The most prominent peak in Europe. Altitude 5840 meters. The 10th highest peak in the world.
The weather was really nice to start with and at 4200 meters were we stopped for acclimatization. The ascent was strenuous but good.
The climb to the summit started off nice. The weather was very cold and the reports were for some wind.
But the weather took a turn for the worst. Visibility down to 10 meters. Then the snowstorm hit us with a vengence.
No way up or down. Hunkered down. The snow storm let up, we resumed our climb. Up.
Photos taken with the Fuji X100S and others ( not posted with the iPhone X ).
The summit of Mt. Elbrus...
Thank you for viewing..
