SUMMIT! The 7 Summits Club group "22 friends of Oscar and Fedor Konyukhov" successfully climbed the summit of Kilimanjaro
February 15. To all, Jumbo from the highest peak in Africa - Uhuru Peak (5895m) in the Kilimanjaro massif, where our team stood early this morning!
18 of the 22 Friends of Oscar and Fedor Konyukhov climbed on the roof of Africa! For many, this was a high-altitude record, and for some, it was their first mountain in their lives. The youngest climber, Pavel Stepanov, is 13 years old. He climbed with his sisters, 15 and 18, under the watchful guidance of his father, Sergey Stepanov. For the daughter and wife of Oscar Konyukhov, this summit was the fourth in their collection.
The mountain was not easy for everyone - we went out in a strong wind, used crampons on the ridge, and on the descent we were covered by snowfall. We got a sea of emotions. Now we have already descended to the Millennium camp. We are resting.
The group's guides are Evgeny Fedyunin and Lyudmila Korobeshko.
