 March 13th. Greetings from Africa! This morning, our Space Team climbed on the summit of Kilimanjaro - Uhuru Peak! It was not easy - the wind and cold, but the views from the top and the fact that we managed to overcome themselves paid off all the difficulties.

At the top, we opened a bottle of champagne and photographed Klim's book (we also did not forget to take pictures of ourselves). Already in the Kosovo camp, we were hit by hail, but this did not overshadow the joy of victory.

Now we have gone down to the Millennium. We wash off and eat off. We're going back to civilization tomorrow.

The group Super Girls of the 7 Summits Club celebrates the successful ascent on the descent from Kilimanjaro. The participants and guides spent the night at the Horombo hut. In the morning, after breakfast and traditional dances by the local staff, the team went down the valley. To continue the celebration at the hotel.

Greetings from Africa!  From Barranco camp at 3900m on the slopes of Kilimanjaro from the Space Group! Yesterday we made the trek to the Shira Cave camp. On the way, we met two species of African mice, a dozen brazen white-necked ravens and many endemic plants. An evening of song and dance was held in the camp before dinner. Our Tanzanian team sang to us in Swahili, and we answered them with Katusha. Everyone was satisfied.

We had dinner with borscht with garlic and all sorts of pickles, went to bed early, because the next day there was a long walk ahead.

The morning of March 10 greeted us with a stunning sunrise and fragrant Ethiopian coffee (thoughtfully purchased at the transfer in Addis Ababa). We started at about 9 a.m. in parallel with our friends, the "26 Baku commissars" (a large group of Kenyan climbers).

After 3 hours of climbing, a tea point was set up. An hour later we had lunch near the Lava Tower at 4600.

After lunch, we started to descend towards the camp. The rain scared us at first, but it stopped quickly. On the way, we arranged a photo shoot with incredibly beautiful thickets of senecia. We went down to Barranco's camp almost at 6 pm. Tomorrow we will storm the Barranco Wall. Getting ready - sharpening ice axes, checking platforms (joke). In fact, we are taking a shower (partially) and plan to drink some white at dinner.

News from Kilimanjaro, the Super Girls team. Today, all 9 girls climbed Mount Kilimanjaro.  5 of them go to the Main Peak. And 4 - to the edge of the crater, at Gilmans Point.

Everyone is happy. This is the first success of the Super Girls project. All the Girls are on fire! This ascent will always remain in my heart…

Greetings from Africa! From the Machame camp at 3000m on the slopes of Kilimanjaro from the Space Group!  Yesterday we started our ascent of Kilimanjaro. During the first day, we reached the Machame camp at an altitude of 3000. On the way, we got soaked through under a tropical downpour. But by sunset, the downpour had stopped. So we had a chance to admire both the sunset and the stars. Today we go further, at 3900, to the Shira camp.

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

Today is March 8th. Congratulations to the whole Supergirls team! Flowers for 4800! Masai jewelry and silver heart pendants with a gold ice axe.  Then cake and hugs.  All the girls are still in shock.

Tonight we are going to storm the summit of Kilimanjaro. Wish us good luck!

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

Today, our Super Girls team heroically moved from Camp Horombo 3800 to Camp Kibo 4800. We are at the very foot of the mountain. A fine snowball is falling. But we are not discouraged! After all, tomorrow is a Day of rest and celebration on March 8th.

We have prepared gifts for the girls. Which ones, we will write tomorrow!

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

Today on Kilimanjaro, the SuperGirls team had a rest day at the Horombo 3800m camp. But, of course, we did not waste it on felting.  And they staged a powerful photo shoot.

At first, in team jackets.  And then in safari, dresses and swimsuits. We didn't post all the photos... eh!

The mood is great, everyone is having an afternoon nap now. Tomorrow we will move to Kibo camp at an altitude of 4800 m.

All the girls of the 7 Summits Club - happy 8th of March!

Alexander Abramov, President of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

It rained all day. From lunch to evening. The team reached the Horombo Hut. The height is 3800. Now everyone is tired and passed out to sleep. All the participants feel good. Only we can't dry our shoes for two days. But the girls are not discouraged. After all, this is the SuperGirls team! Tomorrow will be an interesting day of rest. We're going to do a photo shoot at Zebra Rocks.

Anastasia Kuznetsova, Manager of the 7 Summits Club: Today our SuperGirls team went on the Marangu route on Mount Kilimanjaro.

It rained for almost 5 hours, all the way to Mandara Hut. But we were not discouraged. The girls are great fighters! We did it!  In the evening, we celebrated the birthday of our cameraman Ilya Gladkikh. Everyone is happy. Tomorrow we move to the Horombo camp at 3800.

The program of the 7 summits Club "Climbing Kilimanjaro" by the Super Girls group under the leadership of Alexander Abramov began today. The Masai song and dance ensemble came out to meet our beauties. It turned out great!

Kristina Putintseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:
The Puppy Patrol group descended from the slopes of Kilimanjaro on February 20. The descent was long, but fast. We rejoiced, sang songs that even the climbers passing by applauded and danced to us. In the evening we were already at the hotel, where we found our heroes. Everyone received certificates and medals for climbing to the highest point of the continent! We also shared with each other our impressions and emotions about our journey.

Greetings from the highest point of the continent from the group "Puppy Patrol"! We made the ascent with the full complement of 9 participants and 2 guides and are now descending from the top. We'll send you the details later when we get to the camp. Guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Kristina Putintseva.

Kristina Putintseva, a guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Tanzania:

 The Puppy Patrol group sends greetings to everyone from the slopes of Kilimanjaro! Today we overcame the difficult path from Karanga camp to Barafu, and then climbed higher, to the Kosovo camp. After a hearty lunch, we discussed plans for the upcoming night, as we have a long climb to the highest point of the African continent ahead of us. We have to overcome more than 1000 meters of altitude. Therefore, after completing the preparations, we go early to recuperate in our sleep.

Jumbo, Rafiki! Which means, "Hello, Friends!" Today we overcame the beautiful Barranco wall, strolled through the stunning valleys, enjoying the stone-desert, then grassy-green landscapes.

After a delicious hearty lunch, we went for a walk to gain some more altitude. In the evening, we have planned gatherings with board games and discussion of tomorrow's plans. Guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Kristina Putintseva.

Greetings from the slopes of Kilimanjaro! Today, the Puppy Patrol group made a long and exciting journey from the Shire camp to the Lava Tower, where we had a delicious lunch. Next, we went to the camp under the Barranco wall. On the way, we enjoyed incredible landscapes and strange but beautiful plants, took pictures, and sang songs…

The trek was not easy for us, but everyone coped, now we are replenishing our strength with a hearty delicious dinner. Guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Kristina Putintseva.

A group that called itself the "Puppy Patrol" gathered at the foot of Kilimanjaro to climb to the highest point in Africa. Yesterday we spent the whole day collecting and checking equipment. And today we are going on one of the most exciting adventures – Kilimanjaro along the Machame route.

Guides Evgeny Fedyunin and Kristina Putintseva.

Greetings from the White Walkers group from the slopes of Kilimanjaro! This morning started with dancing and warm words. Next, we had a long but fascinating descent through the jungles of Kilimanjaro. We were very lucky to meet colobuses, monkeys that live only in these forests.

The long-awaited gala dinner ended with the presentation of medals and certificates in a romantic atmosphere under a starry sky and a bright bonfire flame. These moments will remain forever in the hearts of our participants! No one wanted it to end! And after that, we shared our impressions and made plans for the next mountains.
