Greetings from the Southern Elbrus region! The "Ezhoriki" group made the first rotation along the slopes of Mount Cheget to the cafe "Ai" (2750 m). Good pace and well-fit! The breath of autumn is already felt in the mountains. It got colder today, fog, light drizzling precipitation.

Group guides: Yozhik (Sergey Onufrienko) and Zhorik (Georgy Bushuev).

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

Greetings from the Elbrus region from the "Electrolytes" super team! Today we began our acclimatization by going along the slopes of Mount Cheget to the famous "Ai" cafe (2700 m). Today was a cloudy and rainy day, but this did not spoil the good impressions from our short hike. The fog and low clouds gave the mountains a mysterious look, and ordinary views opened up in a new way.

Iran/Damavand. News from the "Otkryvashka (Opener)" group, that is, from Galymzhan Kuspanov.

 Today we made an acclimatization rotation - preparation for the night ascent to the summit. The day after tomorrow I plan to make the ascent and then descend to Tehran. I'm a little worried, our guide Maryam promised to give me an exam on the history of Persia.

I feel good, my mood is cheerful. It's calm here.
