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….

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.
