The guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from the Elbrus region:

Yesterday the band members arrived at the hotel, and today we went to the slopes of Cheget, where we began to acclimatize. Our path today ran first through the forest, then the ascent took place in the area of the famous Alpine meadows.  After a short rest in the Ai cafe, we went down to the hotel, had lunch, and went to the rental point for the missing equipment.  Tomorrow we are going up to the shelter, where we will live for a few days and prepare for the ascent. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Alexander Dorojukov.

Three teams of the 7 Summits Club have climbed the Western Peak of Elbrus! The weather conditions were difficult, but the participants and guides went to the end and reached the top.  The guides of the 7 Summits Club were Andrey Berezin, Alexander Dorojukov and Nikita Slotin, worked with these groups.

This week, three groups of the 7 Summits Club are working on the Climbing Elbrus program at once. After acclimatization rotation to Mount Cheget, they moved to the slopes of Elbrus. Yesterday there was a day of training in climbing in the snow and self-arrest with the help of ice axes. Today there was the final acclimatization rotation to the Pastukhov Rocks at a height of about 4800 meters.  Guides Andrey Berezin, Alexander Dorojukov and Nikita Slotin work with groups. Tomorrow is everyone's day of rest and then the summit assault.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, director of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings to all (already farewell) from the Elbrus region from our group! Today we had a departure day. We really didn't want to leave these wonderful places. Since the departure was already scheduled for noon, we decided to have time to do something else interesting. We took ATVs and rushed to the waterfall "Maiden Braids". We plunged into its cool streams and made a wish to come back here again - to go to the Eastern Peak from the North and go down to the South!

We hope to return here in a year, during which we need to have time to climb a couple more volcanoes under the Seven Volcanoes project!

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

Hello everyone!  Our super fast group "Cheetahs of Raytek", climbed the Western peak of Elbrus. The ascent took place in good weather and in a good mood.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from the Elbrus region:

News of the Elbrus region from the group "Literary Circle". In difficult weather conditions, having made an attempt a day earlier, our group climbed on the top of Elbrus. A strong gusty wind at the summit could not prevent us from reaching our goal, namely the highest point in Europe, the Western peak of Elbrus.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, director of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from the Elbrus region:

Our group today successfully climbed the Western Peak of Elbrus! The weather conditions were extremely severe - a blizzard, strong wind. We had to crawl to the top almost on all fours - it was blowing away. We're already down there now and are preparing for the solemn receipt of well-deserved diplomas and medals for the ascent.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, director of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings to all from our group from the Elbrus region!  Today we had an incredibly eventful day: In the morning we went for a jog, on the way we met the legendary climber for all 14 eight-thousand-meters without additional oxygen - Maksut Zhumaev. Then we did exercises, had breakfast and went to Azau. Half an hour later we were already at 3850 - we put on the crampons and ran to the Pastukhov Rocks. That is, of course, we went, but at a good fighting pace. They accelerated so much that they even climbed higher than the rocks!

On the descent, we managed to have lunch with Zuli (our dream) and returned to the hotel to rest before tomorrow's ascent to the assault. In the evening we decided to go fishing to calm our nerves before the upcoming ascent to the highest peak in Europe.

 Two groups with guides Andrey Berezin and Alexander Dorojukov climbed today to the Pastukhov Rocks.  The weather was clear and sunny. The route melted a lot, mountain streams were often encountered on the way. After sitting at 4650 m, all participants and guides descended to the refuge. Tomorrow, according to the plan, rest and preparation for the ascent.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, director of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings to all from the slopes of Elbrus!  Today we learned self-arrest with ice axes, remembered walking in crampons and on the fixed ropes. Wet, but satisfied, the participants went down to the hotel on the Cheget glade. However, the main impression of the day was the green borscht from the cook Zulia. We want more and will go tomorrow for more (after the Pastukhov Rocks).

Lyudmila Korobeshko, director of the 7 Summits Club and the group's guide, reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings to all from the new group on Elbrus! The group is actually old, even seasoned - almost this composition has already gone to Kilimanjaro, Demavend and Orizaba. Now we are going to Elbrus. Today we climbed to the top of Mount Cheget and unfurled the flag there!

Two groups of the 7 Summits Club started their acclimatization program on the slopes of Mount Cheget today.   Guides Andrey Berezin and Alexander Dorojukov.  The weather was great, it was a little hot.  Beauty, mountains, landscapes. The participants of the groups climbed first along the path in the forest, then went out into the zone of alpine meadows. They finished the climb near the Ai cafe. Tomorrow it is planned to go to the slopes of Elbrus.

News of the Elbrus region from the group "Gift of Fate". Today, in preparation for the ascent, we visited the Pastukhov Rocks, where we spent some time for acclimatization and took some photos. Tomorrow we will rest and prepare for the ascent on Elbrus.

A Guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from the Elbrus region:

News of the Elbrus region from a new group called "The Gift of Fate". The group arrived in the Elbrus region yesterday, and began to acclimatize. Today we walked along a beautiful forest path to the Ai cafe on Cheget Mountain. It rained all night, so the whole forest was wet and damp. At the same time, when the sun came out in the morning, there was no "steam room". After going up to the Ai cafe, we ordered hychins and chebureks, which we had a snack with, acclimatizing along the way. The return journey took place along a technical road, which was laid for the maintenance of the cable car. Tomorrow we are going up to the refuge National Park, where we will continue preparing for the ascent.

News of the Elbrus region.  The group of the 7 Summits Club climbed on the Western Peak of Mount Elbrus. The forecast for the ascent did not come true in our favor, the promised wind rose only closer to lunch, when we were already packing things at the refuger. And when descending on the cable car, we got caught in the rain and in a giant queue for the cable car, because of a thunderstorm, the cable car did not work. This was the end of our non-standard adventures. We returned to the hotel, where in the evening we congratulated all the participants on their successful ascent. The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Dmitry Semenov.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Dorojukov reports from the Elbrus region:

Greetings from the Elbrus region, from the Vympel group!   We did it! Today, part of our group stood at the top. It's a pity not all, but the mountains are standing, and they will stand, and you can't return your health. Everyone reached their height, and everyone was satisfied with their achievement.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Andrey Berezin reports from the Elbrus region:

Our group continues acclimatization and preparation for the ascent on Elbrus. Today, in the preparation plans, we made an ascent to the Pastukhov Rocks. Since everything is melting a lot now, the relief of the slope is changing a lot, there are streams and rivulets on the way.  But all this is only up to 4400 meters, above, to the Pastukhov rocks, the slope has hardly changed. After two hours of climbing, the weather began to deteriorate and then all the warm clothes that we took with us to the exit came in handy: down jackets, mittens, and ski masks. After spending about an hour at an altitude of 4500 meters, we took a few photos, after which we went to the refuge, where a delicious lunch was waiting for us.  Tomorrow we rest and prepare for the ascent.  The guides of the group are Andrey Berezin and Dmitry Semenov.
