Summit! The 7 Summits Club "Zero Calories" group has climbed Kazbek and is finishing the program of the visit to hospitable Georgia
The 7 Summits Club guide Artem Rostovtsev reports from Georgia:
The "Zero Calories" team sends greetings from distant but hospitable Georgia! They feed well here. We spent the last few days walking in the fresh air on the slopes of steep mountains. We walked carefully along the paths, did not jump on wet stones, crossed mountain rivers in the narrowest places, and did not try to get under falling stones. So there was no need to worry. And if we had to go out onto the glacier, then only in crampons. An ice axe, rope and various aluminum trinkets are also with us, so we moved safely on the glaciers covered with snow.
Everything would be fine, but we had to make an unbearably long walk to the snowy peak of Kazbek. And we did it! Our company covered the round trip in 15 hours. We chose the best weather for the walk to the summit, so that it wouldn't blow, wouldn't be covered with fog, and wouldn't be covered with snow.
Now all that's left is to calmly and safely descend from the Meteorological Station shelter, which we'll do in an hour.
