Diary of the ascent of Kilimanjaro by the 7 Summits Club group "Chameleons". November 5-6: Kibo hut and the summit!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin: 11/5-6/2024. Jambo Rafiki!

There was no connection, a hundred thousand sorry! During these two days, the "Chameleons" group of the 7 Summits Club climbed to the Kibo assault camp at 4730 m. On the way there, we had lunch in a beautiful gazebo located in the saddle between Mount Mawenzi at 5145 m and the main summit of the Kilimanjaro massif, Uhuru Peak at 5895 m.

On the night of 6.11, we set out to assault in two groups, an hour apart, and by 8.00 we reunited on the crater in the Gilmans point area at 5685 m.

And by 10 am, our entire friendly team stood at the highest point of Africa, Uhuru Peak at 5895 m in the Kilimanjaro massif! Unfortunately, one girl, due to health reasons, turned back from a height above 5000 m. By evening, tired but happy, we descended to the Horombo camp at 3720 m, where a varied and delicious dinner awaited us.

Happy everyone! Today we go down to the Marangu gate and leave for our favorite hotel Aishe Machame.

Good luck to everyone!

Your super-guides Alexander Abramov and Evgeny Fedyunin.
