The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov sends from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today our supergroup, which took the name "Assault Bags", climbed to our high-altitude camp, the National Park refuge, at an altitude of 3880 meters. After settling into comfortable trailers, we went to snow and ice training sessions in the area of the Refuge of Eleventh , at an altitude of 4070 m. There we worked on the skills of moving along a snow slope, self-arresting with an ice axe in case of a fall, and also practiced moving along  fixed ropes.

Big greetings from the African continent to everyone from the "Akuna Matata" group! Today we dressed like real adventure hunters and set off for the slopes of Kilimanjaro. The road was picturesque, we walked through a tropical forest, where the crowns of trees soar upward. We were lucky to meet the local timid inhabitants - black and white colobus monkeys. By sunset, we were already approaching the first camp (Machame).

We were very happy with the delicious dinner, as we were very hungry during the day. Tomorrow we have an equally busy day, so today we hope to get a good night's sleep.

The 7 Summits Club guide Leuan Atabiev reports from Turkey:

Good evening! Mount Ararat continues to test our team for strength of spirit and endurance. We successfully went from the base camp (3200) to the assault camp (4200) for acclimatization, overcoming the dusty and rocky slope of the mountain. There we were pleasantly surprised to meet the "Super Girls" team descending after a successful ascent. We managed to take a memorable photo against the backdrop of Ararat with the legendary Alexander Abramov.

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

Hello everyone, a group of "healthy travelers" left the city of Van and began climbing the sacred mountain Ararat! We drove by car to 2500, then walked to our base camp.

On the way, we were a little scared by the rain, but in the end it never started.
