Kili was extremely favorable to us

Man who is not born of my mother, I can call my brother only when we  were together, shoulder to shoulder, and we passed some extreme  test of body and spirit.

 With Victor we passed a merciless slaughter, reached so desired summit and descended into the mountain goats mode, so that the sand on teeth I heard even during lunch

 We've done it, my black Bro! Black-and-white brothers)

Marangг Route 22-29 FEBRUARY 2016. Valery Lavrus made an ascent to the summit of Kilimanjaro with Juliana Morozova. We thank him for the detailed photographic report!

"Kilimanjaro Marathon" took place on February 28 in the Tanzanian town of Moshi in the 14 th time. This time it was attended by about 10 thousand people. Of these, about one thousand were foreigners (from 44 countries). Probably for the first time among them there were representatives of Russia and Ukraine, and it was members of our group of 7 Summits Club. All the prizes was won by athletes from neighboring Kenya. In men, the first was 31-year-old Kiprotich Kirui with a time of 2: 16.43. For women won Alice Kibora - 2: 38.03. The  Guide  of the 7 Summits Club Artem Rostovtsev was also as a kind of a winner - he was ahead of all runners with white skin (Mzungu).

Hi, Seven Summits! It is Artem Rostovtsev from Kilimanjaro slopes. We have again a strong north wind from the equator today. We went out at night on the ascent to the "roof of Africa", and at 7-40 a.m. we were at the top. Unfortunately, one participant was forced to withdraw yesterday. We sent him down (he is already at the hotel in Moshi). Therefore, on top there were only three people and I  form the team of the Seven Summits Club….

Hi, Seven Summits! It is Artem Rostovtsev from Kilimanjaro slopes. Yesterday, our group started to move along the route Lemosho. We quickly came to Shira 1 camp.

Greetings from the slopes of Kilimanjaro!

We want to note that during New Year period (mid Dec 2015 to mid January 2016) 9 groups with a total of 39 people climbed on Kilimanjaro with the "7 Summits Club".

Group climbed from different sides of the volcano, by the route - Marangu, Machame, Lemosho with local Tanzanian and Russian guides.

For someone Kilimanjaro was the first summit, for others it was the next peak after Everest. The youngest participant was 14 years old, the most experienced - 70. They also reached the top of Africa.

32 persons of 39 reached the highest point in Africa (Uhuru peak 5895 m), it is about 84% of successful ascents.

February, 17th  our group completed the program, which included climbing the highest peak in Africa, Mount Kilimanjaro, and a two-day safari in the national parks. Rains at the beginning of the campaign gave way to good weather ... Just see all the photographs ...

Hello, Seven Summits! This is Artem Rostovtsev, from Gillmans point, Kilimanjaro. Gillmans point is the point on the crater, where about half of the climbers ends up with a climb on the mountain. We're not finished. Today we went further, the whole team reached Stella point. Well, after that opinion was divided and half went to the top.  And half were waiting for them below. We met at the Gillmans point…

We were on the top at seven in the morning. Now... the way down to the Horombo hut...

There awaits us a festive meal...

Best regards from the group  “Seven brave” and  their guide Artem Rostovtsev

Dmitry Kasyanov climbed on the highest summit of Africa with assistance of the 7 Summits Club along Marangu's route. Returning home, he sent us some interesting photos.

 "My comment is simple. It is excellent opportunity to change cardinally ambience - other continent, the southern hemisphere, new stars in the sky, people with other skin color, this left-hand traffic on roads, and the wild tremendous nature! It is Tanzania which can be beheld from height of clouds, standing on the highest peak of Africa, Kilimanjaro! It is that you will never forget!"

Hello Seven Summits! It Artem Rostovtsev. My group arrived at the gate of the "Kilimanjaro" National Park. It is Marangu gate, we go via Marangu route. Yesterday we all the evening finally came together. We even had time to see Arusha. This morning we completed the preparation and are now ready to begin the journey to the mountain. Weather - nice, although rainy promise. But we hope that it will be  open at the top. Wish us luck! Another hello from Artem Rostovtsev and from the group (we are 7 people) going to Kilimanjaro.

At the hotel in Arusha

A group of the 7 Summits Club composed of two married pairs:  Alexey and Olga Gribkovs,  Stanislav and Lyubov Naryshkins -  successfully climbed Kilimanjaro by Machame route.

They sent us several pictures:

Our tour in Morocco was passed in one breath, as a separate small life. Fuss of Marrakech form the first minutes dictated a pace of all trip. First thing after plane, hitting the main square Jemaa El Fna Square, you realize how much the world is diverse and colorful. Here, all in one place and at the same time: a restaurant, theater, shopping, circus, book market, concerts and, of course, the real bazaar.

Ascent of Toubkal held within the next two half days. The transition from the shelter to Imlil - spending the night in a shelter - climbing and go back to Imlil.
Everything was easy and pretty quick. By the evening of the third day, I understand that the main purpose of travel is made, and you can relax.

And then - constantly moving with the changing picture of the outside of the machine. I will not list the names of all the sights seen that the first time it was hard to remember. It is to be seen.
See ... inhale the smells, to contemplate these landscapes, to communicate with people who live there and who are happy ... and try to understand another culture, another way of life, a different way of thinking.

Thank you for your help!

Sincerely, Elena Konareva.
