Greetings from Kyrgyzstan! The Pamir Vagabonds group climbed to the First Camp of Lenin Peak yesterday. The hike took about five hours at a good, steady pace.

And for some participants, the program of stay at Lenin Peak has ended. Our participant Yulia climbed Domashniy Peak, and was very happy about it.

 Greetings from Peru! The day before, our team split into two parts. Half spent the night in the star lodge - it's lower, but with hot baths. And I, with two participants, met the sunset in capsules at the very top of the sky lodge. Having woken up in the morning at a dizzying height, and in incredible comfort, we had a delicious breakfast and quickly went down the ziplines. Having reunited, our "Intipalka" team continued to explore the history of ancient civilizations. We visited several ancient cities, admired the terraces and marveled at the industriousness of the Incas.

Hello 7 Summits! The slope of Kilimanjaro is in charge. Yesterday, the plan was almost completely fulfilled. It's a pity that now they don't let us climb the Lawa Tower itself, we would have climbed there for a better view. Now we are finishing our morning coffee and looking at the Barranco Wall. In an hour, we will storm it on the way to the next camp. The devices show that the condition of all our participants is satisfactory, which is confirmed by the whole team. We are walking moderately smoothly, in a friendly manner, we are coping with the height.

To get here, we climbed for more than an hour along a via ferrata. The wind whistles around us and the starry sky above us. This is an incredible place where you can feel a little bit like climbers on vertical walls!

Valery Myasoedov, the Guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:

 Greetings from Kyrgyzstan! Another group from the summer season of the 8000 Club arrived at the Lenin Peak Base Camp today. On the way, we got stuck in a traffic jam for an hour and a half, and work was being carried out on the Pamir Highway to clear the slopes of dangerous stones. But this did not affect our excellent mood, and the amazing comfortable yurts in which we will spend two nights raised it even more. The day before, we spent the day in Osh, walked around the city and along Mount Suleiman-Too, and had dinner at the national restaurant Navat. Fortunately, despite numerous flight delays and cancellations, everyone arrived on time, and now nothing prevents us from starting our program. The group name will be ready tomorrow.
