All news: 2 July 2025

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

 July 2. Greetings to everyone from Alaska from the "Orange Men" group from the Ranger camp at an altitude of 4300m! That's all. Yesterday we made the final decision - today we are descending. Unfortunately, without the summit. The route above 5200 is very dangerous for avalanches. For about two weeks, no one has climbed to the summit. And there is no chance that the route will improve. According to the forecast, strong winds will arrive by evening. So we will try to descend as soon as possible. We are one of the last ones on the Mountain now. There are only 1-2 groups nearby. They are also planning to descend.

It is very sad to leave without the summit...

Two guys in our team planned to close the "7 Summits" project with this Mountain. The rest had one more mountain to climb besides Denali before the project was completed...

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from Elbrus:

 Greetings from Elbrus from the "Wet Karabines" group! Today we walked to Pastukhov Rocks and thus completed the acclimatization ascents. It was clear, but there was a cold wind. The forecast for the following days promises snow, but the main thing for us is no thunderstorm. Tomorrow is a day of rest and then an assault on the summit. Wish us luck!

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

News of Ararat. The 7 Summits Club group "Gloomy Roger" climbed to the assault camp. Today we had a late breakfast, watched how our things were loaded onto the horses, and went along the already known road to the assault camp. There we settled in tents, finally adjusted our equipment and decided to leave at two in the morning to storm the summit of Ararat. Now we are resting before the ascent.

 The 7 Summits Club guide Viktor Volodin reports from Kyrgyzstan:

 News from under Lenin Peak from the "Shashlychnaya Fantasy" group. Today we were on the road all day. Early in the morning we left the glorious city of Osh, drove through the pass and then drove along the wide Alai Valley. In the afternoon we arrived at our base camp, the settlement of Achiktash. There we were very well received, comfortably settled in large permanent tents and fed deliciously. The weather in the base camp is slightly cloudy and cool. We are starting to acclimatize.
