Kilimanjaro 2016

We want to note that during New Year period (mid Dec 2015 to mid January 2016) 9 groups with a total of 39 people climbed on Kilimanjaro with the "7 Summits Club".

Group climbed from different sides of the volcano, by the route - Marangu, Machame, Lemosho with local Tanzanian and Russian guides.

For someone Kilimanjaro was the first summit, for others it was the next peak after Everest. The youngest participant was 14 years old, the most experienced - 70. They also reached the top of Africa.

32 persons of 39 reached the highest point in Africa (Uhuru peak 5895 m), it is about 84% of successful ascents.

February, 17^th  our group completed the program, which included climbing the highest peak in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, and a two-day safari in the national parks. Rains at the beginning of the campaign gave way to good weather ... Just see all the photographs ...

Hello, Seven Summits! This is Artem Rostovtsev, from Gillmans point, Kilimanjaro. Gillmans point is the point on the crater, where about half of the climbers ends up with a climb on the mountain. We're not finished. Today we went further, the whole team reached Stella point. Well, after that opinion was divided and half went to the top.  And half were waiting for them below. We met at the Gillmans point…

We were on the top at seven in the morning. Now... the way down to the Horombo hut...

There awaits us a festive meal...

Best regards from the group  “Seven brave” and  their guide Artem Rostovtsev

Dmitry Kasyanov climbed on the highest summit of Africa with assistance of the 7 Summits Club along Marangu's route. Returning home, he sent us some interesting photos.

 "My comment is simple. It is excellent opportunity to change cardinally ambience - other continent, the southern hemisphere, new stars in the sky, people with other skin color, this left-hand traffic on roads, and the wild tremendous nature! It is Tanzania which can be beheld from height of clouds, standing on the highest peak of Africa, Kilimanjaro! It is that you will never forget!"

Hello Seven Summits! It Artem Rostovtsev. My group arrived at the gate of the "Kilimanjaro" National Park. It is Marangu gate, we go via Marangu route. Yesterday we all the evening finally came together. We even had time to see Arusha. This morning we completed the preparation and are now ready to begin the journey to the mountain. Weather - nice, although rainy promise. But we hope that it will be  open at the top. Wish us luck! Another hello from Artem Rostovtsev and from the group (we are 7 people) going to Kilimanjaro.
