Kilimanjaro(5895) - Page 4

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Jambo Rafiki! Hooray, the summit! The 7 Summits Club "White Masai" group has successfully climbed Uhuru Peak 5895m! For tactical reasons, we divided the team into two subgroups - standard and faster. As a result, both groups quickly climbed to the summit, all together we were there already at 6-50 in the morning!

All participants are great! For many, Kilimanjaro was the first mountain. But I would especially like to note the achievement of the youngest member of our group - Alexander. In addition to everything else, he descended with a local guide into the crater of Kilimanjaro, giving himself an additional birthday present!

Tomorrow we will already be in civilization. We did it!!! Good luck to everyone!

The 7 Summits Club guide Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Jambo Rafiki! The 7 Summits Club "White Masai" group has moved to the Kosovo assault camp at an altitude of 4800 meters. Everything is fine, we are getting ready. Tonight we will climb! Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Good luck to everyone!

The 7 Summits Club guide Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Jambo Rafiki! The 7 Summits Club "White Masai" group started the morning with traditional exercises. After breakfast, we had to storm the Barranco Wall, which always scares you at first glance! However, everyone copes with it, which is what we did. The photos and videos show some details.

Then we crossed two valleys under the next daily rain that started and arrived at the Karanga camp at an altitude of 4030 meters by lunchtime. From here, simply stunning views of Kilimanjaro open up!

For dinner, again borscht (!) and spaghetti... After dinner, we rested and prepared for the final push - going to the assault camp and climbing!

Good luck to everyone!

01.02 Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

Jambo Rafiki! The 7 Summits Club "White Masai" group today passed the most difficult part of the trek, the ascent to Lava Tower 4640m and the descent to the Barranco wall to the camp at an altitude of 3900m. Unfortunately, one of the participants caught a bad cold on the 1st day during the rain and today it was decided to stop the ascent for him.

The altitude makes itself felt, there are signs of a headache in other participants, but everything is within normal limits. On the route, a wonderful lunch awaited us at an altitude of 4640 m, with watermelons for dessert. Then we passed through a stunning valley of senecias (grass palms) on the descent, and admired the view of the Barranco wall, which we will climb tomorrow. ALL of this is impressive! At sunset, we first saw the main summit of Kibo, Uhuru Peak 5895m! Our route on the southern circumnavigation is exactly there! Now dinner and a well-deserved rest! Good luck to everyone!

31.01 Kilimanjaro, Tanzania. Jambo Rafiki! The 7 Summits Club "White Masai" group today passed through the heather thickets to the Western side of Mount Kilimanjaro, climbed to the Shira plateau in Camp 2 at an altitude of 3800 meters. The weather has not been pampering for the second day - every now and then it rains. The group members are pleasantly surprised by our service and cuisine! Today we had real borscht for lunch. In general, everything is fine, everything is going according to plan, appetite and other indicators are normal.

Good luck to everyone!

Jambo Rafiki! Hooray, there is the summit!  Yesterday, the 7 Summits Club group "Tribe-Ki" successfully climbed Uhuru Peak 5895m! The highest volcano and the highest mountain of Africa Kilimanjaro is ours!

For tactical reasons, we divided the team into two subgroups - standard and faster. We started from the assault camp Kosovo (4800) at 01:00 and at 02:00.

Yesterday, there were so many people who wanted to climb the summit that in order not to freeze in queues on the trail, we had to go around the slope. Before dawn it was quite windy and cold, but very beautiful - a simply stunning view of the Mawenzi volcano opened up.

The mountain did not seem easy to any of the participants. One subgroup reached the summit in 6 hours, the second in 8. All this time Kilimanjaro showed us its character. It was quite cold and windy at the summit - such is Africa!

All participants are great! For many, Kilimanjaro was the first mountain, but I would especially like to note the achievement of the youngest member of our group - Richard. It was not easy for him, but he reached a height of 5200! We are proud and congratulate him!

After the summit, we went down to the Kosovo camp, rested a little and began the descent 1000 m lower to the Millennium camp. Tomorrow we will already be in civilization.

We did it!!! Good luck to everyone!

Jambo Rafiki! Today the "Plemia-Ki"  group of the 7 Summits Club had the most difficult day of trekking: ascent to Lava Tower 4640 m and descent to the Barranco wall 3900 m. The altitude makes itself felt, there are signs of a headache, but everything is within normal limits.

A wonderful lunch, watermelons for dessert, a stunning valley of senecias (grass palms) on the descent, and a view of the Barranco wall, which we will climb tomorrow. ALL of this overwhelmed the brain ... Now dinner and a well-deserved rest! Good luck to everyone!

The whole group is pleasantly surprised by our service! Here we live in large comfortable tents, there is a large dining tent, toilets and even a shower! At sunset, we saw the main summit of Kibo, Uhuru Peak 5895 m! Our route along the southern circumnavigation is exactly there!

