The 7 Summits Club guide Boris Egorov sends from the Elbrus region:

 Greetings from Elbrus! Today, we walked with our guests from the "14 peaks" group to the Pastukhov Rocks. We climbed at a good pace and descended in time, making it to the refuge before the bad weather started. Now we are carefully studying the forecast and preparing for the summit ascent.

The 7 Summits Club guide Sergey Avtomonov sends from Turkey:

Greetings to everyone from the slopes of Mount Ararat! The 7 Summits Club group "Ventilyator" climbed to the assault camp located at an altitude of 4200 today. We are acclimatizing, it is not easy for us, but we try to do everything slowly, without fanaticism, slowly going up. There we rested, looked at the beautiful views and went down. On the way down we got a little wet by the rain, but we were ready for it. Tomorrow we are going to spend the night in the assault camp and go to climb the summit.

The Guide of the 8000 Club group Andrey Berezin reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Hello to everyone from Kyrgyzstan! The "Svet Zhok" group made the first of three planned ascents. Today we went to Yukhin Peak, the height of which is 5130 meters. It is located a couple of kilometers from the first camp. The path goes along small scree slopes. We reached the summit in 3.5 hours. Now a cyclone has come to the region. Therefore, by the time we reached the summit, light snow had fallen. We descended quite quickly along an earthen path. Now everyone is in the camp. We are resting.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexey Lonchinsky reports from the Pamirs:

 The entire team of Club 8000 "CIS Fregat" flew by helicopter to the base camp at the Moskvina glade. All our things and equipment were also delivered. Today we made the first acclimatization rotation, walked to the helipad under the Communism peak. The weather does not spoil us with views, but in general, it did not prevent us from going in comfortable conditions. Tomorrow we plan to conduct training with equipment and prepare for a high-altitude acclimatization hike to the slopes of Korzhenevskaya Peak.

The 7 Summits Club guide Viktor Volodin sends from Kyrgyzstan:

Hello to everyone from almost sunny Asia, from the "Shashlychnaya Fantasy" group! I will give a chronology of the last days. So, before dawn on July 12, we left the first to the second camp. On the 13th, we climbed to the third camp and on the 14th, before dawn again, we set out to storm the summit. Unfortunately, one participant felt ill and had to be lowered back to the third camp, and then to the second camp. I, with one participant, continued the ascent to the summit.

Our route went along rocks and snow-ice slopes. At about 6700 there was a problematic section called "Knife", where ropes were fixed, without which we would have had to sweat a little. Closer to midday the weather began to deteriorate, there was a thick fog, snow. There was also a strong wind at the top. We took a few photos and began the descent. By 19:00 we were in the third camp.

Today, July 15, we began the descent to the first camp and by lunch we safely descended to our tents. The weather is bad, it is snowing. In general, the entire program went well and without incident. Tomorrow we will go down to the city of Osh, soak, sunbathe, and eat well. This is where our expedition of the "Shashlik Fantasy" group of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club ended. Until next time in the mountains!
