The Elbrus team went for a beautiful acclimatization hike at the Cheget Ski Area, up to around 10,000′, admiring lots of summer wildflowers along the way. The team had a bit of trouble making their way to the ski resort, as a large mudslide caused a road delay for several hours yesterday, after a couple of days of cultural sightseeing in Moscow.

We will post audio updates from the team as soon as they call in once their journey begins!
