A guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Nepal:

 Good afternoon, greetings from Nepal!  We are at the start of the climbing season in the big mountains. And it all starts with small - we go to the trekking around Annapurna. Today we started our event.  Finally packed up, bought the missing things.  In Kathmandu, we walked through museums and visited Swayambhu stupa. Now we are packing up and preparing for tomorrow's flight to Pokhara.

Super-guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexey Lonchinsky reports from the Elbrus region:

A mountain school - training courses for climbing Mount Everest, Denali and Antarctica has completed its work in the Elbrus region. We were able to go autonomously with all the necessary equipment and provisions for 5 days to the area of Lake Elbrus, get up to a safe bivouac. We conducted classes on the basic principles of safe movement on ice and snow terrain, how to properly use a field kitchen and cook! For the first time, they were able to go up from the lake to the Mir station and then settle in the houses of the National Park shelter. The next day, we made an acclimatization rotation to 4600 (Pastukhov Rocks).

The weather in the region was unstable, the ascent had to be abandoned. The window for a safe ascent will only be in a few days. We went down. Unfortunately, we were met with rain and sleet...

We hope that next year there will be lower temperatures and more snow! Guides Alexey Lonchinsky and Dmitry Semenov.
