The 7 Summits Club super guide Viktor Volodin reports from Kyrgyzstan:

 Again information from the "Shashlychnaya Fantasy" group. The calendar shows July 6th and we have a rest day planned. But we didn't waste time, in the morning we adjusted crampons to our boots and held training sessions on climbing and descending a fixed rope. Then we walked in ropes. After lunch we received food for tomorrow's trip. Tomorrow we leave at two in the morning to the second camp. On July 8th, a rotation to Razdelnaya is planned, again spending the night in the second camp. And on the 9th we descend to the first camp. Here is the plan for these days. Wish us a good and easy journey, patience and luck. These days we will be without communication, be patient, wait for new messages!

News from the group "Shashlik Fantasy". This morning we handed over our things to be loaded onto horses for transportation to the first camp. We had a hearty breakfast and set out towards Lenin Peak, in the direction of the first camp, located at an altitude of 4,300 m. And without hurrying and without rushing, we crossed the Travelers' Pass and were there by 3 p.m. There we had a delicious lunch and accommodation in luxurious glamping tents. This is always the case with the participants of the 7 Summits - Club 8000 groups. The weather is wonderful, the participants feel great.

 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.
