News of the Elbrus region.  Yesterday, on June 7, the group of the 7 Summits Club "Mishutki & Co." in full force climbed the Western peak of Elbrus.  The weather, as usual, let us down, but we coped. Despite the snow and wind, we climbed to the top.

 Greetings to all from Tanzania from the Amazing group!  Today we had a great, half-relaxing day. Waking up in the morning, everyone was surprised and delighted to admire the blanket of clouds below us.  And those who were not too lazy to leave their homes at night could watch the incredible starry sky. After breakfast, we went for a short scenic walk to Zebra Rocks - black and white rock massive. In four hours we gained and dropped 400 meters, which is very good for acclimatization. And we saw a lot of beautiful things, which is just good.

At the camp, we were greeted with songs and dances. The ceremony of getting to know the team was held cheerfully. They sang songs, we danced. Tomorrow we will have a big march to the assault camp.

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

Rafiki Jumbo! The group of the 7 Summits Club "Power Rangers" went through the jungle and threw off 2 km of vertical. On the descent, lunch was waiting for us and the long-awaited restoration of the water-alkaline balance with a local beer called Kilimanjaro! In the evening there will be an award ceremony and "demob" speeches on the mountain and about future plans. Good luck to everyone!

 Having covered more than 20 kilometers and 2 kilometers vertically in two days, with songs and endless conversations about everything in the world, we reached the Horombo camp. The weather is incredible, not a drop of moisture! And here we are, like the gods of Olympus, soaring above the clouds and enjoying the views for kilometers ahead. In general, all participants are in good condition. Yes, there is an influence of height and for many these sensations are new, but everyone copes perfectly. Tonight is the night at a new altitude, 3700m. And tomorrow is an easy day with a short walk.

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

 Jambo Rafiki! Today, the Power Rangers group of the 7 Summits Club ascended Uhuru Peak 5895 m, the highest point of the Kilimanjaro massif, at a very brisk pace! It took us less than 6 hours to reach the summit and 2.5 hours to descend to the assault camp. There we took a little nap and went down to the moorland zone, to the Millennium camp, at an altitude of 3800m.

Pleasant fatigue and thoughts of tomorrow's delights of civilization! We did it!!!

Good luck to everyone!

Andrey Berezin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:

News of the Elbrus region.  The Mishutki & Co group continues to acclimatize and prepare for the ascent on Elbrus.  Today (June 5th) we went up to the Pastukhov Rocks.  It was a sunny, hot day. Sunscreen was taken out every stop. As a result, everyone has only a slight blush on their skin. Tomorrow, rest and preparation for the ascent. 

 A new adventure of the 7 Summits Club in Tanzania has begun today. And not as usual with a rest after the flight, but immediately with a full immersion in a new world. We went on safari right from the plane and it turned out to be a great idea! We took a walk in nature, watched giraffes, wild boars, baboons and colobuses very closely, and buffaloes watched us and munched menacingly. And when we finally got to the hotel, we were surrounded by Maasai, dressed up in their clothes, and we participated in their national dances. Then, as usual: the bustle of checking equipment, a briefing, gifts from the 7 Summits Club and answers to all questions. And at the end of the day, a gala dinner with a surprise: an invited jazz band set the mood especially for us. So, with good impressions and anticipation, we went to rest. Tomorrow we will have the first day of trekking to the summit of the highest mountain in Africa – Kilimanjaro.

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

 Jumbo Rafiki!  The group of the 7 Summits Club "Power Rangers" started the morning with morning exercises, everyone liked the format of such an awakening! After breakfast, we had to storm the Barranco Wall, which always scares at the first sight of it. But coming closer, everything is not so scary and quite passable. Then we crossed two valleys, on the slopes of which you could see the effects of a large fire. It occurred as a result of careless handling of fire. After that, there is now a categorical ban on tourists in the National Park for the presence of any fire!

By lunchtime we were already at Karanga camp 4030m. After eating, we went for a walk a little up the hill to sleep better! And at the dinner, Anatoly was congratulated on his Birthday!

Now we are resting and preparing for the final throw - going to the assault camp and climbing!

Good luck to everyone!

News of the Elbrus region. The new group of the 7 Summits Club on Elbrus today (June 3) spent an active day in the vicinity of Mount Cheget.  We walked through the forest, went to the Ai cafe with a view of the magnificent Elbrus.  In the afternoon, we were busy selecting the necessary equipment at the rental point.

Jumbo Rafiki! News of the 7 Summits Club "Power Rangers" group. Today we passed the most difficult day of trekking, climbing the Lava Tower 4640m and descending to the Barranco wall 3900m. The height makes itself felt, there are signs of a headache, but everything is within normal limits! A wonderful lunch, watermelons for dessert, the stunning valley of senecia (grass palms) on the descent, and the view of the Barranco wall, where we have to climb tomorrow - ALL this filled the brain, even to the stingy male tears.  And the availability of free Wi-Fi in the camp was completely amazing... Now it's dinner and a well-deserved rest!

Good luck to everyone!

News of the Elbrus region. The group "Delicate" climbed the Western peak of Elbrus on May 31. In difficult weather conditions, we were able to make this ascent! The weather did not favor us on this last day of spring. There was a wind at the top, which did not even allow us to stand on the top. But we did it anyway!

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

Jambo Rafiki! Our group, which took the name "Power Rangers", today went on the Machame route or "Whiskey Route"! All day we walked in the equatorial jungle and admired the exotic vegetation. And when we arrived at the Machame camp at an altitude of 2900m, we discovered the main peak of Kibo, Uhuru peak 5895m!
Our path along the "southern circumnavigation" leads exactly there! Everyone feels great, and so does their appetite. Good luck to everyone!

Olga Rumyantseva, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Papua New Guinea:

On the last day of the trip to Papua New Guinea, the Sun Shine group visited three villages, where we looked at various outfits and dances of the inhabitants of Papua.

Of course, none of them walk like that now, but they preserve traditions, passing on legends and related dances from generation to generation.

And in the evening, all the climbers on Giluwe received well-deserved awards - diplomas and medals.
