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

Greetings to all from the slopes of Ararat! Today, the group "Van cats" continued to acclimatize. We had breakfast and went out to 4200. It was very hot again today. We walked, drank a lot of water and tried not to hurry. Admired the views, filmed them. We reached the assault camp in 4 hours, then two hours down and came to the base camp. There was even a hot shower in the camp.  We ate, bathed and began to relax. In the evening there was a delicious barbecue dinner and now a full rest.

Yesterday we went up to the Ai cafe, today we went up at the National Park Refuge and held classes on the technique of climbing on snow and self-arrest using an ice axe. Tomorrow we go to the Pastukhov Rocks.

News from Khan Tengri Peak (from August 15). "Greetings to all from the Khan-Tengri base camp from the Omatikayi group! We went down from the acclimatization rotation. We managed to climb up to the level of 6000 meters. Yesterday there was a strong wind on the descent. We felt like flying snakes on the fixed ropes, there was a feeling that the mountain wanted to throw us off its slopes. Today is our day of rest. The sun is shining again."
