Greetings from the Pamirs! The "Lenin, brothers!" group has arrived at the Edelweiss glade, at the base camp of Lenin Peak, altitude 3600. For acclimatization, we went to the shoulder of Petrovsky Peak. Then we go to the first camp, where we will continue acclimatization and prepare for the ascent. The group's guides are Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

The third group of this season from Club 8000 is already in Kyrgyzstan! Today we arrived at the Base Camp and are starting the program of climbing Lenin Peak. The day before, our participants arrived in Osh throughout the day. Of course, we had a traditional walk around the city and climbed Suleiman-Too. Then we all gathered together for a welcome dinner in our favorite teahouse "Navat". All the participants are cheerful, happy and determined. The name of the group has not yet been thought up, but it will definitely be announced in the next news. Guides Valery Myasoedov and Andrey Berezin.

Greetings from Kyrgyzstan, the glorious city of Osh! The joint group of the 8000 Club on Lenin Peak has completed the program! Today we saw off the last participants. And the day before, we held an award ceremony at a gala dinner. The best tea house of Osh "Navat" was chosen for the ceremony. The busy program and the early departure of some participants did not allow the ceremony to be held in full, nevertheless, it took place and was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

 All participants noted that the mountain is very difficult, it was hard. The path to the top was trodden only in the 20th of July, which makes our achievement more significant. We are proud of our participants, they showed incredible endurance and will to the top, without this, no ascent to such a height is possible. Well done! Guides Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

Greetings from the Pamirs!  On July 26, our group climbed the summit of Lenin Peak, 7134 m. The weather was perfect, it was even hot in places. All the participants have been to the top. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

Andrey Berezin, the guide of the 8000 Club  and the7 Summits Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Pamir is in touch!  We spent several days enjoying the benefits of civilization at the Lenin Peak base camp. We walked to the local beautiful lake, visited a massage parlor, a sauna, and visited the International Mountaineering Camp (MAL), which turned 50 this year. After that, we moved to the first camp, where we will "catch" the weather for climbing.

Greetings from Kyrgyzstan from the "Always Gotov-s" group! The acclimatization part of the program continues. Three busy days flew by quickly, we are already in the Base Camp, resting, gaining strength before the decisive exit. During these days, we spent two nights in the Second Camp with a rotation to the Third Camp and Razdelnaya Peak itself, 6.148 m. It is worth noting that both groups, going in parallel, in full force entered Razdelnaya in a strong wind. And special mention should be made of our young 18-year-old participants Katya and Natalia, for whom Razdelnaya was the finale of the program. However, Katya, feeling confident in her abilities, changed her plans and decided to go with the main group to the summit of Lenin Peak! The weather is stabilizing, our chances are growing, we believe in our success. Guide Valery Myasoedov.

Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club and 8000 Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Pamir is in touch!  The group "Gentlemen and Fairies" climbed, as part of the acclimatization,  the peak Razdelnaya (6148). We spent two nights in the Second Camp at an altitude of 5200. We got acquainted with the Lenin Icefall, with the famous "Frying Pan". We've gone down to rest now.  And we will wait for the weather for the ascent.

Andrey Berezin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Greetings from the Pamirs! The group "Gentlemen and Fairies" spent two days in the First Camp of Lenin Peak. To acclimatize, we went to Domashny Peak, up to a height of 4800 meters.  And today we held snow and ice classes.  We have mastered the skills of moving on ropes. Tomorrow we will go to the Second Camp for two nights, and we also plan to climb the Razdelnaya peak.

Valery Myasoedov, a guide of the 8000 Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Greetings from Kyrgyzstan from Lenin Peak from the group "Always ready-s"! We are already in the First Camp at 4,400 m! We reached it at a good pace in 5 hours. We didn't have time for lunch according to the schedule, but, of course, they were waiting for us, and the stuffed peppers were universally approved. The weather is not good, it is even more or less acceptable before lunch, which we took advantage of, today we held snow and ice classes, remembered the skills of using jumars and ascender devices. After lunch, it was swept away, we rest in comfortable tents with mattresses, pillows and blankets, and electricity is supplied to each tent, a light bulb and a pilot for charging. It's somehow more pleasant to experience bad weather this way.

