The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Tanzania!  It's only been a couple of days since climbing Kilimanjaro, and now a new group has gathered at the foot of this mountain to begin their journey to the top.

This time our way will take the Marangu route - the most comfortable route to Kilimanjaro. But in order not to relax too much, the weather sent us rain. Almost all the way to the first hut we walked either in the drizzling rain, or through the humid jungle, shrouded in fog. However, this did not upset us much.

While our group is still choosing a name for itself, it is getting used to new conditions. For most of the group, this ascent is the first mountain experience. So many amazing discoveries are waiting for us.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from Turkey:

Ararat is in touch! It's been a long day. We went up to the assault camp, spent the night there, and at two o'clock in the morning went out to climb. We had the safest possible team: two guides and two participants. As a result, having split up, everyone reached the top at their own pace. Then there was a descent to the assault camp, where we rested a little, packed up and went to the base camp. Tonight we will spend the night at the base camp.

 The beginning of August is a hot period on Elbrus. It so happened that four groups of the 7 Summits Club met at once on the slopes of Elbrus. Our guides Andrey Berezin, Alexander Dorojukov, Dmitry Semenov and Natalia Marinkevich work with them. The participants of the groups make acclimatization rotations, train in the technique of climbing on snow slopes, prepare for the assault of the summit.

Wonderful news from the group "Four Comrades" under the leadership of Karina Mezova. Yesterday, August 2, the group in full force climbed the Eastern peak of Elbrus, 5621 m. Well done! Congratulations to all participants and guides!  Today the group descends to Emmanuel's Glade.

The second group of "Deflated Cheeks" led by Alexander Avtomonov safely crossed from north to south today. Details of the ascent will be later.
