The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olya Rumyantseva sends from Tibet:

Hello everyone from Tibet from completely “almost enlightened and reborn”! Today, our group got up very early to cross the Demome La Pass 5620 meters high and, according to Buddhist beliefs, reborn, leaving everything bad on the other side of the pass.

The whole group successfully overcame this test. Next, we had to go down to the shelter.

But everyone was so successfully reborn and revived to a new life that they decided not to stop in the shelter, but to go to the parking lot. As a result, we walked 26 km and ended up in Darchen in the evening.

Greetings from Papua from the group "Descendants of Miklouho-Maclay"! Today we spent the whole day in the village of Paia. We met the leader and his three wives, looked into the sacred houses with the relics and skulls of the leaders, took part in local dances. And they tried magnificent meat cooked in a traditional way in the ground with hot stones. Now we are ready to climb our volcano (Giluve). Tomorrow we go to trekking to the base camp.
