The President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from the slopes of Elbrus:

Today, August 20, the 7 Summits Club SuperGirls team moved to the Refuge, at an altitude of 3600 m. And went on an acclimatization rotation to the Pastukhov Rocks. The weather got worse as we climbed. But before the snow and rain, we managed to reach our destination and go down. And in the kitchen of the 7 Summits Club, we had a delicious lunch, and then dinner. The weather outside is terrible: thunderstorms, wind, snow. Tomorrow is a day of rest and preparation for the Elbrus climb. And also a photo shoot in dresses against the backdrop of the mountains.

So, our team in full force gathered at the foot of Kilimanjaro. According to the tradition of the 7 Summits Club, the girls were greeted with flowers, the men - with a firm handshake. After checking into cozy rooms, the equipment was checked and gifts were given - everything that would be useful on the route.

But the surprises did not end there - fiery Maasai dances awaited us. The real spirit of Africa! In the evening, over dinner, we talked a lot, joked and even came up with a name for our team. Now we are MHO: Mitochondriacal Rejuvenation!

The adventures begin!

August 20. Greetings to everyone from Elbrus from the group "Starпёрс&kids"! Today we started the day with exercise. We had breakfast and climbed to the Refuge National Park, meeting the bright team of Supergirls with Alex Abramov on the way. Then we went out a little higher than the Refuge of Eleven and held snow and ice classes there. Here we also met the first representative of Belarus on Everest, Alla Kasabutskaya. By lunchtime we went down to the Cheget glade. We found a magical coffee place here. We are getting ready for tomorrow's rotation to the Pastukhov Rocks. We are watching films about the work done during the day, which are edited for us every evening by member Elena.

The 7 Summits Club group "To Ararat with Ararat" climbed to the assault camp today. The day was very hot and we walked to the camp slowly. It is not very clear whether this made it easier or not, but all the participants feel good and are ready for the ascent. In the evening, we adjusted the crampons, decided what everyone should wear for the exit. The weather forecast for the day of the assault promises sun and breeze. So, at night we go to the ascent. With you was the guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin sends from Kyrgyzstan:

 Hello to everyone from Kyrgyzstan! The "Old Bucks" group successfully climbed to the top of Lenin Peak, height 7134 meters. After a week of waiting, we finally caught a weather window between periods of strong winds, and climbed to the summit in excellent weather conditions. Today we are already in the first camp. Tomorrow - the trek to Achiktash and then immediately go to Osh. We were late!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Georgia:

 Latest news from the group "Well-fed Kazbek". Today our team in full force climbed for acclimatization to an altitude of four thousand meters, to a small chapel located above the Meteorological Station. Then we held theoretical classes on equipment, remembered how to put on crampons on high-altitude boots and also tested all the equipment in practice. After lunch there was rest and preparation for an early start to the ascent. The group members feel great, their appetite is good.
