Summit! The group of the 7 Summits Club "Big Change" made a successful ascent on the summit of Kilimanjaro. It's been a long time since the mountain has seen so much snow!
Olga Rumyantseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, sends from Tanzania:
Greetings from Tanzania! Today, our small but very cheerful group climbed Kilimanjaro in difficult weather conditions. Despite the difficult conditions that haunt us all the way, we were lucky. And in the intervals between clouds and snowfall, we managed to see a piece of dawn over Mawenzi - an unforgettable sight. And there are glaciers and a crater covered with snow.
There is an unprecedented amount of snow on Kilimanjaro right now. Because of this, the participants even had to use crampons on the descent from the mountain. It turned out to be a real mountaineering.
At the camp, we were greeted by a team with songs and dances. And after a short rest, we continued our descent and came to the Millennium camp, where we will spend the last night of our hike.
