July 27^th  the top of Mount Kazbek was reached by the 7 Summits Club by a team, consisting of citizens of the Republic of Latvia. We all congratulated them on the successful ascent. And heroes of Kazbek sent us some photos to illustrate their expedition. It's obvious that everything turned out, all participants are satisfied or even happy. So it should be, because we go to the mountain for happiness!

Today our Latvian group started the climb from the Meteorological station at night. And in the morning, when the overall favorable weather conditions, the summit Kazbek was achieved by all members of the group. Congratulations on your great success! New summits and new achievements!

Today Natalya climbed to the top of Mount Kazbek together with our Georgian guide. But her friend Zakhar had to turn back from the col due to poor health (lack of acclimatization).

Congratulations to Natasha! We wish both of them new mountains!!!
