Lunch after a hard training day (Phil Ershler)
What better way to end a long day of training than to sit down to a relaxing meal with your comrades.
After another night spent in Terskol, the crew will kick off the climb with a tram and ski lift to the Barrels Hut on Elbrus followed by a hike to their private hut at 13,500′ where they’ll acclimatize for a day before their summit attempt.
