

The President of the 7 Summits Club, the head of the Everest expedition, Alexander Abramov, reports from Nepal:

Today, the 7 Summits Club group continued their rest at Everest Base Camp. They held classes on the use of oxygen equipment. It was very useful for everyone. We studied for almost 4 hours.

And in the evening there was a friendly meeting with Victoria Bonya. She is also storming the slopes of Everest. We ate, drank, talked, sang songs. After all, we have the same blood and the same themes.

Tomorrow will be dedicated to preparing for the final acclimatization rotation.

Hello everyone from Papua New Guinea! According to information received from our guides Olya Rumyantseva and Valery Myasoedov, the team has reached the base camp in full force. And is preparing to climb Giluwe tomorrow morning. They are starting at 4 am local time. By tomorrow evening, the members should already be at the lodge and be in touch.

May 2. The "Tuda-Suda" group had a delicious breakfast and slowly set out towards the legendary Namche Bazaar. We walked through a pine forest, enjoying the scenery. Almost the entire road was paved with stones. After lunch, the weather deteriorated a little, and it started to rain a little.

Having gained 1,000 meters in altitude, we already felt pleasantly tired, and wanted to rest as soon as possible after a long climb.

But in Namche Bazaar, an unpleasant surprise awaited us: there has been no electricity for several days. The power station broke down. No electricity, no Internet... and it was quite cold.

But they were waiting for us here, and provided us with maximum comfort.

 May 3. In order not to freeze in the dark Namche Bazaar, we decided to move on to Tengboche to spend a day of rest there. On the way, we admired the incredibly beautiful views. Thamserku, Ama Dablam, Lhotse and other peaks were visible in all their glory through the flying clouds. Blooming rhododendrons pleased the eye, and the smell of the pine forest gave strength. We went to a Buddhist monastery, where the Yeti scalpel is kept.

On the way, we stopped to drink tea and taste delicious desserts. By evening, we settled, as expected, in the best lodge.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Nepal:

Namaste to everyone from Nepal! Our group decided to change the name to "Abramov's Favorite Group". Today we had a trek to Namche Bazaar. In the morning, we had breakfast in a beautiful lodge with electric sheets and went out on the trail. Along the way, we admired the views, looked at Thamserku. We climbed the Hillary Bridge and then came to the final destination. We rested, took a shower, checked the Irish pub for beer.

May 3, Dhaulagiri. Namaste from Nepal to everyone from the Dhaulagiri Lovers Club! We are resting again. And it looks like for a long time. Forecasts show snowfalls in the coming days… To raise morale, we decided to organize a flash mob demonstrating our expedition gear.

In the evening, we held a teleconference with Yura Lukyanov (he is already in the hotel in Kathmandu, he was discharged from the hospital). Our immediate plans are to stay at the Base Camp on May 4 and 5. Possibly, we will leave on May 6 if the weather improves.

Hello to everyone from Nepal from the "V Meru Peak" team! Today is our day of active acclimatization! We had a good night's sleep and went for a walk to the Mera Peak base camp in the morning! The weather is finally good, it's warm and sunny all day. We walked for two hours up, gained 300 meters in altitude. We drank some tea and went down.

After lunch, we got our crampons on and held training sessions on the slope: we learned to climb up a fixed rope using a jumar and to rappel down. Everyone is in a great mood, in fighting spirit. Tomorrow we are going up to the assault camp. We are planning to storm the summit early in the morning on May 5. Wish us luck!
