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!

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!

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!

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

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!

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!

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

Jumbo Rafiki! A new group of the 7 Summits Club, the name of which is still being discussed, flew to the foot of Kilimanjaro today to do trekking and climb the summit along the Machame route! The day flew by in solving organizational issues, checking equipment and a little relaxation in the park of the Aisha hotel. We will start the route tomorrow! Good luck to everyone!

Evgeny Fedyunin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:

Hello everyone On May 10th, the group "To the Summit" of the 7 Summits Club made an ascent on the summit of West Elbrus 5642m! The weather was not good at all and frayed my nerves.  In conditions of minimal visibility, we achieved our goal and safely (though not quickly) descended to the refuge.  And then to the hotel!

Evgeny Fedyunin, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:

 Hello everyone! Today, the group "8 Summits" of the 7 Summits Club climbed to the Refuge National Park, at an altitude of 3900m. We went higher to the ruins of Refuge-11, to a height of 4100m, and held snow classes and classes on the technique of movement on fixed ropes there! We worked out self-arrest and everyone was happy!

Lunch and dinner from our chefs are, as always, amazingly delicious. Tomorrow we will continue the high-altitude acclimatization.

 The Puppy Patrol group of the 7 Summits Club moved to the Shira Plateau at 3800 today. The whole team feels great. We had a wonderful lunch waiting for us. Now we have a walk around the Shira Plateau. Guides Kristina Putintseva and Evgeny Fedyunin.

Urgent! There is a summit! The team of the 7 Summits Club climbed the highest peak in Africa, Kilimanjaro volcano (5895 m). Three of the four team members were standing on Uhuru Peak at nine in the morning and the whole group visited the edge of the crater at Stella Point.

The ascent was made in difficult weather conditions. Now the group has just descended to the Horombo camp (3800 m), everyone is tired and soaked in the rain. Now dinner and a well-deserved rest.

Details follow! The information was transmitted by the group guide Evgeny Fedyunin.

31.10. Jambo Rafiki! The Saber-Toothed Koloboks group of the 7 Summits Club left the equatorial jungle today. We walked through the heather thickets, crossing the moorland zone (grassy marshes), along a wide path to the Horombo hut (3720m). On the way we met a small chameleon and very impudent ravens. Today we finally saw the Kibo cone — the summit of Kilimanjaro!

Everyone is in a good mood and ready for further acclimatization.

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

Jumbo Rafiki! Greetings from Africa! A group of the 7 Summits Club with an uncertain name started today on the Marangu route. After issuing permits, we went to the equatorial jungle. The walk to the first overnight stay of Mandara Hut (2750 m) took 4 hours. At the beginning everything was fine, but in the last 15 minutes a tropical downpour was turned on... Apparently, the season of short rains begins a little bit. On the way we met two families of monkeys watching us closely! Tomorrow we go higher at 3700, to the Horombo camp.

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