Mount Kazbek 2nd August 2024 Expedition News.
Leader: Bekar
7th August 2024 - Making Good Progress
The team arrived in Stepantsminda in the early afternoon of the 3rd of August and stretched their legs by walking up to the Trinity Church. The following day, they moved up to the Altihut where they will be staying for a few nights while acclimatising. On Monday, they walked up to 3650m on the SE Ridge of Ortsveri Peak, and yesterday they moved up to the Betlemi Hut in the morning and walked up to the church above the hut at 4000m. The weather has been very mixed for the team, but they are planning to make their summit bid tomorrow, as it is looking the best day despite it being windy.
