Dmitry Semenov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today, our supergroup "7:40", as part of acclimatization, made a rotation to the area of the Refuge of Eleven. Training sessions were held there, where we practiced climbing along a snowy slope, as well as self-errrest using an ice axe.

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

Greetings from the group "To Turkey to warm up"!  Today we went to acclimatize to the assault camp! We got there quickly, in 4 hours. We admired the beautiful views and enjoyed the good weather. There was no rain today and a wonderful view of the Ararat Valley opened up. Tomorrow we are going to spend the night in the assault camp and climb at night. The weather (according to the forecast) promises to be good!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Dorojukov, reports from the Elbrus region:

The group "Experts in acclimatization" continues to acclimatize, now on the slopes of Mount Elbrus.  Today we went up to the refuge of the National Park and settled in comfortable conditions.  Then we went out on the slope and held classes with ice axes, rode on the remaining snow on our backs. In general, everything is fine.

The friendly and purposeful group "Northern Scoundrels" under the leadership of Karina Mezova acclimatizes before climbing Elbrus on the North side. We wish the weather and good luck to the climbers! We believe in every participant! May everything turn out great on the day of the ascent!

Olga Rumyantseva, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Peru:

 Greetings from Peru from an as yet unnamed band! She is nameless, because so far all the participants have not managed to meet together and come up with a name.

Today, the second part of our group was not without adventures, but still, to our great joy, we reached Cuzco.

The advanced part of the group, after watching the Independence Day parade in the morning, moved closer to the Sacred Valley of the Incas to spend the night in the most unusual and most extreme hotel - in capsules nailed to the rocks.

To be precise, we have two hotels. Half of the group stayed at the Sky Lodge, which is a more modest hotel in terms of conditions. But to get to the place of accommodation, you have to go through a difficult path along Via Ferrata, overcoming various obstacles for an hour and a half.

The other half of the group stayed at the Star Lodge. Here, the path to the capsules on the rocks is not so extreme. But the accommodation is more comfortable and there are barrels of hot water in which it is so great to steam with a view of the valley. And although Via Ferrata is not difficult, it still leaves an unforgettable impression.

Especially when you return to your house on the cliff after dinner in the dark.

A very interesting and unforgettable experience.

I hope that tomorrow our team will finally get together and we will go on a tour of the Sacred Valley, and then take the train and go to Machu Picchu.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Dorojukov, reports from the Elbrus region:

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

Greetings to all from the slopes of Ararat! Today, our group called "To Turkey to warm up" moved out of the city of Van and reached the city of Dogubayazit in a couple of hours. From there, we finally saw our destination, Mount Ararat. Then, after getting a snack and water, we went out along a beautiful road towards the base camp. On the way, the rain tried to scare us several times, but in the end it did not get wet. It took us 4 hours to get to our accommodation for the next two days. We stayed in tents, had a delicious meal and just rested for a few hours. In the evening we discussed the plan for tomorrow and had dinner. Now we are resting before tomorrow's acclimatization rotation.

Pamir is in touch!  We spent several days enjoying the benefits of civilization at the Lenin Peak base camp. We walked to the local beautiful lake, visited a massage parlor, a sauna, and visited the International Mountaineering Camp (MAL), which turned 50 this year. After that, we moved to the first camp, where we will "catch" the weather for climbing.

Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Peru:

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

Hello everyone from Ararat! The program of the new group of the 7 Summits Club has begun. Today we arrived in the city of Van, stayed in a hotel.

Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today (July 19) our supergroup "Young and Beautiful" made a successful ascent of Mount Elbrus.

Greetings from Kyrgyzstan from the "Always Gotov-s" group! The acclimatization part of the program continues. Three busy days flew by quickly, we are already in the Base Camp, resting, gaining strength before the decisive exit. During these days, we spent two nights in the Second Camp with a rotation to the Third Camp and Razdelnaya Peak itself, 6.148 m. It is worth noting that both groups, going in parallel, in full force entered Razdelnaya in a strong wind. And special mention should be made of our young 18-year-old participants Katya and Natalia, for whom Razdelnaya was the finale of the program. However, Katya, feeling confident in her abilities, changed her plans and decided to go with the main group to the summit of Lenin Peak! The weather is stabilizing, our chances are growing, we believe in our success. Guide Valery Myasoedov.

 The group of the 7 Summits Club "Forbidden Flatlanders" has successfully reached the top of Mount Ararat. The night before the ascent, a thunderstorm broke out on the mountain, and we were afraid that we would have to walk in the rain. However, by 2 a.m. the rain had stopped, and despite the thick fog, we began to climb. In five hours we successfully reached the summit of Ararat. After going down the valley, the group went to the city of Dogubayazit, where we are currently resting after a strenuous hike.
