The 7 Summits Club Guide Sergey Onufrienko reports from Elbrus:

 Good day to all! Our last VIPs of the Elbrus program, called "high-altitude climbers", rushed to the "Ai" cafe in 1:30. We got wet in the rain, drank tea, and ran down. After lunch, we got dressed at the rental, and at the hotel we had classes on adjusting crampons and systems. And we also found time to walk between the pines, practice fixed ropes climbing. Everyone is cheerful and happy!

 Greetings from Iran! "Perseus and Perseids" are on the finish stretch. Today is an easy but important day for us. We need to have a good rest, eat something tasty - we have all the conditions for this, and our cook Narges is the best specialist on the mountain. Before lunch, we took a leisurely stroll towards the summit, gained 300 m, so to speak, pumped the blood for better acclimatization. After lunch, we have a rest, then an early dinner and, accordingly, an early start. The mood is determined, various options have been worked out, we believe in success!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Alexander Dorojukov reports from Elbrus:

Greetings from Elbrus! The "Smelo s melom" group has begun its program of climbing Elbrus. This is our final group of the season. Today we walked along the slopes of Mount Cheget. We climbed up to the cafe "Ai". The weather is already cold, autumn is felt. According to the forecast, precipitation is promised every day. But it is what it is. Our task is to get up and down.

Greetings from not very hot Africa, but still from its central part, from the slopes of Kilimanjaro, from the supergroup "Words of my girlfriend"! Today we made the transition from the Shira camp (3800 m) to the next camp Barranco (3900 m). During our journey, we climbed to a height of 4631 meters, to a camp called Lava Tower, where a carefully prepared lunch was waiting for us. The descent took an hour and a half, and we again found ourselves in the caring hands of our support group. Tomorrow we go to the Karanga camp at 4000m, along the legendary Barranco wall.

The group's guides are Evgeny Fedyunin and Dmitry Semenov.
