The 7 Summits Club Guide Alexander Dorojukov reports from Mexico:

The "V Pepel" group decided to rename itself and now call itself "14 Friends of Julio". Yesterday we walked along the slopes of La Malinche, through a beautiful forest with gorgeous views. The weather is gorgeous, very warm and sunny. Also yesterday we saw our main goal - the Orizaba volcano. Good mood to everyone!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Boris Egorov reports from Iran:

News from Iran. Today, in three and a half hours at a super-even pace, we gained a kilometer of altitude and reached the refuge at an altitude of 4200 meters. While we were walking, the wind didn't bother us much, we even walked half the way in fleece jackets. But at the shelter it was already blowing quite a bit, and although the sun was shining, it was still cold. We tried not to get scared and prepared for the assault. The departure was scheduled for 4:30.

Today the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" team has arrived in Mexico. Tomorrow we are moving to the Orizaba Base Camp. And on the night of November 12-13 we are planning an ascent. To the 4th volcano from the project. The weather forecast is excellent. Alexander Abramov and Ilya Gladkikh.

The 7 Summits Club guide Boris Egorov sends from Iran:

Greetings from Iran! Unexpectedly for this mountain, Artem and I arrived at Damavand. Time is running out, but we flew according to the forecast. Well, as according to the forecast... the weather is walkable, but on the edge, windy. Today we arrived straight from the airport at 2200 and are resting in the hotel. So far, everything is going according to plan.

Actually, I arrived a day earlier than Artem. Yesterday, with my friend, the first Iranian with an international guide certificate, we climbed the local rocks not far from the capital.

Greetings from mountainous Nepal! Today in the afternoon our supergroup "Inseparable" came to the high-mountain lodge Gorakshep (5100 m.). And after a short rest, we climbed Mount Kalapathar (5644 m.) And not in vain, to see Everest in the setting sun, it is worth a lot! Tomorrow our roads will lead us only down.

Then there was a descent through the humid jungle and the long-awaited comfortable hotel. In the evening, a ceremonial event was held to present certificates, medals and mutual gratitude. As usual, the party was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Smiles, laughter, handshakes and hugs, and even dancing, despite the fatigue!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin: 11/5-6/2024. Jambo Rafiki!

There was no connection, a hundred thousand sorry! During these two days, the "Chameleons" group of the 7 Summits Club climbed to the Kibo assault camp at 4730 m. On the way there, we had lunch in a beautiful gazebo located in the saddle between Mount Mawenzi at 5145 m and the main summit of the Kilimanjaro massif, Uhuru Peak at 5895 m.

On the night of 6.11, we set out to assault in two groups, an hour apart, and by 8.00 we reunited on the crater in the Gilmans point area at 5685 m.

And by 10 am, our entire friendly team stood at the highest point of Africa, Uhuru Peak at 5895 m in the Kilimanjaro massif! Unfortunately, one girl, due to health reasons, turned back from a height above 5000 m. By evening, tired but happy, we descended to the Horombo camp at 3720 m, where a varied and delicious dinner awaited us.

Happy everyone! Today we go down to the Marangu gate and leave for our favorite hotel Aishe Machame.

Good luck to everyone!
