Day 3

This morning it was raining but then there was suddenly a break at 10 am so we packed everything and moved our camp up to Irikchat, those bivouacs next to the glacier. Today I felt much stronger, heavy in the last uphill but no headache. We met two russians on their way down. Our camp is now at 3700 m. We are trying the satellite phone tonight but it didn't work.

We are on our way.

Need a little rest in between.

Weather keeps changing.

Russians on their way down.

Terje.

Sigvald.

A glimpse of Elbrus.

Almost there.

Windy when setting up tents.

Enjoying the sun.

Our camp is set.

Terje down there to get water.
