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

 Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today, our supergroup called "Group D" climbed to our high-altitude camp, the National Park refuge (altitude - 3880 m). We settled into comfortable trailers and then went to snow training. However, due to the weather conditions, we did not go far. A thunderstorm in the mountains is not a pleasant phenomenon, so we conducted training near the camp.

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from the Elbrus region:

 The "Brigada" group sends greetings from the Elbrus region! Today we tried to walk to the Refuge of Eleven, but the thunderstorm drove us out of there. It nipped a little, we pressed our ears back like spaniels and went down to the shelter. When the thunderstorm ended, we went out onto the slope and held snow and ice classes after all. We rode on our butts, waved ice axes - it was fun.

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

10.06. Hello everyone! The 7 Summits Club group went to high-altitude acclimatization today to Refuge of 11 at 4100m. There we held snow classes, practiced the technique of self-arrest with an ice axe.

After lunch near the hotel we held classes on safety systems and moving along fixed ropes. Tomorrow we are going to Pastukhov Rocks at 4700m. 

Take care of yourself! See you in the mountains! Good weather and good luck to everyone!

Elbrus news. Yesterday, the 7 Summits Club group called "Picvario" began the acclimatization program. We went to the "Ai" cafe along a picturesque forest path, where rhododendrons are now blooming. We drank delicious tea in the cafe and returned to the hotel. Today we move to the National Park refuge, where we will continue to prepare for the ascent of Elbrus. Group guides Andrey Berezin and Alexander Avtomonov.
