Sunrise on Elbrus (Jonathan Schrock)
We received word from Sasha this morning that the weather forecast was accurate. The team was up early to check conditions and made the easy call to hang tight for the day. “A mix of snow and rain came down most of the morning and is now starting to clear.” All good news and having another day to acclimatize is never a bad thing! The plan for tonight is to wake up and hit the trail at 3am and the weather forecast is looking good for the climb. We will keep you updated on the progress from Mount Elbrus as we hear more.
All is well on Mount Elbrus!
