Greetings to all from Tanzania from the Amateurs group! Today our group in full ascended the summit of Kilimanjaro. Yesterday we went up to Kibo camp, where there was no communication at all. So there was no way to share with you our worries before climbing.
And at midnight we went out to climb. The assault day on the Marangu route is quite difficult, and it was not easy for all of us. But we managed. And by the evening we went down to the Horombo camp at 3700.
The report of the guide Valery Myasoedov on the ascent to the Peak of Communism

"Greetings from the Base Camp in Moskvin's Glade, which is located in distant Tajikistan! We are already warm and safe, and on August 3 we stood at Summit of the Peak of Communism (7495 m) — the highest point of the Soviet Union!
The ascent was not easy: the Base Camp - Summit - Base Camp route takes 8-9 days, but successful acclimatization, competent planning, and most importantly, the weather factor were on our side. It was the right decision to unite with other groups on the day of the assault, snow this year is waist-deep almost all over the route, a small group cannot overcome such an obstacle.
19 people stormed out of Camp 4 under Dushanbe Peak at an altitude of 7000 m. Up to 7400 m we walked all together, and then our group, having passed the most difficult section first, reached the Crest and at 12.40 (local time) were the first to reach Summit!
The panorama from the Roof of the World, as the Pamirs are called, was amazing! Imagine, our 8000 Club flag didn't even need to be stretched, it was almost calm... This doesn't happen very often.
There was no limit to the delight and emotions of our Anastasia Panfilova! She managed to make both peaks this season: the Peak of Korzhenevskaya and the Peak of Communism. The photos turned out great, for the first time I decided to number them so that our friends of the 7 Summits Club and the 8000 Club could appreciate the beauty of each moment"

Buenas Dias from the "Let's get a Llama" team! We did it! There is a peak of Chachani 6057! We had an amazing final two days. Yesterday we went to the Kolka Canyon — the second deepest canyon in the world, located in the valley of the Kolka River. Thousands of giant terraces, where the local population has been growing potatoes and cereals for hundreds of years, makes an incredible impression!
Then, we went to watch condors in a place called Cruz del Condor, where these giant birds are attracted by unusual air currents. They took off from nowhere and hovered over our heads — a fantastic sight! In the afternoon we managed to swim in the hot springs, and in the evening our team moved to the Base Camp of the Chachani volcano. At night we stormed and successfully climbed one of the iconic peaks of Peru — Mount of Brave.
I would like to say that on this trip we discovered Peru from almost all sides, starting from gastronomic pleasures, cultural attractions of the ancient Inca civilization, ending with the most beautiful peaks of the Southern Andes!
Friends, join our next trip to Peru this fall! You will definitely not regret it!

There, from where the view of summit of Kilimanjaro opened and it was possible to see the route along which we would climb to.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Olga Rumyantseva reports from Tanzania:
Hello everyone from Tanzania! It's only been a couple of days since climbing Kilimanjaro, and now a new group has gathered at the foot of this mountain to begin their journey to the top.
This time our way will take the Marangu route - the most comfortable route to Kilimanjaro. But in order not to relax too much, the weather sent us rain. Almost all the way to the first hut we walked either in the drizzling rain, or through the humid jungle, shrouded in fog. However, this did not upset us much.
While our group is still choosing a name for itself, it is getting used to new conditions. For most of the group, this ascent is the first mountain experience. So many amazing discoveries are waiting for us.

Ararat is in touch! It's been a long day. We went up to the assault camp, spent the night there, and at two o'clock in the morning went out to climb. We had the safest possible team: two guides and two participants. As a result, having split up, everyone reached the top at their own pace. Then there was a descent to the assault camp, where we rested a little, packed up and went to the base camp. Tonight we will spend the night at the base camp.
