Laura Duncan called in from the flank of Elbrus after the team spent the day reviewing skills under bluebird skies. The plan is to awaken at 2 am and start uphill at 3:30 in the morning. They have hiked up the initial stretch of the route previously so rather than repeat the start of the route, they will head up via snowcat to approximately 15,600′ from which point they will climb towards the summit of Europe!
Everyone is in good spirits and we hope to hear from the team after they have made the round trip and are back in the huts.
Here’s Laura!!
