Hello everyone from the "V Meru Peak" group! Finally, we all gathered in Kathmandu! Today we celebrated our ascent of the most beautiful mountain in Nepal - Mera Peak!

We presented our climbers with medals and certificates for the ascent! Everyone is happy, making plans for new mountains! Guides Alexander Dorojukov and Sveta Kotlyar.

Namaste from the group "Tuda-Suda" from Nepal! Today we woke up in the Everest Base Camp. We were carefully fed a delicious breakfast with a view of Everest.

And we ran to the helicopter to fly to Lukla. The weather was favorable to us today, so we were able to look at the path we were walking, the villages where we stayed, and admire the mountain peaks.

Having gathered in Lukla, we had a long wait for the flight to Kathmandu. But in the evening we were already on the plain. At the dinner, our participants were solemnly awarded with memorable certificates and medals.

The guides Andrey Berezin and Kristina Putintseva.

Today, our group passed a not very difficult section from Camp 1 (5800) to Camp 2 (6200). Progress was hampered by a large amount of snow. The advance group of Sherpas and an international company climbed to Camp 3, also known as the assault camp. Again, due to the large amount of snow, it was not quick. They spent about 9-10 hours. How will this affect their attempt at the ascent tomorrow? Four Sherpas led by Makalu Lakpa will be the first to set out tonight. Let's wish them good luck!

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

 Today we descended from Camp 2 to Base Camp. Acclimatization is complete. On the way, I met sisters Katya and Masha, the heroines of the film High-Altitude Gene 2. As usual, they are doing a high-speed ascent. Tomorrow, our team flies to Namche Bazaar to rest for a few days and prepare for the assault on Everest.

News from "Abramov's Favorite Group". Today we had a long day. We left early in the morning from Lobuche. The altitude had already let us know, we walked slowly but surely. We reached Gorakshep, where we split up. Some went straight to the base camp, and some to Kalapathar. We climbed Kalapathar and then went to the base camp. In the evening, Abramov himself came to us, he came down from the 3rd camp and then everyone ate very tasty food and celebrated May 9. With you was the guide Sergey Avtomonov.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin: The "T-34" group of the 7 Summits Club had a Lazy day today and was preparing for the assault. The weather is not pampering. But we will try tonight! Keep your fingers crossed for us!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov: Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus from the team "Chamber N7"! Today we rested all day, at night we go to climb. The weather is not very good, but we are planning to go out. In principle, the forecast promises improvement by night. In the meantime, we are intensively preparing, that is, eating and sleeping.

Hello everyone from Papua New Guinea! Today our group in full force climbed Wilhelm Peak - the highest mountain in the country. We were a little unlucky with the weather. Almost the entire ascent, right up to the summit, we were accompanied by freezing rain. But on the descent the sun appeared and there were beautiful views. This is where the sports part of our program ended.

Group guides Valery Myasoedov and Olya Rumyantseva.
