Hello from the warm Crimea! Although today it was colder than yesterday. We were now climbing with our clients, Alina and Vova. Climbing in the Valley Uch-kosh by a route, made by order of 7 Summits Club, one of our routes. It's a difficult, vertical ascent. All people have been great. Everything was good, all fought - with themself, with the weather ... At the top, we had tea. Everything went perfectly. So I think it was good for everyone. All  worked ... worked with ropes, worked with jumars. Tomorrow we are going to a cave, it is called "Friendship".  With big beautiful rooms in the cave. Good luck to all!

Hi, Seven Summits! It is Artem Rostovtsev from Kilimanjaro slopes. We have again a strong north wind from the equator today. We went out at night on the ascent to the "roof of Africa", and at 7-40 a.m. we were at the top. Unfortunately, one participant was forced to withdraw yesterday. We sent him down (he is already at the hotel in Moshi). Therefore, on top there were only three people and I  form the team of the Seven Summits Club….

As a result, I was not able to reach the top missing a couple of hundred meters.. I did everything I could, and even more. I resisted to the last, and climbed higher and higher. But, alas! In the end, leaving only the desire and the will, but no forces. I could not take a step up. I had to climb down from a height somewhere 6700 meters, after admiring the amazingly beautiful surrounding countryside from this height panorama…

Hello everybody! It is a Head of Mountain School  of the 7 Summits Club on the Caucasian Mineral Waters Alexander Grebenyuk. The group climbed to the top of the mountain Madovaya (honey). Further we were waiting for 200 meters of descent on the ropes. The average steepness was about  60 degrees. The weather is good, warm,  good mood.

 "My comment is simple. It is excellent opportunity to change cardinally ambience - other continent, the southern hemisphere, new stars in the sky, people with other skin color, this left-hand traffic on roads, and the wild tremendous nature! It is Tanzania which can be beheld from height of clouds, standing on the highest peak of Africa, Kilimanjaro! It is that you will never forget!"
