Rumyantseva Olya

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Nepal:

Greetings to all from Kathmandu, from the Beautiful group! Early yesterday morning we made a rapid jump from Khare to Kathmandu. It's great that we didn't have to walk for three days and then wait for the plane in Lukla. Instead, we flew by helicopter from Khare to Lukla, and then immediately to Kathmandu.  During the flight from Khare to Lukla, our pilot was Simone Moro himself, so a regular flight became an unforgettable attraction with beautiful views. In the evening, a farewell dinner was held in Kathmandu, where all participants of the ascent received certificates and commemorative medals.

 The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Nepal:

Today, the “Beautiful” group in full force made the ascent on Mera Peak. It wasn't easy, but we managed. On the way to the top, we admired Everest, Lhotse, Makalu and other beautiful mountains.  And by lunchtime we went down to Khare.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Nepal:

Greetings to all from the upper camp of Mera Peak, where a Beautiful group came today!  We walked along the already familiar path to the first camp, then put on our crampons and continued our journey. In total, we climbed 900 meters. Now we are sitting in the camp, preparing to go out at night to climb the summit.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Nepal:

 Greetings to all from the Beautiful group from Khare! Today we climbed to the first camp, which is located at an altitude of 5200 meters. Since it's only an hour and a half to walk from the village, we decided to stay overnight in Khare to have a good rest before climbing. 

We spent the rest of the day checking equipment, resting and getting ready to go.

Tomorrow morning we will go to the upper camp at an altitude of 5800 meters, from where we will climb the summit at night.

Экскурсовод Клуба 7 Вершин Ольга Румянцева сообщает из Непала:

Всем привет от самой красивой группы на Пике Мера! Мы провели сегодняшний день в Кхаре. Рано утром все арендовали недостающее снаряжение, после чего мы отправились на ближайшую возвышенность, чтобы научиться подниматься и спускаться по перилам с помощью альпинистского снаряжения. Скорее всего, на восхождении он нам не пригодится. Но, как говорится, учиться всегда полезно. 

Потом мы вспомнили, как ставить кошки на обувь. После этого техническая часть подготовки считалась завершенной. После обеда погода почему-то испортилась. Пошел снег, стало очень холодно. Так мы провели день, разговаривая за чашками кофе.

 The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Nepal:

 Hello to all from the Beautiful group! Today we have climbed 700 meters and reached the last point of civilization on our way - the village of Khare, which is located at an altitude of 4900.

From here our ascent to Mera Peak will begin. We made today's journey in less than four hours, taking into account a slight deviation from the route to a very beautiful lake, and a tea party with a view of Mera Peak.

While drinking tea, a huge avalanche descended from the wall. From a distance, it looked very grand and beautiful. In Khare, we did not stop there, and after lunch we climbed another 250 meters to a height of 5150 for better acclimatization.

Everyone is cheerful and ready to move on.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Nepal:

Hello everyone from Nepal from the Beautiful group! Today we had the simplest and most pleasant day. Just some four hours of smooth ascent. So smooth that when we walked for about an hour and gained almost 300 meters out of 700 expected, I was asked: "Have we gained at least some?" Here, of course, good acclimatization also affects. So good that at an altitude of more than 4000 meters, instead of sweating tiredly, everyone goes and constantly chatter.

Today our path was not too diverse. From a height of 3500 we climbed along the river to a height of 4300 meters to the village of Tagnak.

But was he any less handsome for that? Firstly, the river itself with incredibly blue water and mini waterfalls.  Secondly, very soon after we started walking, a pyramid of a very beautiful mountain loomed in front of us. This mountain with a height of almost 6000 meters (the name will not tell you anything, and it constantly flies out of my head) is sacred. Climbing it is prohibited.  Thirdly, there was a small monastery on our way, inscribed in an overhanging stone. 

By lunchtime we came to Tagnak and after a little rest, we went to wander around the village in search of beauty. The beauty was hidden by clouds. But never mind, we are not just a band ourselves, but a Beautiful one.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal from the group "Beautiful"! Today we moved from winter to spring. We woke up at an altitude of 4200 in the snow and began to descend towards the village of Kothe.  As we descended, the winter landscape changed to spring one.  There was less and less snow, more and more trees. Soon leaves appeared on them, and then we descended into a fabulous forest with trees covered with thick moss, paths strewn with flowers and blooming rhododendrons.  It can't be said that it was an easy way, but it was beautiful.

And most importantly, today we saw the purpose of our trip - Mera peak, in all its glory.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Nepal:

Greetings from Nepal from the Beautiful group! Today, on Cosmonautics Day, we made a space crossing over the Zatvra La Pass. We climbed to a height of 4650 meters. We walked almost the whole way through the snow. There is a lot of it this year. We had to climb and make efforts. But we managed.

