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!

Hola! The "Health for" group continues to prepare for the ascent of Aconcagua. Yesterday, for the purpose of acclimatization, we climbed to an altitude of 5000 meters, to an overnight camp called Plaza Canada. The weather was sunny, but in some places the wind reminded us that Aconcagua is a very windy mountain. The necessary set of wind protection and warm clothes helped us reach the desired altitude.

Today we have a day of rest and a medical check. Tomorrow we leave for the final acclimatization rotation, we will spend the night on Nido de Condores. The group guides are Andrey Berezin and Viktor Volodin.

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!
