Artem Rostovtsev, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from Georgia:

Hello everyone  Kazbek, Refuge Meteostation, is in touch. Namely,  the group "Dog's heart". Today we all visited the top of Kazbek. The weather on the mountain is fine for several days, you need to walk and climb. Which we did. We walked compactly, we were all together at the top.  That's just the plan to escape down to Kazbegi that same day failed, the mountain left no strength. Tomorrow we will go down and celebrate our success.

The preparatory part of the program continued in an amazing place! At an altitude of 4300m, the Khatun Machai rock climbing zone "stone forest" is located, an incredible variety of terrain and lines for climbing. But we agreed that it doesn't look much like a forest, rather like some kind of animal park, where every stone can be imagined alive, or sculptures given. Perhaps, at the moment, this is the highest mountain region where we were engaged in rock climbing. And the most fantastic. But it is not easy to move actively at such a height. The difficulty doubles. We continue to get used to the height. There are plans to move to 4500 in order to spend the night at altitude and also climb, but already a long route of five ropes.
