Mt. Elbrus: Waterfall & Team in Kislovodsk

We're in Kislovodsk! Today we made it one step closer to the mountain. We had an early start in Moscow and then caught a 2 hour and 15 minute flight to Mineralnye Vody. From there it was just an hour drive to the city of Kislovodsk where our hotel is. Once we checked into the hotel, everyone sorted their gear while Pete and I went to a supermarket. We picked up some fresh food for basecamp. We'll be getting an early start tomorrow for the 4x4 road to camp.
Here's a shot from the awesome pizza place we went to for dinner.

Brother Paul, sounds like you are one step closer and ready to jump on the mountain. I will keep up with your team’s climb. Have a safe trip, enjoy the climb…and get it done…less than four months until the next one.
