Kazbek 2025

The 7 Summits Club guide Viktor Volodin sends from Georgia:

Greetings to everyone from the "Syty Kazbek" group! And the well-fed will not enlighten the hungry. And so we put a bold point in the form of khinkali! Yesterday, the entire group in full health and sanity climbed to the top of Kazbek. Congratulations and awards to everyone!

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Viktor Volodin reports from Georgia:

 Latest news from the group "Well-fed Kazbek". Today our team in full force climbed for acclimatization to an altitude of four thousand meters, to a small chapel located above the Meteorological Station. Then we held theoretical classes on equipment, remembered how to put on crampons on high-altitude boots and also tested all the equipment in practice. After lunch there was rest and preparation for an early start to the ascent. The group members feel great, their appetite is good.

The 7 Summits Club guide Viktor Volodin sends from Georgia:

 Warm greetings from sunny Georgia! Today the group "Well-fed Kazbek" left the lodge "Altihut" (3014 m) and, slowly, in good weather, reached the Meteorological Station, also known as the refuge "Betlemi Hut", at an altitude of 3650 meters. We settled in, rested, ate, enjoyed the views. The participants and the guide are feeling great.

 Big greetings from sunny Georgia from the group "well-fedKazbek"! Today our whole team started from the village of Stepantsminda in the direction of the summit. Before leaving, each participant threw in about 50 khinkali and khachapuri, washing it all down with saperavi. Then we got to the church by car, from where our path ran along a picturesque path, through the Sabertse pass (3000 m), and after lunch we reached our goal. We checked into a very comfortable lodge "Altihat" with all the amenities. The participants feel great, their appetites are good.

Greetings to everyone from sunny Georgia! Or, more precisely and briefly, gamarjoba genatsvale! A new group of the 7 Summits Club in full force, but without a name yet, started today from Tbilisi and safely reached Stepantsminda. Our ascent of Kazbek begins.

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.

The guide of the 7 Summits Club Artem Rostovtsev sends from Georgia:

 Greetings from hospitable Georgia! Our group called "Zero Calories" yesterday began the ascent program of Kazbek. Of course, it was not easy to leave behind the comfortable ROOMS hotel, but we managed. We reached the Deka hut (3000m), almost without getting caught in the rain. Today we couldn't afford to say goodbye to this cozy hut and move higher to the Spartan shelter of the Meteostation. Before lunch, which we had to postpone a bit, we walked past the paths to the nearby peak. Now it's time for a well-deserved rest.

We eat well, heartily. Once again, hello to everyone from the "Zero Calories" group!
