 Greetings from the Elbrus region! Today our supergroup called "Beryozki" began preparations for climbing Mount Elbrus.

The weather is excellent and the condition of the group is excellent! Wait for further news from us!

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Georgy Bushuev reports from the Elbrus region.

Good day to all! Update from the international group of the 7 Summits Club "Highfive". Today, August 11, the group in full force successfully climbed to the top of Elbrus. In perfect weather! Revenge was a success! Most of the group is already on their way to the airport.

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

 Greetings to everyone from the Elbrus region! The group of the 7 Summits Club called "Mountain Ladies" began their acclimatization before climbing Elbrus with a walk along the slopes of Mount Cheget. We climbed at a good pace to the "Ai" cafe and managed to go down to the hotel before the precipitation. In the evening we went to the rental, picked up the necessary equipment for tomorrow's trip to the slopes of Elbrus.

The Southern Elbrus region and the "Highfive" group welcome! On August 8, we attempted to storm the Western summit of Elbrus, in a short weather window after a thunderstorm. Weather conditions (possibility of repeated thunderstorms, cloudiness, wind, precipitation) allowed to climb only to the height of 5250 m, after which the decision was made to turn around. The guests cope with all the difficulties of the big mountains with dignity.

We are preparing for the revenge from August 10 to 11 in full force.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Avtomonov sends from the Northern Elbrus region:

Hello to everyone from the Northern Elbrus region! On August 7, the group of the 7 Summits Club "SIR VARK" climbed along the route from the north to the Eastern summit of Elbrus. On this day, there was a very strong wind, which prevented part of the team from reaching the summit. One member of the team with the guide climbed to the summit. But in principle, we can say that we were lucky with the weather, since we managed to climb the mountain before the thunderstorm and severe weather.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from the Elbrus region:

 News from August 8. Hello everyone! The group "Moscow Eagles" of the 7 Summits Club today made an attempt to climb Western Elbrus 5642m! In the conditions of a thunderstorm front and a headwind snowstorm, it was not easy. Sometimes falling knee-deep (and this is in August!) in grainy snow, we were able to get through in 2.5 hours only to an altitude of 5200 m. Then all the groups together made an unambiguous decision to retreat! On the International Day of Mountaineering, Elbrus, as often happens, showed its harsh disposition and character!

In the evening there was a gala dinner with conversations and plans for new Mountains!

The 7 Summits Club Guide Olya Rumyantseva reports from Elbrus region:

 Hello to everyone from the slopes of Elbrus, where today our Climbuli group made an acclimatization climb towards Pastukhov Rocks.

Unfortunately, due to the bad weather that broke out, we did not reach the rocks, but we had a great walk to a height of almost 4400 meters. We walked in the rain, under ice pellets, and when lightning began to flash, we decided that we had enough adventures for today.

After that, we quickly went down to the cable car. While we were changing from one line of the cable car to another, we got caught in such a downpour that we got soaked through and decided that today we were not Climbuli, but Wetbuli.

At the hotel, we warmed up, dried off, rested and tomorrow we plan to climb to the refuge to go on an ascent.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olya Rumyantseva sends from the Elbrus region:

 Greetings to everyone from the Elbrus region from the Climbuli team! Today was our first truly high-altitude trip. We climbed to an altitude of 4100 meters, where the famous Refuge of 11 was once located. And now there is a wonderful slope for snow training.

All team members got acquainted with the equipment. They learned to put on safety systems and crampons and walk in them.

We were sliding down steep wet-snow slopes, learning to hack in the snow without hacking at themselves and those around them. They deftly walked up and down, digging their crampons' sharp teeth into the snow-ice slopes.

After the lesson, we stopped by our National Park куагпу, where we were very hospitably greeted. We only wanted to have a cup of tea, but our hospitable cooks did not let the guests go without a plate of borscht. At the куагпу, we met other groups of the 7 Summits Club, who were planning to storm Elbrus tonight. We wished them good luck. And we ourselves went down to the hotel to rest after a whole day of entertainment at altitude.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olya Rumyantseva sends from the Elbrus region:

Hello to everyone from the sunny and very hot Elbrus region! Our small but very active German-Russian team gathered here yesterday, and decided to call itself Climbuli.

Today we had a short walk along the picturesque slopes of Cheget. We went up to the "Ai" cafe, and on the way we looked at the beautiful peaks of Elbrus and Donguzorun. We rented all the necessary equipment and prepared for tomorrow's snow activities, where all participants will finally find out why they rented so many beautiful, interesting things.

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the Elbrus region from the "Assault Bags" group! Today our group finished the high-altitude part of acclimatization by climbing Pastukhov Rocks 4650m. Tomorrow we have a day of rest and at night we will go to storm Elbrus.

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov sends from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today our supergroup, which took the name "Assault Bags", climbed to our high-altitude camp, the National Park refuge, at an altitude of 3880 meters. After settling into comfortable trailers, we went to snow and ice training sessions in the area of the Refuge of Eleventh , at an altitude of 4070 m. There we worked on the skills of moving along a snow slope, self-arresting with an ice axe in case of a fall, and also practiced moving along  fixed ropes.

 Hello to everyone from the southern slopes of Elbrus! Today the international group of the 7 Summits Club "Highfive" moved to the upper camp, to the refuge on the slopes of Elbrus.

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Dmitry Semenov reports from the Elbrus region:

 Greetings from the Elbrus region! Today, our new supergroup on its first acclimatization day climbed the slopes of Mount Cheget to the famous cafe "Ai" at 2700m. The first part of the route goes along a picturesque path in a coniferous forest, and the second part of the route goes through blooming alpine meadows. Good weather contributed to a great mood.

Guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Elbrus:

 4.08. Hello everyone! The new group of the 7 Summits Club called "Moscow Eagles" began acclimatization before climbing Elbrus on the slopes of Mount Cheget. We went to the famous cafe "Ai" at an altitude of 2750 m, where we drank local fragrant herbal tea.

Take care of yourself!

Good weather and good luck to everyone!
