The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

Hooray, the summit! Today we have climbed the sacred Mount Ararat! It wasn't the easiest climb, but we were able to do it! Now everyone has gone down to the base camp and is resting.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Larin reports from Tanzania:

We continue our high-altitude trekking along the Machame route to the summit  of Kilimanjaro. The group has acquired a name these days - "In search of the baobab". Day three. The move from the Shira camp 3800m through the Lava Tower (4600m) to the Baranko camp 3950m, is perhaps the most stressful in the whole trekking. But the group made it with dignity. The weather was favorable.

The fourth day. We moved from the Baranko Camp to the Barafu camp 4600m, through the Karangu Camp, where we had lunch. The weather continues to please us.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, director of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings to all from our group from the Elbrus region!  Today we had an incredibly eventful day: In the morning we went for a jog, on the way we met the legendary climber for all 14 eight-thousand-meters without additional oxygen - Maksut Zhumaev. Then we did exercises, had breakfast and went to Azau. Half an hour later we were already at 3850 - we put on the crampons and ran to the Pastukhov Rocks. That is, of course, we went, but at a good fighting pace. They accelerated so much that they even climbed higher than the rocks!

On the descent, we managed to have lunch with Zuli (our dream) and returned to the hotel to rest before tomorrow's ascent to the assault. In the evening we decided to go fishing to calm our nerves before the upcoming ascent to the highest peak in Europe.
