Mt. Elbrus: Grom & Team Summit!
Update 10:30 a.m. PST:
Success!
It was a wonderful albeit tiring day for all. We started our climb with a 1:00 a.m. wake up call and hit the trail by 3:00. It was a beautifully clear and calm night for climbing. The team did an amazing job at taking care of themselves and pushing hard to reach the highest point in Europe. It took about seven hours to reach the summit and less than half that to descend back to camp. We had a quick lunch and headed downhill for showers and a great celebration dinner with our local support.
Everyone is extremely happy and tired!

Casey Grom and team reached the top of Mt. Elbrus this morning! After spending some time on top to enjoy the views and take some photos, the team began their descent. At 3:00 a.m. PST and back at the Garabashi Hut, Casey sent the photo below showing the team on the summit!
