January 7th, trek to Baranko Camp, 4000m, via Lava Tower, 4600m. Rain in the afternoon, as usual.
8:01 on Baranko, clear in the morning. We've had some changes in our team. Our youngest member got sick (not altitude sickness) and decided to go back down. It was probably the right decision; turning back at the right time isn't easy. The group, accompanied by a guide with oxygen and porters, headed down from Karanga Camp directly to Millennium Camp. Alexey is now at Millennium, and all is well. The rest of the team ascended to Barafu Camp (4,600m). I can't help but mention our porters and tent pitchers. It just so happens this time that they've been constantly pitching tents in the rain, and today, in sleet. Anyone who's ever done this in such weather will understand. The tents aren't just personal; we have eight of them. There's also a large dining tent and kitchen. Tomorrow is basically a rest day, just a short hike to Kosovo Camp at 4,800m, and preparation for the climb.

The 7 Summits Club guide Sergey Larin reports from Tanzania:
Hello everyone! Our new Kilimanjaro team has adopted the name "From 5th to 12th E." The group has arrived in Tanzania and, with 12 members, has begun its ascent along the Machame route. The average age of the participants is 36, which, in my opinion, is ideal for high-altitude climbing. I will report average weight and height later. Today, as you may recall, we will trek to Machame Camp at 3,000 meters.
