The Guide Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

September 18. Hello everyone! Jambo Ma-Rafiki! The 7 Summits Club group "Fura on the Left," after a delicious hearty breakfast, set out to assault the Barranco Wall, which at first glance seems like an impenetrable fortress... But anything goes, and we conquered it in two hours!

At the top, there was a pit stop for tea and then a trek through two lunar valleys with lava fields. We arrived at Karanga Camp, at 4,030 meters, by lunchtime. And for lunch, we had borscht—wasn't it borscht?

Now it's time to rest, tomorrow is the final ascent to the summit camp, and tonight, the ascent!

Take care! See you in the mountains! Best of luck to everyone!

The 7 Summits Club guide Alexey Lonchinsky reports from Kenya:

Good afternoon, greetings from Kenya! Our small team has arrived in the capital city of Nairobi. The flight went well, and our bags arrived with us (surprise!). We checked into a great hotel. We wandered around the local shops and, fortunately, found everything we needed. There were no shortage of options. We dined at a restaurant with a view, admiring the sunset. Everything was perfect.

 Greetings from Papua New Guinea! Our team has been renamed "Huli na Giluwe" (the first word is the name of an indigenous people in Papua, by the way). Today was a day packed with cultural activities. After breakfast, we headed to Paya Village, where a tribal festival was taking place! About 10 different local tribes had gathered there today, each decorated in their own unique way: bright feathers, headdresses, and painted faces. They put on a real show with music and skits.

 Afterwards, we tried the traditional dish "mumu"—pork baked with sweet potatoes in banana leaves in a pit. After lunch, we moved to Magic Mountain Lodge, had dinner, had an evening briefing, and decided on the next day's itinerary.

We're heading into the mountains in the morning! We're climbing Mount Giluwe! We'll be out of contact for almost two days, so don't lose us, wait for us!

The Guide Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Tanzania:

September 17. Hello everyone! Jambo Ma-Rafiki! The 7 Summits Club group "Fura on the Left" completed the most challenging day of the trek today – the ascent to Lava Tower (4,640m) and the descent to Barranco Camp (3,900m) at the foot of the famous Barranco Wall. The group accomplished the task brilliantly. The weather was favorable, once again without precipitation. The service, as always, was excellent!

Tomorrow we'll sleep an extra hour!

Take care! See you in the mountains! Best of luck to everyone!
