News from the Supergirls group! Today is the first day of our active acclimatization program. Our cheerful girl went out to the Terskol gorge! Alpine landscape, a turbulent river, snowy peaks around - all this inspires our girls for the main thing, Elbrus itself is ahead! The group climbed to the famous waterfall, where a photo shoot was arranged. The weather was great, and the day turned out to be great. Tomorrow - continuation of the program. Group guides Alexander Abramov and Natalia Marinkevich.

Today our group continued its ascent. We left Van in the morning, drove three hours to Dogubayazit, from where we saw Ararat for the first time during our trip. Then we changed the car and climbed it to an altitude of 2500 meters. Then we walked to the base camp for acclimatization. It was hot, but we drank a lot of water and slowly reached our camp. We settled into comfortable tents, had a tasty meal and are resting. With you was the guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov.

 Big greetings from sunny Georgia from the group "well-fedKazbek"! Today our whole team started from the village of Stepantsminda in the direction of the summit. Before leaving, each participant threw in about 50 khinkali and khachapuri, washing it all down with saperavi. Then we got to the church by car, from where our path ran along a picturesque path, through the Sabertse pass (3000 m), and after lunch we reached our goal. We checked into a very comfortable lodge "Altihat" with all the amenities. The participants feel great, their appetites are good.

After lunch we went to the rental point, where we rented the missing equipment. Then we rested, took a massage ... Tomorrow we will try to climb higher, we plan to conduct snow training at an altitude of 4100 meters.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin sends from Kyrgyzstan:

 Hello to everyone from Kyrgyzstan! The "Old Bucks" group has climbed to the Camp 3 of Lenin Peak, from where we will set out to climb tonight. The wind was blowing and snowing all day while we were walking from Camp 2 to Camp 3. We settled into tents, had dinner and went to bed. Tomorrow is the climb.

Here our final program of this season on Ararat has begun. The whole group is assembled and the first stage of acquaintance has already been completed. A very interesting team has been assembled, each participant has his own story. For example, one participant with a very symbolic name Ararat decided to climb the cherished peak for the first time and dedicate the ascent to his grandfather.

The majority follow the spirit of adventure, and someone decided to climb five five-thousanders, in order to then move to a new level and go along the six-thousanders. We were glad to meet everyone and promised each other that we would do everything possible to take the next joint photo already at the top.

Your guide Sergey Avtomonov.
