Tomorrow myself and Michael head off to Russia to climb and ski Elbrus – the highest mountain in Europe at 5642m. It’s going to take us a while to get from the UK to the area of the mountain and then spend a few days acclimatising but hopefully with good weather and snow conditions we can make a ski descent.
In the past few months I’ve been putting a lot of time into running and getting the lungs going well, so hopefully all shall be well. Other projects in the summer include – run the Cotswold Way in a one go – a total of 104 miles, guide on Kilimanjaro and get some more new rock climb routes done in the UK.
I will try and keep updates of our trip for those that are interested. Below is a picture of the equipment being sorted for the trip. Here we go……