Greetings from Kyrgyzstan from the "Always ready-s" group! On the second day of the program, according to the plan, we had the beginning of active acclimatization, reaching the shoulder of Petrovsky peak. On a clear, slightly cool morning, Lenin Peak appeared in front of us. He appeared like such a snow-covered giant, showing his power and greatness and setting us up for a serious challenge. We accept the call and start working. The walk turned out to be unhurried, at a comfortable pace for everyone. We reached the 4000 m mark, admired the surroundings and went down to the camp at lunchtime. We never cease to be surprised by the service at the Base Camp and marvel at the amenities of our super comfortable yurts. It will be a pity to leave them, but tomorrow we plan to move to the First Camp. Guides Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov (Lenin Peak blitz program):

Today Is July 12th. The weather forecast is good.  And we go up to Camp 3. 6100m. And at night we go out to climb. It is the 8th day of our blitz, we arrived in Achik-Tash on July 5th.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club and 8000 Club Viktor Volodin reports from Kyrgyzstan:

 Good afternoon, everyone! News in recent days from the Octobrata group. We started climbing at one o'clock in the morning on July 10th. The weather was not favorable: it was snowing and the wind was blowing, which knocked them off their feet. But we continued our hard way to the summit. When we reached the "Knife", a steep section at an altitude of 6700, the wind increased even more. And then the right decision was made to return back. At the same time, the wind did not abate, but knocked them down. Upon returning to the Third Camp, the weather did not improve. Gathering our strength, we went down to the First Camp and then to the glorious city of Osh. All participants are happy and joyful.

Pamir is in touch! The "Always ready-s" group at the base camp of Lenin peak Achik-Tash. 6 hours along the Pamir highway, and now we are at the foot of the giant. The camp greeted us with rain and snow. We were accommodated in comfortable yurts: with electricity and a shower in the room. Good comfort is the key to a good ascent. Tomorrow we are going to acclimatize to the slope of Petrovsky Peak. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

Pamir is in touch! The group (as yet untitled) gathered in the beautiful city of Osh, from where our path to Lenin Peak begins. Today we took a look at the sights of the city, including Mount Sulaiman.  We also tried the local cuisine. Then we are already going to Achik-Tash, to the base camp of Lenin Peak. One of the participants of our expedition is the famous cosmonaut Sergei Ryazansky. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Valery Myasoedov.

Guide of the 7 Summits Club and 8000 Club Viktor Volodin reports from Kyrgyzstan:

 Today, 07/9.24. The group "Octobrata" came in full strength and in full health to the Third camp at an altitude of 6100 meters.  The weather does not want to spoil us and tests our endurance. Everything is fine with us: we settled into tents, had a hearty snack and went to bed. Because, as always, we have an early exit.

 The guide of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club Viktor Volodin:

 8.07.24. The group "Octobrata", at the crack of dawn, went to the Second camp. After the snowfall, the trail was covered, but not much. We walked slowly, it was good that the weather allowed us to do so.  So, we went up to the camp, which is located on a slope, and therefore places for a tent are limited. But we were lucky, they put up a large tent, with tables and benches, where you can comfortably sit and eat well. The well-being of the band members is good, everyone is resting. Tomorrow we will move to an altitude of 6100 meters, to the Third Camp.

R.S. Yesterday, the head of the 7 Summits Club, Alexander Abramov, came to the First Camp, who gave us a lot of valuable and useful advice.

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

Yesterday we reached Camp One at an altitude of 4300m. A lot of snow. The camp is comfortable, the tents are great, the food is great. Here we met our first group under the leadership of Viktor Volodin. Tonight they went to storm Lenin Peak.

The 7 Summits Club and 8000 Club guide Viktor Volodin reports:

Good day to all! The "Oktyabryata" group has decided to postpone the assault on Lenin Peak due to the fact that we have only collected 90 thousand wishes for a successful ascent. We decided to wait another day to get a round number - one hundred thousand. So we are leaving tonight. Everything is fine with us, everyone is determined to win, the team members are feeling great.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club Viktor Volodin reports:

Today, on July 3, the Octobrata group left the Second Camp for an acclimatization climb towards the summit of Razdelnaya. The weather was windy, but also sunny. The participants feel good. We had a great walk. But after lunch, the snow begins to melt very much and I had to re-trail and fall through. Everyone went down to Camp 2, tired but happy.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club Viktor Volodin:

  Today, the group of the 8000 Club "Octobrata" left at one o'clock in the morning in order to acclimatize to Camp 2 on the slopes of Lenin Peak. Next, the plan involves a radial rptation to Camp 3, with two overnight stays in the Second Camp. The weather doesn't spoil us much, it snowed again, we had to trail, even though there was a group in front of us. We arrived at the Second camp at 11 o'clock, but the bad weather continues. It was good that the camp was ready for our arrival. A large tent was set up for us, which is convenient for everyone to gather in.
