Hello 7 Summits! The slope of Kilimanjaro is in charge. Yesterday, the plan was almost completely fulfilled. It's a pity that now they don't let us climb the Lawa Tower itself, we would have climbed there for a better view. Now we are finishing our morning coffee and looking at the Barranco Wall. In an hour, we will storm it on the way to the next camp. The devices show that the condition of all our participants is satisfactory, which is confirmed by the whole team. We are walking moderately smoothly, in a friendly manner, we are coping with the height.

Three groups of the 7 Summits Club climbed Pastukhov Rocks today. The weather was gorgeous, wonderful views of the mountains of the Main Caucasus Range opened up. At this point, all three groups have completed their acclimatization cycle. Tomorrow is a day of rest and at night we will storm the summit of Elbrus.
