Mt. Elbrus: Grom & Team Acclimating Hike Towards Pastukhova Rocks

July 14, 2016

Posted by: Casey Grom

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Elbrus Southside

Elevation: 15,000'

Hello again everyone. The weather continues to be beautiful here on Mt. Elbrus for us. We started the day with a nice breakfast and then set out on our last acclimatizing hike just before 9:00 a.m. The team did a great job as we made our way up to about 15,000', and it took us only about three hours. We stopped along the way to take a few breaks and enjoy the view. After reaching our high point we made our way back to camp just in time for another enjoyable lunch. Since then it's been nap time for most of us as we continue to adjust the time change and seek refuge from the sun. Everyone is doing well and in good spirits. RMI Guide Casey Grom and crew
