Greetings from the slopes of Aconcagua, or more specifically, from the Berlin summit camp (5930 m) from the "Malbecs" group! Today we reached the assault camp. We rested a bit after the hike and dined on buckwheat and stewed meat. Now it's time for an early night and we'll be heading out tonight for the summit push. Wish us luck! Group guides: Dmitry Semenov, Georgy Bushuev, and Valery Myasoedov.

The 7 Summits Club  guide Andrey Berezin reports from Chile:
Hola! Yesterday, the 7 Summits Club "Ponaehali" group climbed to the summit of San Francisco, a 6,100-meter peak. This mountain is located on the border between Chile and Argentina. Thus, yesterday we visited the neighboring country. The climb took 6 hours and 20 minutes. We took the traditional photos and video at the summit. Afterwards, we returned to our cars and headed to base camp at Laguna Verde. Today we have a well-deserved day off and a dip in the hot springs.

The "Five Spartans" group continues acclimatization before their ascent of Aconcagua. Today we ascended toward Plaza Francia to an altitude of 4,000 meters. We had a wonderful walk. We returned to camp, rested, and went for a health check in the evening! Medics checked everyone and confirmed our name – everyone is healthy and ready to continue! Tomorrow we ascend to Plaza de Mulas Base Camp! Guides Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiev were with you.

Greetings from the "Malbecs" group on the slopes of Aconcagua! Today we once again climbed to our high-altitude camp Nido de Condores, at 5,500 meters. This time, we improved our last time by 40 minutes, which means we're acclimatizing well. Our sleep and appetite are excellent, which are also good signs of successful acclimatization. We hope you'll benefit from all this during the ascent. Group guides: Georgy Bushuev and Dmitry Semenov.
