Good news from Russia. Everyone summited this morning and they’re already back down to the valley and doing a little celebrating. Weather was clear and reasonably warm, albeit a tad windy. What the heck – it’s Elbrus. Mike reports every was strong and did well. We’ll take it.
Tomorrow will be a good day to spend cleaning up, drying off, and maybe taking a leisurely walk above the Cheget ski area. Could be some great views of the mountain. Regardless, nothing but good news from Russia.
