Namaste from Nepal!  The Himalayan Fox Cubs group continues to acclimatize and prepare for the ascent of Mera Peak. Today we had climbed to the Mera La pass with a height of 5,300 meters. We worked out the movement in ropes on the glacier. Tomorrow we will go to the assault camp at 5800, from where we will go out to storm the summit. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Nepal:

 Greetings to all from the Dhaulagiri Base Camp at 4700! Today we made a long march from 3600 (Italian Base Camp) to the main Base camp at 4700. It took us 7.5 hours. The path is not the easiest - there are many ascents and descents. So we gained about 1,500 meters in total.

The valley leading to the Dhaulagiri Base Camp is absolutely wild. We didn't meet anyone at all on the way. And the terrain is very similar to Tibet. The route to the Middle Camp is moraines, steep cliffs, dust, waterfalls.

Our camp is very comfortable - large single tents with beds. We plan to rest and acclimatize in the base camp for the next two days.

Namaste from Nepal! The Himalayan Fox Cubs group climbed to a height of 5260 m in the morning. In the plans for acclimatization, and after lunch we mastered jumars and launching devices. Tomorrow we plan to climb the Mera La pass.  The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Sergey Avtomonov.
