Kilimanjaro(5895) - Page 20

 Thank you to the participants of the first our big team this year on Kilimanjaro! After return home they sent us a huge number of photos. Many of the photos  are similar to the ones we had, but there are  lots original. In addition, what is unique – that is  the people, happy faces of the people. That is also the reward for us. We've posted the full set of photos on our website. And in this report we publish some of them - not in high resolution....

Oleg Pimenovs ran to the summit of Kilimanjaro in front of a local guide, for 5.30, in a light "Zanzibar" gear. He even went to Zanzibar. But don't miss the opportunity to escape to the highest peak of Africa.

Congratulations!

On Friday evening, 19 Jan 2018 another award and a medal for successful climb on the highest summit of Africa - Kilimanjaro (5895 m) found their heroes.

This time they are Roman Venediktov and Olga Samotoina, climbed on Kilimanjaro in the new year's eve.

 CONGRATULATIONS AND WISH THEM FURTHER ACHIEVEMENTS!

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.

That ended the season's first "winter" ascent on Kilimanjaro. It was successful. Vladimir and Polina Liubomirov’s ascended the summit and descended at a rapid rate (day two) guided by Dmitry Ermakov. And it brought them a step towards his dream of Everest. This command was rightly awarded the honor of being the first awarded medals for Kilimanjaro.

Congratulations!

So the group of Lubomirov’s starts on the route Umbwe. The weather is beautiful, the mood is even better!

Today in the office of the 7 Summits Club we once again worked out the award ceremony with an honorary medal with a personal certificate for climbing Kilimanjaro (the highest peak in Africa, 5,895 m). This time, we practiced the ceremony on the representative of ourClub in Tanzania - Valeria Polunina. She pleased us with her presence on this winter evening.

 Our friends from Brazil successfully summited the highest peak in Africa Kilimanjaro (5 895 m). They are in a good mood, continue their journey through Africa. On their return home, we are waiting for more photos and impressions! And now there is only such nice photo from the top. Congratulations!

The 7 Summits Club started the development and production of medals for ascents on each of “the 7 summits”. Today there was the first presentation of the medal for climbing Kilimanjaro. And practicing the ceremony of awarding the medals. Medals are awarded in a festive atmosphere by dressing on the neck of each participant. Medals are only given to the summit climbers. Its will be  not sold and not given. To every coin is issued a certificate signed by the guide. At presentation of the medal women made curtsey and kiss a guide. Men stand a thank-you on one knee. These rules must be explained by the guides prior to delivery. The certificate must be completed and signed by the guide.

On 10th October a group of the 7 summits Club climbed to the summit of Kilimanjaro. It was a trio: Mikhail Stepanov, Sergey Laptev and Yury Zozulya.

The climb was not very easy, but  guys did it! The weather helped as it could...

Congratulations! The team is now thinking where to go next.

Mikhail Stepanov: Thank you very much! Everything was perfect: the guides, the team, especially the food!!!

Immediately 2 groups of the 7 Summits Club performed a successful ascent on the roof of Africa - Mount Kilimanjaro (5,895 m).

11 participants out of 12 climbed to the highest point of the massif, which is called the Uhuru peak (which means "freedom" in Swahili). And one another of our climbers was able to climb to the edge of the crater to the key height of Stella Point.

 Congratulations to all climbers with the summit!

Yesterday, the the 7 summits Club welcomed a guest. Artist, Vice-President of the Union of Russian Abstractionist, Anastasia Dobrovolskaya brought her picture painted on the edge of the crater of the highest volcano of Africa – Kilimanjaro.

 Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro - it was the first climbing experience Anastasia. And there, in Africa, the idea of a large project called "Seven paintings in seven highest peaks in the world". Anastasia plans to climb all Seven summits and to do what did no one in the world. That is, to bring down the finished new painting.

We wish Nastya good luck in the project! Diary of her travels in Tanzania and the history of painting on top of Kilimanjaro, has recently been published on our website. On further expeditions and plans we will also keep you up to date...

Photo report about how I climbed Kilimanjaro and at an altitude of over 5700 meters, painted the world's first high-altitude painting...

We are at the top. This is 1st summit (Gillmans Point) - 5685 meters. We stay... we drank tea, ate chocolate and biscuits. We must go further. Close to 2-th summit, all stopped and no one could go far. We began to breathe artificial oxygen from the tank. The tour guide said that when we get to 3rd  summit, he will allow not more than 10 minutes to be there.

I have joined the brain. To write a painting I  need 30-40 minutes, and in the current situation and all 45. I decided to sit right here on the rocks, please oil on canvas and palette knife. With me remains husband and 2 porters. The rest of the group goes on... I begin to paint. My Head's not straight, the colors - in the pile, Kilimanjaro is not given.

After 20 minutes, the image of the mountain appears. The guides help keep the folder and the canvas serves paint and sincerely amazed at how the canvas it appeared - Kilimanjaro))))

It took 40 minutes and all my power, which I need to remain for the descent…

Kilimanjaro from a plane. Very rare and successful shots. The crater is seen directly in the palm of your hand. Three volcanic cones of different ages are clearly visible. And how little ice is left!

Sergey Larin, guide of 7 summits Club:

Kilimanjaro. The sixth day. 7 Aug. Go to the camp to Barafu (4680 m). Despite three nights in the height of 4000 meters, the part of the participants was not feeling very well.

Kilimanjaro. On the seventh day. 8 Aug. Went out at 12 at night. At 8 am we were  on the summit, almost all. Except  Vlad 11 years old and Nikita is 12 years old. I stopped them  at 5300. I decided to keep young growing organisms for the next ascents in future.

The group descends into the Millennium camp at 3,000 meters...

The group "Fathers and sons" starts the program on Kilimanjaro. I could not  remember whether it was the same name before, but now it correctly reflects the composition of the participants. In the group there are four children from 11 to 15 years...

 The leader of the expedition of the Kazakh Geographical society Magjan Sagimbayev:

After a successful ascent to Kilimanjaro, the group went on a Safari through the parks of Tanzania. We visited the valley of the Tarangire river, which is famous for its baobab trees and elephants. As well as a unique place "lost world" of Ngorongoro crater, which many are calling the "eighth wonder of the world".

 We met almost all the inhabitants of the national Park, except rhinos. Obiageli real drama of the Safari, the match between lions and buffaloes. Was a little taken aback by the size of Ngorongoro crater. Who would have thought that there exists a small world for animals.

 Just for the sake of the Safari was to go to Tanzania! Very cool!
