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...

Alexander Tishkov, a guide of the 7 Summits Club from Morocco: Today, a group of the 7 Summits Club climbed Toubkal.  The weather was difficult, strong wind and frost. This Is Africa!

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…

Group  of the 7 Summits Club - Alexander Abramov, Maxim Abramov and Lyudmila Korobeshko climbed the most popular of the peaks of Mount Kenya, Point Lenana (4985 m). After our management was convinced of the good quality of service provided by the local staff,  they visited  one of the national parks. There they made a unique video of transporting the guilty elephant from one national Park to another…

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!

 Today there was a successful ascent of Mount Kenya by a group of the 7 Summits Club.  Mary Shevchuk and Alexander Mikhailov were members of this group.

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!

Our friend Oleg Pimenov made an ascent to the third highest peak in Africa, Margaret peak.  This is Mountains of the Moon in Uganda.

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."
