"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."

Elbrus Warm-UpClimbed Cheget as a warm-up for Elbrus. Nice peak with great views towards Elbrus and Donguzurun.
Climbed to +-3200m. You need a permit to cross the border zone (since spring of 2018), we didn't have one so we decided to call it a day.

Cheget villiageAn acclimatization for Mt Elbrus. Seemed more like a bump on a ridge to me. Missed our views of Elbrus due to clouds, but great views of a few other amazing peaks.
