 Greetings from hot, yellow Africa, from its central part! Today, our supergroup "Words of my girlfriend" went to the Machame route to the summit of the great mountain Kilimanjaro. Today we walked along a wide, comfortable path through the jungle in the tropical forest zone. At the end of our journey, in Camp 1, we had a view of the magical peak of Kilimanjaro, the real roof of Africa. Group guides Fedyunin Evgeny and Semenov Dmitry.

The 7 Summits Club guide Andrey Berezin reports from Nepal:

Namaste from Nepal! The main group of the 8000 Club Manaslu expedition gathered in Kathmandu. We visited the city's sights, participated as spectators in the colorful Indra Jatra festivities. We packed our things, bought the necessary equipment for the expedition. Tomorrow morning we fly to the village of Samagaon at the foot of our mountain. The group's guides are Alexander Abramov and Andrey Berezin.

Tatyana Posokhin, representative of the 7 Summits Club in the USA:

Hello everyone! Day 5 of my Hungry Elbrus. The day of the ascent. The night was sleepless. The start was at 3 am. I feel great, cheerful, in anticipation!

The start of the route was a bit drawn out, we walked slowly because of the previous teams ahead, which basically gave the body time to warm up, so that it could run up later!

 The result of the hungry experiment:

You also need to take into account that I had not trained for a whole month due to illness (and I arrived on the expedition not having fully recovered yet):

- I quickly recovered from the illness: the cough and nasal congestion went away;

- the ascent itself was very easy for me;

- breathed deeply the whole way;

no altitude sickness or its symptoms;

- no headache;

- no fatigue;

- lots of energy and strength;

- no hunger;

- saturation at the very top 96;

- no clouding of consciousness either;

- climbed two peaks at once (if there had been a third peak, I would have run to it too), the journey from the East to the West took 1.5 hours, taking into account a stop for rest and changing;

- even without taking any medications or supplements, dietary supplements, vitamins, my body feels better than ever and there is no muscle pain after the climb.

It turns out that I became the first Russian and the first American woman to climb Elbrus on two peaks at once without food.

 And my main result: I overcame my altitude sickness. Those who know me, I have had enough defeats, both because of my lungs and failed ascents precisely because of altitude sickness. I have never had saturation above 86-90 at altitudes under the best of circumstances. I have done a colossal amount of work on myself, on my willpower, on all the difficulties.

But the result amazed me and brought me to new heights!

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the Elbrus region! The 7 Summits Club group "Ne Gipsony" finished their program with a successful 100% ascent to the top of Elbrus. The weather was gorgeous, sun and calm all day. Although the nights are already cold. I would also like to congratulate our Tatyana, she went on the "hungry ascent" program and climbed two peaks. At the gala evening, all the climbers were awarded orders and diplomas. Until next time in the mountains!

Greetings from Elbrus! The 7 Summits Club guide Georgy Bushuev is on the line. It looks like an ideal end to the season. 09/05/25 went with the "Very organized group" to the Western summit of Elbrus with 9 out of 10 guests. Light frost at night, clear horizon and complete calm on the descent. Thank you all! See you in the mountains!
