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

The group of the 7 Summits Club "Wind of Change" went up  to the Pastukhov Rocks today.  We climbed at a good pace.  The weather was sunny, but cool. Tomorrow we plan to rest and prepare for the summit assault.

Alexandr Dorojukov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club:  Hello to all from the BLITZ group! Today our small group climbed on the top of Elbrus. The weather forecast promised a strong wind, but it did not come true and we were very lucky with this. We were promised 60 km/h, it was no more than 40-50. We have already descended, everyone is in excellent condition.

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

 The group named "American boy" has started a program of preparation and acclimatization for climbing Elbrus. Today we went to the first station of the cable car on Cheget. It has been several days since the cyclone came to the region. Therefore, the weather was overcast, periodically drizzling rain. We were ready for this, and as necessary, we were insulated and protected from precipitation with the necessary clothing in this situation. For the recommendation on equipment, a special thank you to the 7 Summits Club from the grateful participants of the ascent. Tomorrow we will go up to the refuge  National Park, where we will continue preparing for the ascent.

Boris Egorov, super-guide of the 7 Summits Club from Greece: Today we continue to enjoy the rocks of Kalymnos. We visited the "big grotto" sector, this is a huge overhang with a lot of stalactites! 3D climbing for any level.

The group "Juan tea" used the reserve day and reached the Western peak of Elbrus. The weather forecast was not the best and was confirmed in some places.  The wind reached 50 km/h. It was difficult to climb on the final leg of the way. The guides of the group Andrey Berezin and Alexander Dorojukov coped with the task and all the group members rose to the highest point.

The group with the guide Nikita Slotin also reached the summit of Elbrus on this day.
