Elbrus Expedition Dispatch

July 21, 2009 – Gibraltar Flag on the Top of Europe!

From the comforts of our lodge in the valley, we have enjoyed reviewing some of our photos from our long and successful summit day.

When we started out from the snow cat, just after 6:00 AM, our headlamps were still on, but it was light and the sky overhead was clear.

Later when we took a break on the traverse into the saddle, the weather was still quite good.

Wonder how long since there has been a Gibraltar Flag on the top of Elbrus?.... Maybe never before!
