Mt. Elbrus: Northside Team Arrives Base Camp
Posted by: Pete Van Deventer, Seth Waterfall
Categories: Expedition Dispatches Elbrus Northside
Elevation: 8,300'
If success is defined by waking up, having a good breakfast, climbing to a new height on Mt. Elbrus, getting our cache gear on place, and most importantly, getting down before the rain started, then we had a spectacularly successful day. It was a beautiful climb up to our cache site 11,500', with plenty of great photo opportunities, and everyone got a chance to stretch their lungs out after the last several days of traveling by planes and automobiles. The rain was kind enough to hold off until we got back, and with any luck, it will clear out tonight, setting us up for a move to camp1 tomorrow. We'll let you know how it goes!
Best from Russia,
