Mt. Elbrus: The Northside Team Takes a Rest Day

August 10, 2016

Elevation: 12,300'

Sometimes you get thrown a total curveball, which was the case with our Mt. Elbrus expedition today. Apparently there has been a stomach bug simmering in the group, and it reached its boiling point last night. With most of the team suffering and feeling less than 100%, it was an easy decision to stay put and rest and recover today. That ended up lining up well with the forecast, as the next couple of days look better than today or tonight. So with that positive note, we'll get a good night's sleep so that we wake up ready to get back to work. Best, RMI Guides Pete Van Deventer, JM Gorum, and team
