Climbing Kilimanjaro - episode #1
The five-man strong 'dream team', with Sergey Vertelov, Russian Himalayan club president, as team leader, has successfully climbed the Uhuru peak (5895 meters above the sea level). This is, of course, Kilimanjaro, one of the legendary ‘Seven Summits’, Africa’s highest point and world's highest free-standing mountain! For each team member it was the first climb here. Except for Sergey Vertelov, who celebrated his 49th birthday climbing the Big Mountain for the twelfth time…
In the first part of the ‘Climbing Kilimanjaro’ series, the Russian Himalayan club team is making a trip from Moscow, via Amsterdam and Nairobi, to land at Kilimanjaro International airport, Tanzania. Sergey Vertelov introduces ‘Konyagi’, legendary local drink, to the team. In the meantime, he chats with Masai kids. Finally, the team is leaving Marangu Gate, the entrance to the Kilimanjaro National park, for Mandara Hut (2720 meters above the sea level), which is the first stop on the way to the top.
