Elbrus Expedition Dispatch
July 8, 2014 – A Special Summit Day
July 8th was a very special summit day for a superb team of BAI climbers and guides as we reached the summit of Mount Elbrus together.
Tom Gormley, at 14, became the youngest BAI climber to reach the summit of Elbrus. Lesley Suranyi, who was born in Hungry in 1942 and who has practiced medicine in Canada since 1975, was not our oldest-ever Elbrus climber but he certainly deserves honorable mention!
We were proud that our team of guides and climbers represented 5 countries, Canada, Sweden, USA, Ukraine, Karbidino – Balkaria in the Russian Federation.
Here are a few more photos from and amazing day.
