Kilimanjaro(5895) - Page 19

Artem Rostovtsev, guide of the 7 Summits Club: 

Kilimanjaro. Team Unstoppable. Yesterday there was the top of mountain, and as it turned out - in the perfect weather window. Today there was a successful descent into civilization. One regret, our Japanese film crew was a little behind and had no opportunity to shoot our solemn exit at the gate of Kilimanjaro national Park. We have a solemn presentation of certificates and medals for climbing ahead of us. And then Safari, sandy beaches and other mountains. All, Akuna Matata!

Artem Rostovtsev from Tansania:

Kilimanjaro. A Team named The indomitables. Yesterday we were to reach the camp of Karanga, but could not. To be more precise, we did not stop, as planned. We went higher to the camp of Barafu, the assault camp. One word - we are indomitable. No arguments worked, everyone wanted and insisted on continuing the movement. Well, there was the most important argument. "Our" film crew from Japan also moved to the Barafu camp. We can not lag behind, because we are the main characters of the future film.

 Precipitation yesterday stopped be impressing, a few drops of rain and snow at the end of the marsh.

If yesterday was Barafu, then today – we must be at the top. Then we did not change our plans and left the camp at 1 in the morning. 7 hours of persistent walking uphill on a snowy slope and we are on the top. Unfortunately, the younger generation - the two youngest of the team did not visit the summit, for medical reasons.  

Now we are all moving down of the assault camp down. Maybe we'll skip to the rain.

Today, the 7 Summits Club continued its series of expeditions on Kilimanjaro. A group led by our guide Artem Rostovtsev comes on the route of climbing to the highest peak of Africa.

 And although the forecasts are not the most favorable (promise heavy rainfall every day), we do not lose optimism and hope that the clouds will be low and the group will be above all this. That is, in other words, the group will rise above the clouds. From the bottom to pour rain, and the top will be dry and sunny!

 While we wait for news from Artem's group, we publish a photo report on the ascent of the group of our partners "Transformer travel", who were on Kilimanjaro with the 7  Summits Club in February this year.

Here 142 photos

It is promised continuation. Two galleries of photos from Sergei Shishkin. So, Tanzania, the month of March. After quite a winter ascent to the top of Kilimanjaro, the group goes to visit dreamed from childhood African animals. And then, basking in the Sands of Zanzibar…

A group of 5 people climbed Kilimanjaro on March 7, 2018. The entire journey lasted from 3 to 9 March.

The team members reached the top in the conditions of heavy snowfall, not typical for this time and the region. But they did it and the difficulty only united the group!

 CONGRATULATIONS!!!

 Comment of the ascent of the team members - Michael Sandakov.

 In general we enjoyed the climb. Very experienced, sociable guides Victor and Rashid! They supported the group in a good mood, even when we  did not laugh very much. Every morning and evening they check the health of everyone, gave recommendations.

 In addition a few photos/videos...

Here are photos from our international group (members gathered from Russia, Turkey, Latvia), which managed to climb to the top almost in full  stuff to the top (Uhuru peak, 5,895 m).

Unprecedented for March, the big snow can be not only in Moscow!  Groups of the 7 Summits Club were in the similar situation on Kilimanjaro. In cold conditions and zero visibility our members and guides tried to get to Uhuru peak. But not everyone succeeded! Someone managed to climb to the top and to descend back.  But some of our members was less fortunate. But, nevertheless, in these unrealistic for African conditions, our comrades managed to reach the edge of the crater - Gilmans point. Which is a great achievement! And they became witnesses a rare natural phenomenon in Tanzania-a snowstorm in Africa! Their good luck we can only envy!

The 7 Summits Club thanks Mikhail Netishinsky for the great selection of quality pictures that he sent us in return from Kilimanjaro!  And for the original slide show. Mikhail visited Tanzania in early February this year, climbed to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro and visited national parks, where he managed to make excellent shooting of local fauna…

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!

Irina Zisman with teams of  the 7 Summits Club raises the flag of the beauty contest "Beauty of Universe" on the highest peaks of the continents.

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."
