The 7 Summits Club guide Viktor Volodin reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Big greetings from Asia from the "Shashlychnaya Fantasy" group! Today, the whole group took a walk for acclimatization, reached a height of 4 thousand meters, admired the beauty that opened up. The participants feel great, the weather is ringing. We rest for half a day and prepare for tomorrow's exit to the first camp.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov sends from the Elbrus region:

   Greetings from the Elbrus region! Yesterday, July 2, our supergroup "Botaniki" as part of acclimatization made an rotation to the height of 4590 to Pastukhov Rocks. The group's condition is excellent, everyone is in good shape. Today is a day of rest and preparation. And after that - our day, the day of the assault!

The leader of the Denali expedition, group guide Lyudmila Korobeshko sends from Alaska:

 July 2. Greetings to everyone from Alaska from the "Orange Men" group from the Ranger camp at an altitude of 4300m! That's all. Yesterday we made the final decision - today we are descending. Unfortunately, without the summit. The route above 5200 is very dangerous for avalanches. For about two weeks, no one has climbed to the summit. And there is no chance that the route will improve. According to the forecast, strong winds will arrive by evening. So we will try to descend as soon as possible. We are one of the last ones on the Mountain now. There are only 1-2 groups nearby. They are also planning to descend.

It is very sad to leave without the summit...

Two guys in our team planned to close the "7 Summits" project with this Mountain. The rest had one more mountain to climb besides Denali before the project was completed...

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from Elbrus:

 Greetings from Elbrus from the "Wet Karabines" group! Today we walked to Pastukhov Rocks and thus completed the acclimatization ascents. It was clear, but there was a cold wind. The forecast for the following days promises snow, but the main thing for us is no thunderstorm. Tomorrow is a day of rest and then an assault on the summit. Wish us luck!

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

News of Ararat. The 7 Summits Club group "Gloomy Roger" climbed to the assault camp. Today we had a late breakfast, watched how our things were loaded onto the horses, and went along the already known road to the assault camp. There we settled in tents, finally adjusted our equipment and decided to leave at two in the morning to storm the summit of Ararat. Now we are resting before the ascent.

 The 7 Summits Club guide Viktor Volodin reports from Kyrgyzstan:

 News from under Lenin Peak from the "Shashlychnaya Fantasy" group. Today we were on the road all day. Early in the morning we left the glorious city of Osh, drove through the pass and then drove along the wide Alai Valley. In the afternoon we arrived at our base camp, the settlement of Achiktash. There we were very well received, comfortably settled in large permanent tents and fed deliciously. The weather in the base camp is slightly cloudy and cool. We are starting to acclimatize.

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Avtomonov sends from Elbrus:

 Hello everyone from Elbrus! Today the “Praktika” group in full force climbed Pastukhov Rocks. At first we walked through the fog, and then the mountain opened up and a strong wind began. This is where the acclimatization cycle ended. The team went down to the hotel for rest and recuperation before storming the summit of Elbrus.

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

Ararat News: The "Gloomy Roger" group continues its ascent program! Today, the members of our group decided on a name - from now on we will be known as "Gloomy Roger"! The weather, unfortunately, did not spoil us with sunny warmth, but there was no sweltering heat, which made the journey more comfortable.

 We went to the assault camp, and the journey took a little less than three hours. Having reached the camp, the participants rested a little, enjoyed tea and then returned to the base camp. After returning, everyone was treated to a delicious lunch in the fresh air. The day continued with preparing equipment - adjusting crampons and so on. And in the evening, a real surprise awaited us - dinner with fragrant lamb.

Tomorrow the group plans to go to the assault camp with an overnight stay to continue preparing for the ascent. We are heading for the summit and preparing for new challenges!

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Alaska:

We turned around from the Assault Camp at 17,000 feet. The mountain slopes are very dangerous for avalanches, and not a single group went to storm the summit of Denali. We went down the ridge and then came to the 14,000 camp. Here our second team, the "Orange Men," led by Lyudmila Korobeshko, was waiting for us. We went down and walked all night. We arrived at the Airfield. But because of the clouds, the planes are not flying. We are waiting.

