Three mountain lovers decide to increase the altitude every year to improve their own records and set more exciting goals for themselves. At Challenge Days they will talk about how they prepare and organise themselves for each next challenge.
There comes a point in the life of the average mountaineer when he says to himself.I need to upload something higher to see how it is." The height is different for different people, but the important thing is to get out of the comfort zone. If your elevation is 5,000 feet, Georgian Prime is a beautiful and accessible destination.
This is the motivation of Peter Pirovski, Veselin Istatkov and Nia Treiman to go to the Georgian Kazbek (5033). Kazbek is an attractive goal for those new to high mountains, as well as for those who like less commercial destinations. The three adventurers are making the arrangements for their first five-thousander on their own.
They'll tell you about the preparation beforehand, the climb itself and everything you can't find out over the phone heading to the top.
Petar and Veselin are programmers and Nia is studying and doing translation. All three have been keen mountaineers for years, but together they started aiming higher over the years. Their first such ascents were of Grand Paradiso and Mont Blanc, and this summer they chose Cazbec with the idea of increasing the altitude each year. They insist on organising their own trips, as this way they think through every part of the route and fully explore the areas they visit. Translated with DeepL.com (free version)
