Hi, Seven Summits! It is Artem Rostovtsev from Kilimanjaro slopes. We have again a strong north wind from the equator today. We went out at night on the ascent to the "roof of Africa", and at 7-40 a.m. we were at the top. Unfortunately, one participant was forced to withdraw yesterday. We sent him down (he is already at the hotel in Moshi). Therefore, on top there were only three people and I  form the team of the Seven Summits Club….

Hello, Seven Summits! This is Artem Rostovtsev, from Gillmans point, Kilimanjaro. Gillmans point is the point on the crater, where about half of the climbers ends up with a climb on the mountain. We're not finished. Today we went further, the whole team reached Stella point. Well, after that opinion was divided and half went to the top.  And half were waiting for them below. We met at the Gillmans point…

Dmitry Kasyanov climbed on the highest summit of Africa with assistance of the 7 Summits Club along Marangu's route. Returning home, he sent us some interesting photos.

 "My comment is simple. It is excellent opportunity to change cardinally ambience - other continent, the southern hemisphere, new stars in the sky, people with other skin color, this left-hand traffic on roads, and the wild tremendous nature! It is Tanzania which can be beheld from height of clouds, standing on the highest peak of Africa, Kilimanjaro! It is that you will never forget!"
