Dmitry Ermakov, guide of the 7 Summits Club  from Tanzania:

7 Summits, hello! This is Dmitry Ermakov from the summit of Kilimanjaro. Today, Fedor Konyukhov’s group climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro, on Uhuru peak. One member got sick, and Anna and Alexander were able to reach only Stella Point. But, in principle, in such conditions as the weather was, it is a victory. Everything is fine with us, we are going down.

Almost all night the wind was so strong that it knocked down. Including even at the top there were strong gusts of wind. In fact, for all my years of being here on Kilimanjaro, I was for the first time at the top in such weather. But, thank God, everything is fine and everything worked out!

Dmitry Ermakov, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Tanzania:

Fedor Konyukhov’s group moved today from Baranko’s camp to Karanga’s camp. We overcame Baranco Wall. According to our tactics, we were the last to leave the camp today, so as not to stand in line in the wall.  And actually, our tactics were absolutely correct, since we were the only ones on the wall, we did not stand in lines. The weather today was foggy almost all day. Visibility is not very good, but not hot and cold, no rain. Happy New Year to all of you!

We are fine, we are resting now, soon we will have dinner. Tomorrow we are moving on to the assault camp. From there we will ascend  Kilimanjaro.

Dmitry Ermakov, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Tanzania:

  The 7 Summits Club organized the summer season on Kilimanjaro with our experienced guide Sergey Larin. Despite the fact that at this time in Tanzania was winter, with his help " on the roof of Africa " climbed 39 people.

Several families (mostly fathers and sons) have climbed Kilimanjaro this summer.

 With us to the top of Africa has climbed by leading managers of the group companies is the largest publishing house "EKSMO", "BUSTARD", "AST", "LITRES", "ROSEBLACK". Although it was not easy for everyone, but we did it! New climbers learned a lot about themselves, their comrades, their capabilities, and believed that what seems impossible is still possible!  We were very happy to organize the ascent for this team! It was the second peak, after Mount Elbrus, hopefully not the last!

 Meanwhile, September 1st is the beginning of the spring season in Tanzania!  Already going to bloom and bloom in full force all that is usually pleasing to the eye in Tanzania at this time.

 The dry season is still in full swing, but the mountain is getting warmer.

 And, of course, winter is coming! And where to meet the winter, if not in Tanzania!  Hot and dry! The perfect time for climbing!

 This season on Kilimanjaro with You our favorite guide for New year and Christmas holidays, Dmitry Ermakov ("snow leopard") on 23rd Feb and Februar - Artem Rostovtsev (most attentive tour guide and part - time- favorite team at Salomon skyrunning).

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..

 On February 21, 2019, a group of the 7 Summits Club, consisting of 17 members and 3 guides, climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro. The ascent took place along the Marangu route.   It was the third summit in the implementation of Alexander Abramov's project "7 summits in 7 months".  The President of the 7 Summits Club  intends to climb the highest peaks of all continents in the shortest possible time.