Eight hours later we went down to Tuli Kharka and checked into a beautiful lodge. It was a very long and difficult day.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Nepal:

Hello everyone from Nepal! Today our “Beautiful” group has a day of acclimatization and rest. The first night at an altitude of 3500 passed perfectly. Especially considering that we had very little sleep the night before. But now, finally, everyone has slept and rested.

After breakfast, we took a short walk, gaining another 400 meters in height. We looked at the beautiful mountains, basked in the sun and returned to the camp to rest before lunch. After all, tomorrow we will have a new difficult crossing of the pass.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Nepal:

Hello everyone from Nepal from the group Beautiful! Today was a difficult day for us. More precisely, it was night. Since the flights to Lukla were transferred from Kathmandu to another airport, at two o'clock in the morning we had to leave the hotel and go on an adventure. Four hours on a broken mountain road, and now small planes take us to Lukla to the beginning of the route.  After a small snack in Lukla, we went on a route towards Mera Peak.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Tanzania! Our group of Chronic climbers has completed its journey. Yesterday we woke up in a camp at an altitude of 3800 meters in almost native tents. And after the final breakfast and the farewell ceremony with the team, we walked 12 kilometers through an incredibly beautiful forest and came to the gates of the national park, where a festive lunch was waiting for us.

And although it was a little sad that it was over, the hot shower was much more pleasing. And in the evening, at a festive dinner, the participants of the ascent were awarded. Everyone received certificates and beautiful medals. And they have already started making plans for future ascents.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Today our group of Chronic climbers in full force climbed on the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. The climb was not easy for everyone, although this time the weather decided to please us - there was no strong wind, and in general it was not very cold. We met the dawn at Stella Point with songs and dances. And then we reached the summit of Kilimanjaro.

Now we are already down and resting at the Millennium Camp.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Greetings to all from Tanzania from the group Chronic climbers! Today began with festive dances and songs. After that we went to the Kosovo assault camp. Tonight we are going to climbthe summit of Kilimanjaro.

Super-guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

News from the Chronic Climbers group. Today we moved from Camp Barranco to Camp Karanga.  To do this, we needed to climb the Baranko Wall. Climbing this wall invariably causes a lot of emotions. At first, looking at the wall, everyone asks the question "how to climb it?", and then they climb, watching with surprise a string of porters who overcome the wall with luggage on their heads.

After overcoming the wall, we had a tea party, before which we sang a little and even danced, despite the height of 4,200 meters.  And then there was a beautiful walking to the Karanga camp among beautiful trees and intricate volcanic forms. Tomorrow we have to move to the Kosovo assault camp.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Greetings to all from Tanzania from the group Chronic Climbers!  Today we made the crossing of the Lava Tower.  We climbed to a height of 4600 meters. Unlike the previous groups, this time we were very lucky, no snow and no rain, but in good sunny weather.

After lunch at the Lava Tower, we went down to our next camp - Barranco. The route to Barranco is one of the most beautiful sections of the Kilimanjaro hike. The path is decorated with outlandish senecia plants, waterfalls and a view of the Kilimanjaro wall.

Super-guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Greetings to all from Tanzania from the group “Chronic climbers”!  Today our team finally came up with a name, and also got to know everyone who works with our group: porters, cooks, guides.

But before the introduction ceremony took place, we went through a long but very beautiful climb from the first Machame camp to the Shira Cave camp. From the area where trees grow, we went up to where there is nothing but bushes with picturesque moss. And then the bushes ended.

The ceremony of acquaintance was held with incendiary dances and songs. Tomorrow we have a big crossing over the Lava Tower.

Super-guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Tanzania! Yesterday, the new team of the 7 Summits Club gathered in Tanzania, and today we went on the route and passed our first section on the way to the summit of Kilimanjaro. In the morning we left the hotel and, having packed our things, drove to the gates of the national park. Five and a half hours of walking through the picturesque jungle, and we came to the camp. The first day was not easy for everyone, but everyone coped.

In the evening, the whole group was engaged in coming up with a name, but so far not very successfully.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Greetings to all from Tanzania from the Sharomyzhniki group! The mountain part of our journey has ended today. In the morning we woke up in tents with a view of Kilimanjaro, to the summit of which we climbed the day before (we can't even believe it, it's so far away). And in the afternoon, after walking 13 kilometers through the jungle (where there are many, many wild monkeys) we went down to the exit of the national park and then moved to the hotel.

In the morning, before we left our camp, a farewell ceremony with the team took place. Many songs were sung and many kind words were said.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:

Hello everyone from Tanzania! Today, our full team has ascended to the top of Africa. It was dark, heavy, very cold. Not at all African. Then it became light and beautiful. And a little warm. From the summit we went down first to the assault camp, and then to the Millennium camp, which, although located at an altitude of 3800 meters, but there are already green spaces and a lot of oxygen. Tomorrow our trip to Kilimanjaro ends.
