The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Jambo Rafiki! Today, the Akukaracha group of the 7 Summits Club, without traffic jams, overcame the Baranko wall in 1.5 hours - much more pleasant than in the New Year's collapse! The only negative is the constant fog, and as a result, the lack of cool views and photos. On the way, we saw the consequences of the great October fire, the result of careless handling of fireworks - a very sad sight! We got to the camp Karanga 4030m by lunch.

After a very hearty lunch, fruit, guacamole... we hardly went for an acclimatization walk higher from the bivouac. And the food here is great! The whole group is happy!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from Argentina:

Bon Dias from the slopes of Aconcagua! Our team "Argentina one love" has finally arrived at the Aconcagua base camp – on the Plaza de Mulas. The whole day took the walk from Confluencia  to Mulas.  Just before the camp, a small snow began to fall, but this is no longer a hindrance when you see the long-awaited tents.  We were warmly welcomed and accommodated in the camp. We were treated to delicious Iranian tea, and in the evening we cooked Argentine meat.  Tomorrow we have a day of relaxation and recovery, as part of the rest we will go to the hotel of the last century.  Maybe we'll visit the gallery of the artist Miguel. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Viktor Volodin.

 As part of the project for the Guinness Book of Records, Tatiana Stupak plans to perform a concert on the gusli at the top of Aconcagua.  The first lucky ones bought tickets.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Chile:

News of the "Lucky Ones" team from the expedition to Ojos del Salado. Today our team drove to the San Francisco Pass. It is a great place for acclimatization and generally iconic. This is the border of Chile and Argentina. We even drove 10 km to the territory of Argentina, to the border guards post. Beauty! Then we visited the abandoned town of gold diggers. Tomorrow we plan to climb to the top of San Francisco 6150m. The weather is good.  And most importantly, we stopped at the Laguna Verde hot springs and washed in hot water there.

Director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko reports from Chile:

January 7. Greetings to all from Chile from Atacama from the group Papas Bravas (Brave Potatoes)! Today we made the first acclimatization ascent of almost 5000 meters - on the top of Seven Brothers Peak. The ascent took place in conditions of strong wind and at times a salt storm. But everything ended well. We reached the top and went down to our camp to the Pink Lake (Laguna Rosa) with flamingos, where a chic dinner from our chef Carolina was waiting for us. We are resting now. Tomorrow we will move to the Verde Lagoon and hot springs.
