Hi Jonh:
Thank you very much.
Yes, in Elbrus I was carry all my equipment from Terskol, the first day I arrive to end of the first lift and left any material under snow,and back down to sleep in Terskol, the second day go up to final of the second lift taking the material of the before day and come back to Terskol, the thrid day Take all material and go up to Barrels and the next day to Priut. Two days after to the north face and summit.
Is a bit more long and hard, but I climb my self. I was see a Scottish expedition who arrive to Priut by lift and snow cat, and when they go to summit, they take anther time the snow cat until Pastukov rokcs, and my question is... what mountain have they reach?
I don´t unworthy of who take the lift, but I can´t do it to reach one mountain the first time. If I come back to Elbrus, may be that take the lift (I don´t know). But I think that I never come back to this mountain, don´t like me. Very dirtiness and the russians don´t like neither. (very bad experiences with the russians, police, shops,...)we are only $$$$$ walking.
Bye, have a good climbing with yours efforts
