Kilimanjaro 2017

Lyudmila Korobeshko: The first day of the ascent was not easy. 30 minutes after the beginning of the path we were in a terrible downpour. We were soaked to the skin. For 5 hours we sailed in the 3000, gaining 1,200 meters in height to the first camp. Now we relax, drink whiskey, check the oxygen and pulse. Pulse has increased from the indescribable beauty of the surrounding mountains and the night sky ...

Lyudmila Korobeshko: Today we begin the expedition 7 Summits Club on the highest point in Africa - Kilimanjaro. The selected route - Machame, one of the most picturesque. Expedition Guides vice president of the Mountaineering Federation of Russia, Ivan Dusharin and director of the 7 Summits Club Lyudmila Korobeshko are ready for the meeting members of the expedition.

3 groups of the 7 summits Club are now in the Kilimanjaro region. The first group (Leonid Pak) has made a successful ascent earlier than planned and went down. They then go on Safari.

 The second group – it is Wil Fakhretdinov, solo or single program with a local team of guide, cook and three porters.

 A large group of 11 people (from Volgograd) follows the route 2 days after Wil..

 Today the next group on Kilimanjaro starts. Members of the expedition will  climb the summit with the guides from the 7 summits Club  Ludmila Korobeshko and Ivan Dusharin

 At the same period, a group of 7 people starts for  the program “Climbing Mount Kenya”.

 And despite the fact that weather forecasts do not look very optimistic, in reality it is not so bad. We hope that all our climbers will get lucky and all will end well.

February - it is not only the third month of winter with snowfalls, thaws, the constant change of temperatures and gloomy days, but also the end of the summer, as well as the best time to climb the mountain peaks near the equator and in the Southern Hemisphere!

Now there is the busy season of climbing for Kilimanjaro, Kenya, Orizaba in Mexico, Chimborazo in Ecuador.

In this February  there will be around 30 PAX from the 7 Summits Club to climb Kilimanjaro in six different groups. You can still join one of our groups right now, do not delay your plans for later.

Many our clients have already managed to climb Mount Kilimanjaro this year and send their photos and reports. Following photos sent to us by Anton Pavlov, who just has returned home after a successful ascent.

The other climbers are already flying in the direction of Tanzania, or are packing their backpacks.

Group (all members) reached the summit of Kilimanjaro. All went down, everyone is healthy and happy!
