The 7 Summits Club guide Olya Rumyantseva sends from Tanzania:

 Hello to everyone from Tanzania from the Padel Team! The fourth day of our trip to Kilimanjaro. This morning we climbed the legendary Barranco wall. Everyone really enjoyed the climb. It was fun and beautiful.

And after the wall, a trail with unearthly landscapes awaited us. The way was slightly overshadowed by low clouds and the absence of sun. But in any case, we were lucky. Because when we arrived at the camp at 4000, it started to rain, in places turning into hail. And it poured until the evening. So much for the dry season!

 However, this rain was no longer scary for us. Although, to be honest, we wanted at least a little sun to warm up and dry our damp things.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Leuan Atabiev reports from the Elbrus region:

 Greetings to all mountain lovers! On July 11, the "Moscow Pies" team set out to climb at 2 a.m. Unfortunately, they did not set out in full force, only two of the three participants. Soon after leaving, due to health reasons, another participant returned to the refuge. The team continued climbing Elbrus with two guides and one participant. And in this composition, we successfully climbed the highest point in Europe 5642. We were at the summit at 8:30. The weather was wonderful and amazingly beautiful views opened up constantly.

The 7 Summits Club guide Olya Rumyantseva sends from Tanzania:

 Greetings to everyone from Tanzania from the "Padel Team". Today we had a difficult day. We made a very long, but incredibly beautiful trek to the Barranco camp. First we climbed through the clouds and volcanic desert to the camp on Lava Tower at an altitude of 4620 meters. We had lunch there. And then we descended through the thickets of amazing senecia to the Barranco camp, losing almost all the gained altitude. The transition was not easy, but everyone coped.

The 7 Summits Club guide Olya Rumyantseva sends from Tanzania:

Hello to everyone from Tanzania! From the group that has been trying to come up with a name for itself for the second day. And the second day we started our journey in the rain. So believe it or not, July is the dry season. True, in the afternoon, when we gained an altitude of more than 3500, we rose above the clouds, and the rain stopped.

Today, all the way we had incredible views and a lot of flowers and beautiful trees.

Unforgettable. Our camp today is at an altitude of 3800. Therefore, having arrived at the camp, we went even higher for acclimatization. And then there was a traditional ceremony of acquaintance with the local team serving us.

Hurray! By nightfall, the team came up with a name: "Padel Team"...

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Avtomonov reports from the Elbrus region:

Hello to everyone from the Elbrus region! The 7 Summits Club group has decided on a name - now "We are the first".

All the group members feel good, physically and mentally ready for new challenges.

A new group of the 7 Summits Club arrived in Tanzania and set out on the Machame route. And although this period is considered the dry season, it has been raining here for two weeks without a break. Today, on the first day of the hike, we also walked in the rain all day and are sitting in the camp in the rain. But we are not discouraged. We hope that the weather will be better in the future.
