The 7 Summits Club guide Sergey Onufrienko reports from Elbrus:

 Good day to all! Everything is calm on Elbrus. The 7 Summits Club group "Vysotniki" moved in a Ural Truck (the cable cars are not working) to the refuge. Then we went on the final acclimatization ascent and reached the top of Pastukhov Rocks in 3:50. We returned to the area of the Refuge of Eleven and conducted training snow and ice exercises. We worked with an ice axe, there is a lot of fresh wet snow, you can't get going on your butt. So we didn't manage to work everything out. But the group is strong, no problem. At 18:30 we returned to the hotel. All the participants are cheerful and happy. We are resting before storming the summit. Guide “Hedgehog”.

Greetings from Africa! Today our supergroup "My Girlfriend's Words" moved from the Karanga camp to our Kosovo assault camp, altitude - 4800 meters. We got to the camp at a very good pace, now rest and recovery before the assault. We leave tonight.

And we congratulated our participant Andrey on his birthday! It is very symbolic to celebrate your personal New Year at such an altitude!

Guides of the group Evgeny Fedyunin and Dmitry Semenov.

Today our valiant team came to the Manaslu Base Camp. Altitude - 4750 meters. The camp is very comfortable. For the participants and guides - new tents, with beds. And our Internet is from Starlink. And the toilets are chic. Everything is great. Although everyone is a little "washed up", the altitude is taking its toll. The doctor did a "check-up". The whole team is fine. Tomorrow is a walk around the base camps and unpacking things. It started to rain lightly. And it's warm, for such an altitude.