Everyone is feeling great, now we will have dinner and discuss the plan for tomorrow.

Good luck to everyone!

Jambo Rafiki! Friends, greetings to everyone from Tanzania!

The new group (the name is still being discussed) of the 7 Summits Club flew to the foot of Kilimanjaro today to trek and climb the Machame route!

The day flew by with organizational issues, checking equipment and a little relaxation in the park of the cozy hotel "Aishe Machame"! Here turtles crawl on the lawns, toucans fly overhead, monkeys climb trees. And early in the morning, having climbed to the roof, you can see the summit of Kilimanjaro - beauty!

 In the evening we watched the "Masai show" - a performance of the nomadic people of Tanzania and Kenya. Over dinner we got to know each other better. Each participant told about himself, and then decided on plans for tomorrow.

Tomorrow we start at the entrance to the national park and set out on the route!

The 7 Summits Club guide Boris Egorov sends from Tanzania:

Hello to everyone from Africa! Yesterday, Artem Gurshteyn and I admired the views from the summit of Kilimanjaro at dawn. And that same day, we went down to the gate and arrived at the hotel. It's incredible, but we climbed the mountain in three days! And that's more than 80 km! On the last day, we walked about 40 km, gained one kilometer vertically and lost four. This time, we were finally lucky with the weather. There was a clear sky and no wind.

Boris Egorov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

Meanwhile, Artem and I, having covered half the world in four planes, burst onto the slopes of Kilimanjaro. Only yesterday we flew to Tanzania from Papua New Guinea, and today we have already reached the Horombo camp. That is, we have gained almost two kilometers vertically in 6.5 hours. Along the way, we took breaks to take pictures of blue monkeys and some animals like tree gophers.

The mood is cheerful, tomorrow we are going to the assault camp.

The 7 Summits Club group thanked the local team at the Horombo Refuge for their invaluable help throughout the program and during the ascent. As usual, we danced and sang together, and took photos. Then there was a descent through the humid jungle and the long-awaited comfortable hotel. In the evening, a ceremonial event was held to present certificates, medals and mutual gratitude. As usual, the party was held in a warm and friendly atmosphere. Smiles, laughter, handshakes and hugs, and even dancing, despite the fatigue!

 We join in congratulating Alexander Abramov - 3 highest volcanoes of the continents in 2 weeks! Keep it up!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin: 11/5-6/2024. Jambo Rafiki!

There was no connection, a hundred thousand sorry! During these two days, the "Chameleons" group of the 7 Summits Club climbed to the Kibo assault camp at 4730 m. On the way there, we had lunch in a beautiful gazebo located in the saddle between Mount Mawenzi at 5145 m and the main summit of the Kilimanjaro massif, Uhuru Peak at 5895 m.

On the night of 6.11, we set out to assault in two groups, an hour apart, and by 8.00 we reunited on the crater in the Gilmans point area at 5685 m.

And by 10 am, our entire friendly team stood at the highest point of Africa, Uhuru Peak at 5895 m in the Kilimanjaro massif! Unfortunately, one girl, due to health reasons, turned back from a height above 5000 m. By evening, tired but happy, we descended to the Horombo camp at 3720 m, where a varied and delicious dinner awaited us.

Happy everyone! Today we go down to the Marangu gate and leave for our favorite hotel Aishe Machame.

Good luck to everyone!

Your super-guides Alexander Abramov and Evgeny Fedyunin.

The 7 Summits Club group "Chameleons" (guide Evgeny Fedyunin) and Alexander Abramov's group made a successful joint ascent on the summit of Kilimanjaro. Ten participants and guides reached the highest point of the Uhuru Peak massif at 10 a.m. local time.

For Alexander Abramov, this is the third mountain of the "7 Volcanoes in 77 Days" project. The first was Elbrus on October 25. Three volcanoes in 13 days it is a good pace!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin:

03.11. Jambo Rafiki! The "Chameleons" group of the 7 Summits Club, today passed through the heather thickets of moorland along the eastern slope of Mount Kilimanjaro and climbed to the Horombo camp at 3720m. Almost simultaneously, our group was caught up here by Alexander Abramov, who is doing the "7 volcanoes in 77 days" project in parallel with our program. He has just climbed the 2nd peak of the project – Damavand, and now we are going to Kili together!

The altitude is making itself felt a little, but everyone is feeling well, and so is their appetite. Good luck to everyone!

The president of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from Tanzania:

Kilimanjaro. Our team of the project "7 volcanoes in 77 days" climbed to the Horombo camp 3800 m. The weather is very kind for us so far. There is no rain. There is no wind.

The camp is very comfortable. We live in small houses on beds. The food is very tasty. The team is in a great mood. Today we will watch a film about Everest, which Ilya Gladkikh shot in the spring during our spring expedition.

Today our team does nothing but dance and sing. I love this atmosphere on Kilimanjaro. Thanks to our local team, who make our ascent a holiday.
