Mt. Elbrus: Justman & Team Take Advantage of Clear Weather and Acclimate to 15,000’

July 22, 2016

Posted by: JJ Justman

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Elbrus Southside

Elevation: 15,000'

We survived another stormy night up here on Elbrus. It definitely is nice staying in a hut rather than tents. Especially when lightning strikes and the whole ground rumbles underneath. It looks like Elbrus got that nasty weather out of its system. Later this morning the sky cleared and for the first time the team saw the mountain! We took advantage of the day and went up to 15,000 feet to acclimatize. The team did great and we are now resting back at camp. It is still a little windy so we are waiting and watching for the right opportunity to make a summit push. RMI Guide JJ Justman
