The 7 Summits Club Guide Olya Rumyantseva reports from Elbrus region:

 Hello to everyone from the slopes of Elbrus, where today our Climbuli group made an acclimatization climb towards Pastukhov Rocks.

Unfortunately, due to the bad weather that broke out, we did not reach the rocks, but we had a great walk to a height of almost 4400 meters. We walked in the rain, under ice pellets, and when lightning began to flash, we decided that we had enough adventures for today.

After that, we quickly went down to the cable car. While we were changing from one line of the cable car to another, we got caught in such a downpour that we got soaked through and decided that today we were not Climbuli, but Wetbuli.

At the hotel, we warmed up, dried off, rested and tomorrow we plan to climb to the refuge to go on an ascent.

Hello everyone from the 7 Summits Club "Akuna Matata" group from cold Africa! The higher we climb, the harsher the weather conditions become. Almost the whole day we walked in the clouds, only occasionally did the endless expanses of Kilimanjaro open up to us.

Our day began with overcoming the Barranco wall. There were steep sections in places, but they added emotions to us: it became an exciting adventure, and we realized that we were ready for more serious walls.

At the very top, tea and a hearty snack were already waiting for us. Then, we went down, and did not cease to be amazed at the diversity and beauty of the landscape. Lava stone formations pleased, various flowers and herbs added to our joy.

We reached the Karanga camp, where we were met with a delicious lunch.

After, we rested a little, walked and had dinner with real borscht!

Everyone feels well, sends greetings and congratulations on the International Mountaineering Day!

Guide Kristina Putintseva from the slopes of Kilimanjaro.

Hello everyone from Kyrgyzstan! The Club 8000 "Old Bucks" group has moved from Camp 1 to Camp 2 (5300 m). The route goes along the glacier. We go most of the way in ropes. A small but technically interesting section of the icefall is passed along vertical fixed ropes. The weather constantly changes during the ascent, sometimes it is cold, sometimes there is no wind and the sun is hot. The second camp is on the slope of the glacier, sprinkled with stones. We have a comfortable dining room at our disposal, where our entire team fits. The group guides are Andrey Berezin and Alexander Dorojukov.
