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

Greetings from the Elbrus region. Today our supergroup "InOk" in full force climbed Mount Elbrus (5642 m). We walked at a good pace and in a great mood, so at 6 am we were already standing on the top and admiring the beautiful views of the mountains. We were lucky with the weather, the sun was shining and the visibility was excellent. Well done everyone! Ahead of us is a gala dinner with awards.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Valery Myasoedov:

Greetings from Iran! The "Ripe Peaches" group, or rather part of it, is still in the country and is making a sightseeing tour of the ancient capitals of Persia.

Yesterday, early in the morning, we flew to Shiraz, the capital of the province of Fars, and spent the whole day in this ancient city of poets, love and roses. So many magnificent gardens and parks, magnificent mosques... in this aspect Shiraz has no competitors. We visited the Narenjestan Garden, the Garden of Eden, the tomb of Hafez, the great poet of the 14th century, revered by all Iranians, then had lunch in a traditional restaurant near the Vakil Bazaar. The bazaar itself has 400 years of history, a walk through it is an obligatory part of the program of stay in Shiraz. In the evening we walked in the city center around the Karim Khan Fortress, where on weekends, and Thursday is a day off in Iran, like Saturday in our country, thousands of city dwellers gather, and tasted the famous Shiraz dessert faloodeh. A wonderful end to the day!
