The 7 Summits Club team "Sunny Optimists" did not reach the summit of Kazbek for a number of different reasons
The guide of the 7 Summits Club Artem Rostovtsev reports from Georgia:
Greetings to the 7 Summits Club from the Sunny Optimists group from the slopes of Kazbek! They turned off the sun for us, but we remained optimists. Cloudy, windy and with precipitation are forecast for three days. Therefore, the plan was not changed and tonight, having waited a little for the strong wind to pass, we headed towards the summit. We were diligently looking for a path, later a path and internal reserves. Near the crosspiece, we found a lonely Czech, whom his comrades unfastened from the rope, and they themselves ran towards the summit. By this time, in addition to the wind, precipitation and dense cloud, there was no GPS signal - it is jammed here. We made a reasonable decision to move down and quickly get to delicious Georgian cuisine. We took the Czech with us.
