Hello everyone from Africa! We are moving briskly towards our goal. Today we reached the Lava Tover camp, having gained an altitude of 4600m, and went down to the Baranko camp. The condition of the group is excellent.  It's been cloudy all day today, but no precipitation is already good. We continue our route and enjoy the beauty of African nature.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Pakistan:

Today our team moved to the first high-altitude camp of the Khosar Gang Mountain, at an altitude of 4850 meters.  We climbed the rocks here at a pretty good pace. There were 10 porters with us. It looked like these guys were carrying more than their own weight. The camp is located on the ridge. There's nowhere to hide. It is necessary to leave the tents carefully, because there are cliffs on both sides.  The weather is great!

Tomorrow there will be an even more difficult climb to the Camp 2.

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

Namaste from Nepal! Today our group "From Above is better " spent the day in Namche Bazaar.  We walked to the Everest View Japanese Hotel.  The weather was not on our side, it was raining in the morning, and we could not admire the view of Mount Everest. Tomorrow we are going to Tengboche. Every day we are getting closer to the Everest base camp.

P.S. also today we visited the museum dedicated to Everest.

As a result, half the roads alternately disappeared behind the ridge. We reached at last the Base camp. No bacon was served to us. Pakistan however. But the dinner was a success. There were quails, rabbit fillet marinated in white wine and rice with mushroom sauce and foie gras.  Soon we are going to sleep in our spacious insulated tents. Tomorrow morning - team forward!

 President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Pakistan: The team "Welcome to Pakistan" from Pakistan. It is the best country. This morning, waking up in tents on the Diosai plateau, our team, tired after successfully climbing to the Highest point of Mount Shatun 5400m, was surprised to find tents littered with snow. Quickly plunging into the jeeps, we rushed down to the district center of Skardu - in the heat.

 A short road led us to paradise. We went to the Cold Desert, a unique place where the World Rally Cup takes place. These are sand dunes on which you can drive on all types of equipment. Beauty!!! In the evening we said goodbye to half of the team that finishes the trip. The second part of the team starts a new ascent of the technically difficult summit Hosar Ganga (6200m) tomorrow. There may not be a connection for 4 days.

We were walking through a pine forest surrounded by rocky mountains and mountain streams.   And by nightfall we reached the world-famous Fairy Meadow place - fantastic meadows. Here we settled in nice wooden houses.

News of the project 8000.guide, expedition on Manaslu. The situation with rescue work has been resolved for the better since morning. The  helicopter arrived, with which communication was lost yesterday. He landed in the gap in the area of 5500m and spent the night there.

The climb to high-altitude camps is scheduled for the following days.  The summit assault is planned for September 30.

We wish our team good weather and good luck!

News of the Project 8000.guide. This morning, on the slopes of Manaslu, just below Camp 4, an avalanche hit a group of Sherpas who were lifting loads to the assault camp.  Information about passing rescue is updated all the time, you can follow on the website https://thehimalayantimes.com . According to reports, 12 people were injured, some of them seriously, or even in critical condition.  Some of them have already been taken to hospitals.  Rescue operations are complicated by bad weather.

The group of the 7 Summits Club is in full force at the base camp, in complete safety.  The team planned to start climbing tomorrow. However, this exit probably will not take place. First you need to wait for the end of the rescue work and assess the real state of the route. Today is a hard day at Manaslu. First came the message that when descending from the top, the famous American athlete Hilaree Nelson fell into a crevasse and probably died, then the avalanche.