The 7 Summits Club Guide Viktor Volodin sends from Kyrgyzstan:

Hello to everyone from the hospitable East from a new group called "Shashlik Fantasy"! Today our entire group gathered in the beautiful city of Osh, where watermelons, melons, peaches and samsa have already ripened. To begin with, we decided to acclimatize and went to the sacred mountain Suleiman-Too, which is located in the city center and is under the patronage of UNESCO. In one go, we crossed the thousand-meter altitude line. Then we walked around the city itself, through its beautiful green parks. Well, and in the evening, a very tasty gala dinner awaited us. If you love Asian cuisine, I definitely recommend coming here and trying the most delicious pilaf, pure honey. With you, Salam aleikum guide Viktor Volodin.

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

   Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today, on the second day of acclimatization, our new super-group "Botaniki" went out for training snow exercises in the area of the Refuge of Eleven (4070 m). There we practiced the skill of self-arrest using an ice axe, as well as moving along a snowy slope, individually and in a rope. We made an imitation of a fixed rope, practiced re-climbing, that is, working with the carabiners of the self-belay on the fixed rope. The weather was not kind, there was poor visibility, but there was no wind. Tomorrow is going to be a difficult day, we are going to a serious height – Pastukhov Rocks. This will be a test of our group’s strength. Wait for new news about tomorrow!

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov sends from Elbrus Region:

 Greetings from the group "Wet Carabines"! Today we climbed to our comfortable refuge National Park, checked into the trailers. After that we went for a walk to the height of 4100, to the area of the Refuge of Eleven. There on the snowy slope we conducted training in mountaineering techniques. We worked with an ice axe, walked along fixed ropes, clicked carabines from rope to rope. We returned, had lunch and are resting before tomorrow's rotation to Pastukhov Rocks.

The leader of the Denali expedition, the guide Lyudmila Korobeshko sends from Alaska:

 June 30. Greetings from Alaska to everyone from the "Orange Men" group! From the Ranger Camp at an altitude of 4300m. We have been here for two days already. We came here the day before yesterday. Yesterday we went to get supplies. Today we are resting and practicing technical skills.

 The situation on the Mountain is difficult - no one has climbed to the summit for almost two weeks. After the last snowfall, the slopes above 5300 on the "autobahn" have become very avalanche-prone. Over the past three days, about ten groups have turned around and gone down without the summit. We are still waiting and hoping. But even today our first group turned around on this section. Today Abramov's group will descend to us. We will decide what to do next.

The 7 Summits Club super guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from Elbrus region

 Greetings from Elbrus region from the "Wet Carabines" group! Our group began to actively acclimatize on the slopes of Mount Cheget. It got colder in the mountains again, the views were covered with clouds, and there was a light rain. The weather has been unstable this season. And a month of summer has already passed, but there is no warmth. We hope that on the day of the ascent we will be lucky with the weather.

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Avtomonov sends from Elbrus region:

 Greetings to everyone from Elbrus region! The 7 Summits Club group called "Praktika" climbed to our assault camp today, the National Park refuge. Having settled, we went to the area of "Refuge of Eleven", where we held classes on the technique of climbing on snowy terrain. All participants showed themselves ready to continue the program. Then we went down to our camp, where we had a delicious lunch and rested.

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

Greetings to everyone from the slopes of Mount Ararat! We have begun a new season! The first group that arrived has not yet decided on its name. We will decide tomorrow. Yesterday, all the participants flew to the city of Van. We all had dinner together in a restaurant and then rested after the flight. This morning we got up early and set out for the city located at the foot of the mountain - Dogubayazit. Then we calmly arrived in three hours to a well-equipped base camp at an altitude of 3,300. We settled into large individual tents and are resting before tomorrow's acclimatization rotation to the assault camp.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Leuan Atabiev reports from the Elbrus region:

Good day to all! The "Pulse of the Mountains" team in a cheerful mood completed their first acclimatization rotation on Mount Cheget and demonstrated good physical fitness and high motivation. We climbed to the "Ai" cafe. The weather was damp, visibility was limited, but the mood remained good.

The President of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Abramov, reports from Alaska:

Our team is in Camp 5 at 17,000 feet. We have one day to the summit. But the slope is avalanche-prone. Today, two teams went down, only reaching the base of the slope. They left without the summit. We are still planning to assault the summit of Denali tomorrow. But it is not yet clear how to cross the avalanche-prone slope. We are thinking.
