Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club from the Elbrus area: The group "Unbearable Lightness of being" climbed the Western peak of Mount Elbrus today. We reached the highest point in two groups. There were those who used the snowmobile, but part of the group climbed on foot from the National Park Refuge (3888). The weather for climbing was perfect, the whole day was clear, without clouds and precipitation. The result is 100% of the participants were at the top during the day.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, director of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide: Greetings to all from the Elbrus region from the Oscar Angels group! Today, a group of Angels climbed the Western peak of Elbrus, although without Oscar. It was not easy for the Angels, but they proved to be extremely persistent. At 9 am, three angels named Yana, Sofia and Ksenia, plus a support group of Angels in the person of George and Olga, were standing on the top of Elbrus.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Boris Egorov from Turkey: Hello to everyone from the space group on Ararat! Mission accomplished! All the participants and guides climbed on the top of the legendary Ararat! We were lucky with the weather – we caught a window. All the participants have already safely descended to the base camp. Everyone is healthy, the mood is cosmic. Today we are moving to the city of Van, and on the way we will visit the palace of Ishaq Pasha.

A group of the 7 Summits Club with a guide Evgeny Fedyunin made a successful ascent on Mount Elbrus from the North. The Eastern peak (5621 m) was reached on August 3th, at 11: 40. All the group members and guides climbed to the highest point. Today the group is moving to Pyatigorsk: to relax and celebrate. The program has been successfully completed.

Aloha, 7 Summits! A group with guides Nikita Slotin and Vladimir Kotlyar successfully reached the first camp under Lenin Peak yesterday. And today we climbed the peak of Yukhin (height 5100 meters). Acclimatization rotation continues…

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin: The group "Unbearable lightness of being" today climbed the Pastukhov rocks. The ascent took 4 hours, we sat on the rocks for half an hour and went back down to the refuge. Tomorrow we have a day of rest and preparation for the ascent.

A children's group called "Well-fed Woodpecker and hungry Marmots" first made a trekking trip to narzan springs. Then the participants made an attempt to climb the mount of Cheget! That is, we climbed as high as we could. Today, the group has successfully mastered walking along the azimuth, collected all the KP and found a treasure (conditional)! The day continued with fishing in the trout pond

And then there was a great dinner. In the evening, as usual, we set up a camp on the territory of the hotel.

Lyudmila Korobeshko from the Elbrus Region: Greetings to all from the Elbrus region from the group "Oscar's Angels"! Today we had a difficult day – we climbed to the Pastukhov Rocks. But it is noteworthy that an 11-year-old boy (the son of one of the participants) named Stepan decided to go with us. As a result, Stepa ran almost faster than everyone else (we had to restrain him). And since he had previously watched the "High-Altitude Gene", he kept asking on the way: "Will it be approximately the same on Everest?"

The 7 Summits Club guide Sasha Dorojukov also took a walk with us. He decided to check his leg, because of which he was out of action a couple of weeks ago.

Tomorrow morning we rest, and after lunch we go up to the refuge and at night we go to storm Elbrus.

Nikita Slotin, guide of the 7 Summits Club from the Pamirs: Greetings to all from the group "Knights of the rectangular table" from the first camp on 4400! All the participants are in good shape, we reached the camp just in 4: 30 hours, everyone feels great. The weather was pleasant, the sun was shining and allowed us to admire the surrounding beauty of the nature of the Pamir snow-capped mountains. But it's snowing now! The mountains are the best way to overwinter the summer ... Tomorrow we are planning an acclimatization climb on the peak of Yukhin.

Guides Nikita Slotin and Vladimir Kotlyar.

Hello everyone from Ararat!  Today, all the participants of our high-altitude space mission (with the participation of the hero-cosmonaut Mikhail Kornienko) have successfully completed acclimatization. We went up to the assault camp at an altitude of 4200 m and on the same day we went down to the base. The weather for the exit was perfect: neither hot nor cold. In the evening, we finally checked the equipment at the base camp and had a very tasty dinner with meat on the fire. Tomorrow we will go to the assault camp and prepare for the final dash to the top. Guides Boris Egorov and Alexander Spirin.

