The 7 Summits Club guide Alexander Dorojukov sends from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the "Climbers Drink Sparkling Wine" group! Today we climbed to the National Park shelter, checked into comfortable houses. Then we walked higher up the slope to the Refuge of Eleven. There we held training sessions. We trampled snow and ice slopes, chopped ice, felt carabiners. We learned to self-arrest when falling with an ice axe. In general, everything is going according to plan.

Greetings from the group of the 7 Summits Club, which took the name "Mountaineers drink sparkling wine"! Traditionally, we began our acclimatization on the slopes of Mount Cheget. We walked along our beautiful path with views of the clouds, since the mountains did not really want to show themselves to us today. It already feels like autumn is approaching. Cold wind and occasional precipitation. But basically everything is fine, we continue to work according to plan.
