Viktor Ershov, guide of the 7 Summits Club:

Hello everyone from Kilimanjaro! Today around 8 am the whole group of “Falcons-2019” climbed the highest free-standing mountain in the world! Than lived up to the name of group - it was fast, clear, a real Express! Now we went down to the camp Horombo, all wildly tired, because not every day you pass about 20 km in the mountains with a large difference in height. Tomorrow we run down and rest! Hurray!

Guide Viktor Ershov: Hello from the wet  Tanzania from the group of Sapsan-2019! In the morning we started from the hotel to the entrance of Kilimanjaro National Park under heavy rain.  On the way we stopped at the supermarket for batteries and repellent. Then we checked in at the Park reception.  The rain stopped and we moved to the camp of Mandara.  We got there quickly in 3 hours, but the shoes were soaked through. In the evening we passed the medical check, all the members have excellent performance and good health, and  we tasted a delicious dinner. We hope that there will be no more such heavy rains..

We combined several separate fragments of the expedition into one video. It seems that it conveys a festive atmosphere in the group, which determined the overall success of the ascent. Alexander Abramov continues his project "Seven summits in seven months", the next – Carstensz  Pyramid in March, join us!

 Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club from Tanzania:

 Our expedition to Kilimanjaro is coming to an end.  It was great!  All 20 climbers (17 members and 3 guides) reached the top. It was difficult. But all are satisfied and happy. And all  people became much friends....

Information from Alexander Abramov: the whole group ("Children of Adam" or "Children of Abram") of 17 participants and 3 guides (Abramov Alexander,  Abramov Denis and Kuznetsova Anastasia) reached the summit of Mount Kilimanjaro via Marangu.

 We are waiting for details!

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Ermakov from Tanzania:

 7 Summits, Hello! Dmitry Ermakov from Kilimanjaro.  A group of "fast-legged deers" climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. The fastest climbed in 3: 15, the other 5: 20, about that. All is well, we are already in the camp, now we will rest… 

The 7 Summits Club  guide Dmitry Ermakov from Tanzania:

 7 summits, Hello! Here is Dmitry Ermakov from the Karanga camp. Our group of "swift-footed deers" today came out the last from the Barranco camp, because we didn’t want  to stand in line on the Barranco wall and two hours (first) ran to the next camp. The weather is stable, it rains in the afternoon. Now we will rest a bit and go for a walk above. The mood is excellent!

Anastasia Kuznetsova, guide and manager of the 7 Summits Club:

  That is all! We did it – we finally got on the route!  All documents are completed, the ultimate goal is defined.  Today we passed the zone of Equatorial forests. On the road met the blue monkeys and the elegant endemics of Kilimanjaro - black-and-white colobus monkeys.  We ascended a kilometer and reached the first camp on the upper border of the forest -  Mandara Hut at 2800 m. And for Mandara there is news. First, there were sockets, which were not there before (they are few, but they are). And secondly, (and most importantly) there's  new huts, which is still not officially opened. We had to solve this issue informally, and we were the first group that settled there. Tomorrow we will move to Horombo at 3800….

Anastasia Kuznetsova, guide and manager of 7 Summits Club:

 Greetings from Tanzania! Alexander Abramov's group is practically gathered!  It remains to wait only two members arriving late flight. The rest of all we met, all equipment checked, all in hire remeasured.   There was a briefing and an evening of “dating” with live music on the outdoor terrace, under the stars.  In general, we are ready to go on the route!

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Ermakov from Tanzania:

The 7 Summits Club, hello! Dmitry Ermakov from Kilimanjaro. Today a new group has started a program in Kilimanjaro.  I gave them the name "swift-footed deers".  Because the members of the group got from the gate to the Machame camp in 2.30 minutes! Looks like a record! That is all right. We got the rain, but it's the little things in life!  We are all OK…

The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Ermakov from Tanzania:

We went up a little bit higher, now we are resting and waiting for dinner. We are doing well and all people are feeling fine. The mood is fighting.

Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Bolivia:

Aloha 7 Summits!!!!  Here are In touch Vladimir Kotlyar and Irina Zisman! We're on the other side of geography, in Bolivia! Today is the first day of our trip, we dedicated it to acquaintance with La Paz, the capital of this distant country. The city impressed us and pleasantly surprised. Especially pleased with the local "metro", or rather the cable car, which replaces it.

Dmitry Ermakov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club in Tanzania:

 Hello! Dmitry Ermakov started working with a new group in Kilimanjaro. Tonight the last members arrived in Tanzania.  In the morning we packed up and now we are at the gates of Machame. Now we will register the group and go higher. The weather is beautiful. Today has even been seen Kilimanjaro in the morning. Compared to the New Year time, there are practically no people  on the route. In General, everything is fine and everything is going according to plan.
