Greetings to all from the first camp of Lenin Peak! Today, the group made an acclimatization rotation to the peak of Yukhin 5100. We caught the Internet at the top, and then learned how to climb down the snow-covered scree! The day passed productively. Everything is the same in the camp, the Internet barely smells, but at least the food is delicious! Tomorrow we have an important day, ice training!

Tomorrow we will try to catch the weather before lunch and go to the crest of Petrovsky Peak for acclimatization.

Greetings to all from the slightly tired but satisfied group from the first camp of Lenin Peak! Yesterday we climbed to the peak of Razdelnaya 6140 m and for better acclimatization spent a night in the third camp, while spending the most wonderful sunset in my mountain memory! Emotions were off the scale even for me!!! Today we went down to the first camp, having overcome the very 100 meters of fixed ropes down, feeling like real climbers who had ice piton pulled out! Everyone is healthy, happy, we are starting the main part of the program - a two-day rest. While everything is going according to plan, the weather is pleasing, we are basking in the sun! Tomorrow we are planning an easy weekend walk! It's July 18 and we don't know what's going on in the world, how good it is! All the best, follow the news!

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Nikita Slotin from the slopes of Lenin Peak:

Hello everyone from the height of 5700!  Yesterday our group went up to the Second camp! At first there was a difficult section of the 100-meter fixed ropes, where the participants had to exert all their strength. Then, on the "Frying Pan", we walked hard in the heat and got to the camp for lunch! We were greeted by a comfortable camp, with a large dome tent as a dining room. Now we are already moving to the peak of Razdelnaya! The strongest participants are ahead, the girls and I are having fun slowly, dancing, going up, admiring the butterflies flying by.

Nikita Slotin, guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:
Greetings to all from the camp-1 Lenin Peak! Today we conducted an important part of the program, namely ice training! We walked with ropes on the glacier, learned how to overcome cracks, climb on fixed ropes with jumars and descend on a "glass". The weather is sunny. Tomorrow we plan to go to the second camp.

Greetings from the group "All on 215" from the Lenin Peak base camp! Today there was a sunny but extremely windy day! During a walk to the crest of Petrovsky Peak, everyone was blown away! But this did not prevent us from climbing to a height of 4018 meters, admiring the still surviving hanging glaciers and taking beautiful photos. For tomorrow, the Internet does not draw rosy weather, but we will move to the first camp! Soon there will be no normal communication...

Nikita Slotin, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Kyrgyzstan:

Greetings from the Lenin Peak base camp from the group "All on 215"!  We are here and we are happy!  Along the way, we admired marmots carrying their mortal carcasses into their burrows... We saw the northern slope of the mountain, were pleasantly stunned by the views and went to dinner.  We are well placed in comfortable large tents, picked up the missing equipment and smoothly depart... Not what you thought, let's go to rest! It's windy in the camp. Tomorrow, according to the plan, an acclimatization rotation to the crest of Petrovsky Peak at 4000.

Tomorrow we are scheduled to move to the base camp at an altitude of 3600 meters.

Vladimir Kotlyar, guide of the 7 Summits Club, from Kyrgyzstan:  Hello everyone! Yesterday, on August 17, our group climbed on the summit of Lenin Peak. 12 participants and 6 guides. We managed to catch the weather window and luck by the tail on the very last day of our program. Everyone fought with dignity and deserved this difficult victory!

With this ascent, I finish the summer season of high mountains. Thanks to everyone who was there,  guides, participants, beloved waiting in the camp from the ascent, cooks and camp workers! It was a cool season and cool, emotional climbs! I hug everyone tightly! See you soon!

Hello everyone, Salam and Aloha! The group of guides Nikita Slotin and Vladimir Kotlyar continues to actively prepare for the ascent on Lenin Peak. Yesterday we went to another location with natural castles.

And, at the same time, on the top of an unnamed hill, we celebrated the birthday of our participant Anya.

Aloha, friends! The team of the 7 Summits Club on Lenin Peak continues to prepare for the summit assault. More precisely, we are resting now. But, as you remember, we have a rule – if it's a rest, then it's active, if it's a holiday, then it's sports. Therefore, after breakfast, we went for a walk to the "castles" created not by man, but by nature itself.

Aloha, the 7 Summits Club! Our group "Knights of the rectangular table" ascended the peak of Razdelnaya for the purpose of acclimatization. We spent the night twice in Camp-2 and now we have gone down to the first camp to rest before trying to storm the summit.

Aloha, 7 Summits! A group with guides Nikita Slotin and Vladimir Kotlyar successfully reached the first camp under Lenin Peak yesterday. And today we climbed the peak of Yukhin (height 5100 meters). Acclimatization rotation continues…

Nikita Slotin, guide of the 7 Summits Club from the Pamirs: Greetings to all from the group "Knights of the rectangular table" from the first camp on 4400! All the participants are in good shape, we reached the camp just in 4: 30 hours, everyone feels great. The weather was pleasant, the sun was shining and allowed us to admire the surrounding beauty of the nature of the Pamir snow-capped mountains. But it's snowing now! The mountains are the best way to overwinter the summer ... Tomorrow we are planning an acclimatization climb on the peak of Yukhin.
