 President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Pakistan: The team "Welcome to Pakistan" from Pakistan. It is the best country. This morning, waking up in tents on the Diosai plateau, our team, tired after successfully climbing to the Highest point of Mount Shatun 5400m, was surprised to find tents littered with snow. Quickly plunging into the jeeps, we rushed down to the district center of Skardu - in the heat.

 A short road led us to paradise. We went to the Cold Desert, a unique place where the World Rally Cup takes place. These are sand dunes on which you can drive on all types of equipment. Beauty!!! In the evening we said goodbye to half of the team that finishes the trip. The second part of the team starts a new ascent of the technically difficult summit Hosar Ganga (6200m) tomorrow. There may not be a connection for 4 days.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Pakistan:

The team is at the top of Mount Shantung. Details will be available later. It's snowing now.  Thunderstorm. After leaving the Base Camp at 4200 at 5 am, at 11:30 we climbed to the summit of Shantung. This is the highest peak of the Dilsai Plateau.

The President of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Abramov from Pakistan:

 Leaving the town of Chilas early in the morning, we reached the settlement of Tato in 4 hours by jeep on a crazy road.  This is where our trekking, probably the most beautiful in my life, began. We were walking through a pine forest surrounded by rocky mountains and mountain streams.   And by nightfall we reached the world-famous Fairy Meadow place - fantastic meadows. Here we settled in nice wooden houses.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Pakistan:

Today, September 25, is officially the first day of the expedition of the 7 Summits Club and company 8000.guide to Pakistan.  The team led by Alexander Abramov, who was named "Maria Ivanovna", had a great day in Islamabad today.

All arrived, all things flew. Checked the equipment - found the missing. We visited the largest mosque in Southeast Asia, visited the monument to those who died for the freedom of Pakistan, went to the bazaar and finished the day at the Kabul restaurant with delicious kebabs.Alexander Kharchenkov also had a birthday today. Which we cheerfully celebrated on the roof of our hotel. The team gave him a gift. Everyone had a lot of fun. Tomorrow we leave in the direction of Nanga Parbat.  Adventures and dangers begin. Hurray!

 Addition: By tradition in Pakistan, all people are very friendly and polite, many happily ask to take a selfie with strangers. Therefore, our movement around the city was slow, but solemn. Everyone was very satisfied with a wonderful day.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Pakistan:

Project 8000.guide of the 7 Summits Club in action.  Today, the first part of the team arrived in Pakistan. And after a short rest, we went climbing. To the nearest mountain.  In 2.5 hours we gained 1000m. It began to rain wildly and a thunderstorm began.  But the team continued climbing.  After that, we decided to call the team "Wet in the Dark". We're soaked to the skin. Lightning flashed every second. Such a test turned the team into a Monolith!
