Sergey Avtomonov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club: A group of the 7 Summits Club from the slopes of the sacred Mount Ararat! Today was a great warm day with beautiful views of the valley at the foot of Ararat. We climbed to an altitude of 3900 for acclimatization. We came as a single team without lagging and separation, everyone feels good and is ready for tomorrow's climb to the assault camp! The guides of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov, Denis Abramov and Sergey Avtomonov were with you.

Alexandr Dorojukov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:  Greetings from Elbrus!  Today in the morning we went up to our comfortable refuge National Park, settled in it. And later we started the second day of acclimatization. We conducted snow and ice classes, learned how to use an ice axe, walk on fixed ropes. Now we have come down, had lunch and are resting.

 The second group with Andrey Berezin as a guide had the same program.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hello to everyone from Shiraz - the ancient capital of Iran in the south of the country! Yesterday we flew here from Tehran and fell in love with this city from the very first minutes. Immediately in the morning we went to the magical mosque of roses, where we enjoyed the amazing play of light through the colorful stained glass windows. Then we had breakfast in the Persian gardens of one of the palaces of Shiraz. Then we walked around the city center, visited the bazaar, tasted freshly squeezed pomegranate juice. In the evening, we visited Hafez's garden at his grave - a magical place where lovers and just romantics come to read aloud the poems of the great Sufi. The parrots pulled out prophetic verses for us. We meditated at sunset in a magical Mirror Temple and had a picnic on the side of a cozy park on the outskirts of Shiraz.

Today we are already going to Isfahan.

 Artem Rostovtsev, guide of the 7 Summits Club. This morning, at 7:00, the group climbed  the summit of Mount Ararat in severe weather conditions. The wind tried to lift me up and move me a little, and so for a whole hour in a row, while we were on the top and near it. All but one (the youngest participant) ascended.  We have already descended to the camp 3300m, in good health and mood.
