Greetings to everyone from the Vinson Massif the High camp! Yesterday, our entire team reached the summit. We chose perhaps the best weather possible. The 7 Summits Club has grown, and congratulations to Anar Burasheva and Valery Zaitsev on completing the project "Seven Summits"! We still have the descent to do.

The 7 Summits Club guide Sergey Larin reports from Tanzania:
Today we reached Shira Camp (3,800 m). Our group of 13 is supported by a team of 73! Upon arrival at the camp, we met the local team. And today we have another celebration. Victoria is celebrating her birthday. Another cake!

News from Argentina. Today, the "Incas on the Trail" group completed an acclimatization rotation in the direction the South Face of Aconcagua and Plaza Francia. Along the way, we encountered a llama on the trail. We successfully ascended to 4,000 meters. The wind was quite strong, and we couldn't rest at the highest altitude. We took photos and turned back down. Fortunately, we found a good rest spot on the way down. After lunch, we underwent a medical check. All participants are ready to continue the ascent. Tomorrow we leave for Base Camp! With you were the 7 Summits Club guides Sergey Avtomonov and Leuan Atabiev.

December 6th. Greetings from Ecuador from the "Near zero" group! Today we climbed the first volcano on our program, Guagua Pichincha, at 4,800 meters. On the way up, we encountered Andean wolves (a mountain fox) and caracara birds. We climbed through snow, which is rare here, and barely found the summit in the fog. On the descent, we drank tea made from local Ecuadorian coca (sunfo) at the hut – it immediately invigorated us.

In the evening, we arrived at a very beautiful place – the ancient 17th-century hacienda La Cienega. Each room has a fireplace, there's a church right inside the hacienda, and a beautiful courtyard with a fountain and palm trees. We celebrated our first ascent and Christmas over dinner! Tomorrow we're heading to a unique place – a lake inside a crater!

Greetings from the slopes of Aconcagua! Today, our supergroup ascended to our high-altitude camp, Nido de Condores (5,500 m). Now it's time to rest and then onward to our goal, the summit of Aconcagua. Group guides: Georgy Bushuev and Dmitry Semenov.

The 7 Summits Club group "MFMFM" left Laguna Santa Rosa, where they spent two nights, and traveled through the Atacama Desert to their overnight camp at Laguna Verde (our Base Camp). Along the way, we stopped at the meteorite impact site and waterfalls. At Base Camp, we settled into tents and had lunch in the welcoming mess hall. After lunch, we took a walk to the hot springs.

Group guides: Alexander Abramov, Andrey Berezin and Alexey Lonchinsky.
