Mt. Elbrus Ski: Reid & Team Ski from Pastukhova Rocks

June 23, 2016

Posted by: Tyler Reid

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Elbrus Ski

Elevation: 15,500'

Our timing with the weather was perfect today - as I write this, there's a high intensity hail storm making a lot of clatter on the metal roof of our hut. This morning was beautiful. We ascended up to 15,500', a little beyond Pastukhova Rocks, building on our acclimatization. We were treated to some very nice turns on our 3,000' descent back to the huts, and we got a few jealous looks from climbers walking down on foot. Another great day on Mt. Elbrus. Tomorrow is focused on rest, and the next day we'll see if we can ski from the top! RMI Guide Tyler Reid
