Kilimanjaro 2018

Nastya Kuznetsova, guide and Manager of Club 7 Vershin:

News from Tanzania, from the group of Nikolai Sokolov.  And some more information on the end of the season on Kilimanjaro.

 Yesterday on March 1th Nikolay Sokolov's group went down from the mountain and returned to civilization where they were waited by a shower, a festive dinner and pure warm bed. Everyone was tired, but satisfied and happy. According to them everything was cool, but suddenly hard!  On the slopes they had to work out in full, but immediately it is clear that all the efforts and careful preparation were not in vain.

 I would also like to note that for this season January / February 2018 (2 months!) with the 7 Summits Club, more than 100 people climbed the highest peak of the African continent!!!!

And HORROR! We even miss our bronze medals of the 7 Summits Club “For climbing Kilimanjaro”, which we sent to Tanzania for the upcoming season. We offer our deepest apologies in advance to the groups that have successfully reached the summit and are now going down for the imprudent mistake on our part. But, of course, all participants will be awarded.

Every climber will be invited to the ceremony in person!

A message from Nikolai Sokolov. February 28th, 10: 16. Nikolay Sokolov's team has climbed today to the highest peak of Africa, UHURU peak (5,895 m), all together, and they are now on the descent. Part of the group has already returned to the base camp of Barafu, some still on the way. After 3 hours, all should all be in the Millennium camp at 3800 m. The Weather is good!

 From us: we wish everyone a safe descent and completion of the program!

Five groups of the 7 Summits Club went to Africa a few days ago. And so we got the first reports of success on Kilimanjaro.

 21 Feb Tolkunova Yuliya and Tatyana Osharova successfully summited the highest peak in Africa Kilimanjaro along the shortest and sports route - Marangu at 5 days.

  Through the day, members of the group of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Voskresenskiy and Andrei Markov have successfully made the ascent by the Machame route.  All the details of the expedition You can see in the photos by Sergei Voskresensky…

Elena Mitrofanova was climbing Kilimanjaro in a team with Valentin Mamrak and Mary Zisman in the new year period and at the beginning of 2018. On her Facebook page, she published a small report, in the form of diary entries and individual notes. She also has published a collection of beautiful photos made with taste and invention. Be sure to see the entire gallery…

Anastasia and Konstantin Lapko stood on top of Kilimanjaro on February 8, 2018. They went up by the shortest route, Marangu (in sport version - in 5 days) and successfully coped with this difficult task. Then Anastasia and Konstantin went on a Safari through the parks of Tanzania and are now returning home. Congratulations on the summit and wish you further achievements!

 Anastasia Lapko: Oh, everything was just great!!! We are now at Dubai airport. Guides - well done!!! A huge thanks to them! For me, this ascent turned out to be much easier than Elbrus, as a walk. But my husband covered by mountain sickness. But if I was not a biochemist and not taking pills, he could not be reached the summit. Although the figures were the same for we all (me, husband, and guide). It was great! We are insanely happy!

News from Tanzania. Another group of 7 summits Club successfully climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. Members of the expedition received their diplomas. We congratulate them on the summit and wish them continued success!

Mikhail Nitishinsky from Tanzania: "On February 3th at 6: 16 AM we climbed up to Uhuru peak. Hurray!

The day before that, I managed to scatter, with a temperature of 38.5, hunk and a complete lack of appetite. But somehow I was able to mobilize myself and... And it worked."

Group of Eugene Staroselsky made the ascent on the summit of Kilimanjaro on January 24 of this year. After the tour, we got  this wonderful video clip and photographs.

Dmitry Ermakov, a guide of 7 summits Club in Tanzania: Seven summits, Hello! Dmitry Ermakov, Kilimanjaro. Today begins a new proram for a group on the Machame route, three persons. Tomorrow morning we start up. It's all good. The team arrived  successful. The weather is beautiful. Bye!

 The ascent was great, we not only climbed to the highest free-standing mountain of the Earth, but also walked around the crater and touched the disappearing glaciers of Kilimanjaro. In total, in new year's eve, during the ascent, we spent more than 4 hours at a height of 5700-5895 meters. That  is undoubtedly due to our wonderful guides Urio and Wiesen.  They were able to acclimatized us to prepare us for this — we have not filled any symptoms of altitude sickness.

  We sang and danced at the top, drank champagne, and got just a wonderful experience and memories. We'll miss that mountain and our team consisting of 15 cute, fun and professional guys whom we called Kaka, that is, brothers.
