Going to Mt. Kazbek

Meet the great people who made it to the summit. I’m proud of those men and women who endured so much and came together to achieve something extraordinary and for a lovely cause. I’m proud of @wildguanabana for being part of making it happen to the beautiful Mount Kazbek.

Mount Kazbek is located on the border between Russia and Georgia. With a height of 5,033m, it’s one of Russia’s 10 highest mountains and it’s the third highest mountain in Georgia. Mt. Kazbek is one of the major mountains of the Caucasus range. It is a dormant volcano, with its last explosion having occurred in 650 B.C.

The beauty of the mountains here is breathtaking. We completed our first acclimatization hike today to 3,000 meter on our adventure to climb the highest mountain in Georgia.

This is my favorite photo of the trip! she alpine climbed with us all the way to the top and then all the way back to the village… in Georgia the myth goes that mountain guides come back as dogs who

live in the mountains
