Kazbek 2011

Hello everyone! Says Olga Rumyantseva, from the expedition on Kazbek. This afternoon our group almost full, except one member, climbed to the summit of Kazbek. We were very lucky with the weather. Old-timers say that haven't seen such weather: it was absolutely clear, we saw a spectacular view of the surrounding mountains from the top, and there was no wind. So the ascent was very slow, we broken all the speed records, coming back only in the evening. Now all tired and relax and get ready for tomorrow's descent down and further cultural program. See you!

"Says Olga Rumyantseva, from the expedition on the Mont Blanc (of course at Kazbek! but, there is no doubt, the choice of Georgian drinks was made correctly! :) ed.) Today we have finished preparation for the ascent: acclimatize well held snow lessons, learned to wear crampons and even walk in them.
And if the weather allows, tonight, or rather tomorrow at 2 o'clock in the morning, we will go for a climb. All day today the snow was falling, and only in the evening we were finally able to see Kazbek. Now the weather is good. Bye everyone!"

Good day, Olga Rumyantseva, the mountain guide of 7 Summits Club from the mt. Kazbek  is speaking. Today our group arrived in Tbilisi, where we immediately went to the village of Kazbegi. On the way we admired the local places of interest and landscapes. In Kazbegi stayed in a beautiful guest house. Tomorrow, we plan a walk and preparation to the entrance to the observatory station (Met Station 3680m), where we will go already the day after tomorrow. We are doing well, bye everyone!
