The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Avtomonov reports from the Elbrus region:

The 7 Summits Club group "Baul" in full force climbed the highest point of Russia and Europe, Mount Elbrus. We waited for the weather to improve and used the extra reserve day. The only thing is that there were a lot of other groups on the route. The team safely descended, accepting congratulations and making plans for the future.

The 7 Summits Club guide Natalia Marinkevich reports from the Elbrus region:

 Today the group "The Magnificent Seven and Natalia" successfully climbed the summit of Elbrus! The weather was favorable and there were many people on the mountain today. To climb to the top, we had to stand in line! The team successfully descended and is preparing to celebrate a successful ascent.

Pamir is calling! On August 15, the Club 8000 group "Lenin, brothers!" climbed Lenin Peak! The day was long. The first half of the day, as usual in the Pamirs, was clear and cloudless. We reached the summit after lunch; at which time the mountain was already covered by clouds and light snow began to fall. The descent took place under a snowfall. Here we felt all the vast expanses of Lenin Peak and its power. As a result, closer to the evening, the whole team was in the Third Camp.

On August 16, we safely descended to the First camp. Next, Osh with its benefits of civilization awaits us. Group guides Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.
