Hola! The "Health for" group continues to prepare for the ascent of Aconcagua. Yesterday, for the purpose of acclimatization, we climbed to an altitude of 5000 meters, to an overnight camp called Plaza Canada. The weather was sunny, but in some places the wind reminded us that Aconcagua is a very windy mountain. The necessary set of wind protection and warm clothes helped us reach the desired altitude.

Today we have a day of rest and a medical check. Tomorrow we leave for the final acclimatization rotation, we will spend the night on Nido de Condores. The group guides are Andrey Berezin and Viktor Volodin.

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

Jambo Rafiki! The 7 Summits Club "White Masai" group today passed the most difficult part of the trek, the ascent to Lava Tower 4640m and the descent to the Barranco wall to the camp at an altitude of 3900m. Unfortunately, one of the participants caught a bad cold on the 1st day during the rain and today it was decided to stop the ascent for him.

The altitude makes itself felt, there are signs of a headache in other participants, but everything is within normal limits. On the route, a wonderful lunch awaited us at an altitude of 4640 m, with watermelons for dessert. Then we passed through a stunning valley of senecias (grass palms) on the descent, and admired the view of the Barranco wall, which we will climb tomorrow. ALL of this is impressive! At sunset, we first saw the main summit of Kibo, Uhuru Peak 5895m! Our route on the southern circumnavigation is exactly there! Now dinner and a well-deserved rest! Good luck to everyone!
