Kazbek 2019

Artem Rostovtsev, guide of the 7 Summits Club: Hi 7 summits! Team Rosary reports on the successful ascent of Mount Kazbek. All members and guides reached the top.  All you had was to wait out the day and in fine weather visit the top. But that's not all the exploits for today. From the summit we ran down to Kazbegi almost without stopping. And the end of the day – it was a gastronomic ecstasy.

Greetings from the slopes of Mount Kazbek, from a group with an original name "Gastronomic ecstasy"! What other name could come to mind after the torture of delicious Georgian cuisine. Everyone noticed the signs of lack of appetite after the 5th and one 4th meals.

 From food we are distracted the need somewhere to go or walk. As a rule, from table to table, for a new gastronomic ecstasy. Or rent for equipment, or up to the shelter,  then we have a plan to go higher.

The mountain is difficult to discuss, they did not show due to the thick fogginess and cloudiness. Unlike food.

Day plan trips was done, we reached the refuge at 3000+. Left to eat again.

And legalize the new name of the group - "Rosary" – see our girls below…

 Artem Rostovtsev, guide of the 7 Summits Club from Georgia:

Georgia. Kazbek. We had a plan, a program, and the weather adjusted to us. We got a day and a half of great weather neatly in the days of climbing. Here's the rest of the team also decided to use this window. We had to figure out how not to crowd with anyone on top. And we started early and perfectly calculated the right pace on the rise. In the end we were 20 minutes on the top alone. And then the crowds, the crowds arrived.

And now we have a whole day for wine-gastronomic ecstasy.

Artem Rostovtsev, the 7 Summits Club guide:  Georgia. Kazbek. Meteorological station. 3600m. We have a plan and we stick to it. And the weather adapts to us. Today we moved from the refuge Altihut3014 to the Kazbek meteo-station. It was not enough. And after lunch we went up another 300 meters to the chapel. The extra walk was only a pleasure. Tomorrow we will walk to the glaciers, work out, deal with the equipment, so that no technical issues remain. And the next day, when we plan to reach the top, everything will pass smoothly.

A new group starting to climb Mount Kazbek under leadership of Artem Rostovtsev. Team alreary reached a new refuge Altihut3014. Everything is OK, the refuge is excellent and almost empty.
