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

News of the Elbrus region.  As planned, today we went to the Pastukhov Rocks. A cold westerly wind blew above 4200, so we had to warm up, up to large down jackets. The route to the Rocks was completely deprived of snow, so yesterday's classes of movement in crampons were very useful. Tomorrow we rest, prepare for the ascent. Guides Berezin&Dorojukov.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Morocco: Hello everyone! That's the end of our adventures in Marroko. On the last day we moved from the hot red Marrakech to the ocean, to the blue-white city of Essaouira.

But before we got to this city, on the way, first of all, we finally saw the legendary Moroccan goats that graze, climbing argan trees and eating their fruits and leaves.

A tree strewn with goats like apples is a very unusual sight. Secondly, we stopped at a beautiful winery - a small piece of France with an African flavor, where we looked at the process of wine production, and then tried their best samples.

 And finally, we arrived in Essaouira. Essaouira is the ocean, it's sand, it's white and blue houses and blue fishermen's boats, a big fish market and an old fortress. Here you can wander around the old town for hours or sit on the beach looking at the ocean. You can also swim (which we immediately did), but not for long, because the water is very cool.

 The most active of us went to learn kite surfing. We just walked around the city until the evening. This is the end of our trip, which gave so many bright and diverse impressions.

Successful travel always ends with new plans, which are born at the end of the trip and then issued at home. Alexander Abramov and Fyodor Konyukhov had barely returned from Iran, after a wonderful ascent to the highest peak of the country, the volcano Damavand, when they met again. 

Alexander Abramov: "In The Workshop of Fyodor Konyukhov. We were planning new trips. And new climbing in Antarctica."

 The formation of groups to Antarctica is coming to an end, but you can still have time to join our groups of the 2022/2023 season. Programs and details on the website. The ice continent is real space!
