Background

Mount Kazbek (5047m) is one of the most beautiful peaks of the Caucasus and like Elbrus it is not technically difficult but at over five thousand metres it requires a good amount of energy! It forms the border between Russia and Georgia. From the small town of Kazbegi we climb to the Betlemi mountain refuge on the southern slopes of Mount Kazbek. Given good weather we will acclimatise on the nearby Mount Ortsveri (4365m) and then make our ascent of Kazbek in the early hours whilst it is cool and the snow conditions are good. The summit provides fantastic views of the Caucasian peaks stretching out to Elbrus 200kms away.
