The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from the Elbrus region:

 Hello everyone! Today, a new group of the 7 Summits Club called "T-34" went to the slopes of Mount Cheget to the famous cafe "Ai", at an altitude of 2750 meters, to begin acclimatization.

Everything went according to plan, then there was equipment rental, preparation for tomorrow and rest.

Take care of yourself!

See you in the mountains!

Good weather and good luck to everyone!

Namaste from the "Tuda-Syuda" group from Nepal! After a delicious breakfast, we left our cozy home and slowly set off towards Dingboche (4310 m). Sometimes, the majestic peaks of the Himalayas appeared through the clouds, we even saw Lhotse and Everest.

Slowly gained altitude, walking along winding paths to the sounds of the mountain river Imja Kola.

The weather changed, as did our landscapes. At first, we walked a little through the forest, which was replaced by juniper bushes. And after the bright morning sun, a light rain came to us. We walked a little before a hearty dinner, discussed plans for tomorrow.

May 5, Dhaulagiri. Namaste to everyone from Nepal from the Dhaulagiri Lovers Club group! We are still at Dhaulagiri Base Camp. The exit is slightly postponed due to weather conditions.

We started the morning, as always, with exercise. Today, the legendary Pakistani climber Sajit Sadpara, son of Ali Sadpara, joined us. He is doing the 14x8000 project without O2.

After breakfast, we held oxygen classes and distributed the Sherpas. The exit is scheduled for May 7. And the assault on the summit, accordingly, is on May 10. So tomorrow is another day of rest and preparation.

Hooray, the summit!!! Today at 9.30 am Nepal time, the "V Meru Peak" group in full force stood on the summit of Mera Peak 6476 m!

We were lucky, we caught a weather window, which we slipped through. Literally right after we descended from the summit, everything was covered with clouds again. And when we descended from the assault camp in Khara, we were already driven in the back by the wind and snow.

We set out for the ascent in two groups with an hour difference in the exit, in the end we all reached the summit together.

Emotions are overwhelming! An unrealistically beautiful ascent! The panorama of the Himalayan eight-thousanders, which accompanied us all morning, is impressive! At dawn, views of Everest, Lhotse, Makalu, Kanchenjunga and Cho Oyu opened up!

The climb from the assault camp at 5800 to the summit took 6 hours. It was not easy. The climb is quite long, but it was definitely worth it!

Everyone is alive and well and has already descended to Khara. Tomorrow we hope to fly to Lukla.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin sends from Nepal:

 Hello everyone from the Everest-25 expedition! Yesterday (May 4) Viktor Volodin's group (Club 8000) early in the morning, at 3 o'clock, set out for the second acclimatization rotation. Alexander Abramov's group (7 Summits Club - VIP) continued to rest and gain strength. In good weather, we climbed to the first camp at 6100 without incident, according to plan. Today, May 5, Alexander Abramov's group, at the crack of dawn, also at three in the morning, set out in the direction of the first camp. And we got some sleep after yesterday's long march and slowly moved to the second camp, at 6500. The weather is good again, but it's hot as hell. Now the sun has set and it has become quite cool. Abramov's team is spending the night in Camp 1.

Hello to everyone from the "Nepromakaemye" (Waterproof) group from Papua New Guinea. Yesterday, our entire huge team climbed to the top of the Giluwe volcano. The team's name fully justified itself. During two days of trekking and climbing, we never got caught in the rain. An unprecedented situation for Papua.

 Today we will get acquainted with local traditions in the village. And in the evening there will be a festive dinner and awards ceremony.
