Caucasus: Kazbek & Elbrus
After several seasons in the Polish and Slovak Tatra Mountains and high peaks of the Alps, I decided to visit the Caucasus. I spent 3 seasons in mountains of Georgia and Russia, which resulted in 3 successful ascents on Kazbek and 2 ascents on Elbrus, also as a guide. Those experiences gave me also a possibility to check my strength above 5 000 meters, which was a good test before the planned ascents to the 7 000-m summits of Central Asia in the next season.
