All news: 30 June 2025

The leader of the Denali expedition, the guide Lyudmila Korobeshko sends from Alaska:

 June 30. Greetings from Alaska to everyone from the "Orange Men" group! From the Ranger Camp at an altitude of 4300m. We have been here for two days already. We came here the day before yesterday. Yesterday we went to get supplies. Today we are resting and practicing technical skills.

 The situation on the Mountain is difficult - no one has climbed to the summit for almost two weeks. After the last snowfall, the slopes above 5300 on the "autobahn" have become very avalanche-prone. Over the past three days, about ten groups have turned around and gone down without the summit. We are still waiting and hoping. But even today our first group turned around on this section. Today Abramov's group will descend to us. We will decide what to do next.

The 7 Summits Club super guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from Elbrus region

 Greetings from Elbrus region from the "Wet Carabines" group! Our group began to actively acclimatize on the slopes of Mount Cheget. It got colder in the mountains again, the views were covered with clouds, and there was a light rain. The weather has been unstable this season. And a month of summer has already passed, but there is no warmth. We hope that on the day of the ascent we will be lucky with the weather.

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Avtomonov sends from Elbrus region:

 Greetings to everyone from Elbrus region! The 7 Summits Club group called "Praktika" climbed to our assault camp today, the National Park refuge. Having settled, we went to the area of "Refuge of Eleven", where we held classes on the technique of climbing on snowy terrain. All participants showed themselves ready to continue the program. Then we went down to our camp, where we had a delicious lunch and rested.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov sends from Turkey:

Greetings to everyone from the slopes of Mount Ararat! We have begun a new season! The first group that arrived has not yet decided on its name. We will decide tomorrow. Yesterday, all the participants flew to the city of Van. We all had dinner together in a restaurant and then rested after the flight. This morning we got up early and set out for the city located at the foot of the mountain - Dogubayazit. Then we calmly arrived in three hours to a well-equipped base camp at an altitude of 3,300. We settled into large individual tents and are resting before tomorrow's acclimatization rotation to the assault camp.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Leuan Atabiev reports from the Elbrus region:

Good day to all! The "Pulse of the Mountains" team in a cheerful mood completed their first acclimatization rotation on Mount Cheget and demonstrated good physical fitness and high motivation. We climbed to the "Ai" cafe. The weather was damp, visibility was limited, but the mood remained good.

The President of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Abramov, reports from Alaska:

Our team is in Camp 5 at 17,000 feet. We have one day to the summit. But the slope is avalanche-prone. Today, two teams went down, only reaching the base of the slope. They left without the summit. We are still planning to assault the summit of Denali tomorrow. But it is not yet clear how to cross the avalanche-prone slope. We are thinking.
