Dmitry Semenov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Prilbrusye:

Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus, from the "Chamber N7" team! Today our group moved to our assault camp - National Park refuge. We settled into comfortable trailers and then went to snow training. In the area of Shelter 11, we worked on climbing along a snow slope, moving along a fixed rope, and also self-arrest with an ice ax. The weather was snowy today, and in the evening it got colder and gorgeous views opened up. Tomorrow we go to the Pastukhov Rocks.

Namaste from the "Tuda-Syuda" group from Nepal! Today was a busy day. We met Lhakpa Sherpa - an amazing woman who has been to the top of Everest 11 times!

Before leaving, we did active exercises in support of the challenge from @alexabramov 100 days / 100 push-ups.

We reached the memorials and honored the memory of those who remained in the mountains forever. We settled down for the night in a lodge in the village of Lobuche at an altitude of 4900 m. At dinner, we congratulated our wonderful participant Vsevolod on his birthday! Everyone tasted the most delicious holiday pie.

Tomorrow will present us with a long, eventful day, so we leave early to watch dreams...

Message from the head of the Everest expedition Alexander Abramov:

 Today, the 7 Summits Club team led by Alexander Abramov successfully ascended to Camp 2, located at an altitude of 6500 m on the slope of Everest. Here we met the 8000 Club team led by Viktor Volodin. On the way, we were overtaken by a flying drone carrying 25 kilograms of cargo.

Greetings from Papua New Guinea! The "Nepromakaemye" group continues the program in this picturesque country. Today we moved from Mount Hagen to Wilhelm Peak in the neighboring province. Stops to taste exotic fruits, local coffee and colorful landscapes pleasantly complemented our journey. The last hour and a half of the road to the village of Kegesugl were a real test, but we endured everything steadfastly. And our reward was accommodation in a magnificent lodge with a trout farm. Fatigue disappeared in an instant. Tomorrow we leave for the base camp under Wilhelm Peak. Guides Olga Rumyantseva and Valery Myasoedov.

Greetings from Papua New Guinea from the group Nepromokaemye! The program of stay on Giluwe has ended. It was fleeting, but very eventful. Yesterday we visited several villages of local tribes, each of which stands out with its unique outfits and rituals. Who wasn't there to scare or surprise their neighbors - ghouls with clay heads, walking skeletons, colorful characters who would be among the best even at the Brazilian carnival. A colorful and emotional spectacle!

In the evening, according to tradition, there was an award ceremony for all participants on Giluwe. Unfortunately, part of the group is leaving us, but most of them are staying and today they are moving under Wilhelm Peak. The second part of the program begins. So don't lose sight of us, we will let you know about ourselves. Guides Olga Rumyantseva and Valery Myasoedov.