Greetings to all from the Elbrus Region from the team "Oscar's Angels"! Today we went up to Refuge 11 and had fun there - first we walked in crampons, then we learned to work on fixed ropes. And at the end, we arranged a slide with self-arrest with ice axes.

And near the Refuge 11, a stunningly beautiful husky dog came to us. We arranged a photo shoot with him. And after lunch, hungry but happy, we went down to our hotel, where the children were already waiting for us.  They just returned from their own heroic ascent.

Natalia Kartashova, head of the Crimean programs of the 7 Summits Club:

There is a new guest at the Mountain School of the Crimea now! Natalia Mozgoleva is here for the first time, but she has already climbed an overhang on one rocky route and climbed the routes to two peaks: Koshka and Merdven-kaya! We remind you that the route "Dobrynya" is one of the most difficult in our school and only the brave pass it, and have you been there?

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Vladimir Murzaev from the Elbrus region:  News from Elbrus. Today, on July 31, the group "Lucky Chance" made an ascent on Elbrus. The weather was perfect.

Impressions from the participant @Katiachup : I had a long-standing dream to conquer Elbrus, I offered my son and he agreed, in return, not to go to a camp.

We have already bought a tour on Kilimanjaro, from the 7 Summits Club. Then the son did not reach summit and regretted it. We agreed very quickly, collected some things from the list for climbing Elbrus, we rented everything else on the spot.

We had 4 days, we were very lucky with the guide Vladimir. This is a professional in his field, we learned so much about mountaineering and other extreme sports, time flew by very quickly!

On the day of the ascent, we had another cool guide, he is a local resident and works in the Ministry of Emergency Situations, Aznor. I was very calm for my son, as he was walking with him. The ascent was very difficult for me, there was hard mountain sickness until the very descent. But with our guides, we had no chance not to reach the summit.

We conquered Elbrus, together with my son, largely thanks to our guides! I want to say thank you for their professionalism! For finding the right words, for helping me with mountain sickness all the way up. I also want to mention the cuisine in our camp, Zulya and Olya prepared very delicious dishes for us, they were always very friendly, and in general, the atmosphere in the kitchen was very cool.

We got more than we expected! Thanks to Marina and Irma! For the organization and for always being in touch!

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club from the Elbrus region:

News of the Elbrus region. The group "Fresh cucumbers" climbed the Western peak of Elbrus. The weather did not let us down, there was a calm and bright sun on the top. The peaks of the Main Caucasian Ridge were clearly visible.

Alexander Avtomonov, guide of the 7 Summits Club: On July 28, a team of Gazprom Nedra specialists made a successful ascent from the North side to the Eastern peak of Elbrus - 5621m. And then the group made descent to the Southern slope of the highest mountain in Europe, thus making the traverse of Elbrus.

A Nepalese mountaineer, a former military Gurkha, who amazed the whole world with his epic "14 eight-thousand-meters in 7 months" and winter K2, begins to collect a collection of the highest peaks of all continents, or "Seven Summits". Therefore, he was invited to Elbrus (persuaded) to come by our 7 Summits Club. This is the second visit of Nims to Russia and we can safely call him an old friend. We hope that luck will be on his side again and all his plans will be implemented.

The group's guide Lyudmila Korobeshko from the Elbrus area: Today our group "Chebureks with Lingonberries" , all members, quickly ran on the top of Elbrus. At 6.40 we were already opening champagne and unfurling flags on the Western peak. We were very lucky with the weather and views.

Lyudmila Korobeshko had a birthday today and the 7 Summits Club sent her warm congratulations!

Hello to everyone, not from the slopes, but from the top of Ararat! Today, the Olympionika team stood on the top of the legendary volcano. The mountain let it in and let it out. The weather was perfect, despite several hours of snowstorms before the assault. The participants climbed to the top in different ways and almost crawled, and ran with acceleration for the last meters. Now the team is resting at the base camp. Tomorrow we will return to civilization and get acquainted with the local sights. Guides Boris Egorov and Anastasia Kuznetsova.
