The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

And again, news from Tanzania. Today, a new group, which still can't come up with a name, began its ascent to Kilimanjaro along the Machame route. It was raining in the morning. We arrived at the national park in full rainproof ammunition. But while the necessary documents were being processed before going on the route, the rain passed.

And there the sun appeared. So we saw the jungle in all its glory, which could not fail to impress. And everyone really liked our camp and a delicious dinner.

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

Ararat is in touch, we continue climbing. The program of the new group has begun. We gathered in the city of Van, spent the night in a hotel and moved to Dogubayazit. We drove along a picturesque road along the lake to the mountains. We changed the car, got to the horses and then walked for 4 hours to the base camp, where we had a delicious lunch and rested. In the evening we admired the lights of the city and now we are resting before tomorrow's acclimatization rotation. And we are thinking about the name of the group.

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

 News of the Elbrus region. A new group began preparations for climbing Elbrus. Today we went to the Ai cafe, on the slope of Cheget Mountain. The morning turned out to be rainy, so we shifted the exit time so as not to get wet through before reaching Cheget. We climbed along a picturesque forest path that smoothly crossed the Alpine meadows. When we passed under the cable car, we heard encouraging wishes from tourists climbing up. After spending some time in the Ai cafe, we went back to the hotel, from where we went to rent the necessary equipment after lunch. Tomorrow we will go up to the refuge, where we will continue to prepare for the ascent.

We haven't waited for good weather yet, but there is still hope. Today our third group went up to Camp-1. And groups 1 and 2 continued to "sit out" in Camp-2.

Tomorrow is a key and decisive day - either up or down to rest and wait for the weather window.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club and 8000 Club Valery Myasoedov reports from Tajikistan:

Greetings from Tajikistan! Sorry for the long forced silence, there was a problem with the Internet in a remote mountainous area on Moskvin's Glade. It's time to call our group "In search of Wi-Fi". During this time, we completed the acclimatization program and on July 22 we climbed the Peak of Korzhenevskaya, 7105 m. Acclimatization went according to plan, the day of the assault was chosen correctly, almost the entire group successfully reached the top. Unfortunately, one participant felt unwell in the third camp at 6300 m and nobly refused the assault, saying that he would not prevent the main group from reaching the top. The first half of the day delighted us with fantastic landscapes at the Peak of Communism and the entire ridge route of Korzhenevskaya Peak. And in the afternoon, on the contrary, it was covered with clouds, which made it easier for us to descend. The team showed indomitable character and willpower. Together with six other climbers, we were practically the first commercial group of this season on the summit that day. Before us, only a team of guides and Aksai Travel porters came to the top. As communication improves, there will also be a video as a separate block. In the meantime, we are happy and enjoying our rest at the Base Camp.
