We were so happy that you decided to make the hike again when it was less cloudy. It was great to experience it both ways. I really like the spookiness of the first hike, but obviously the views from the summit were so much better the second time around. Ending the day with a sunset view from the castle was perfect!

We watched it each morning to try and re summit without cloud. No matter how sunny the day was, the mountain seemed to always have cloud gathering around it. The second time we re climbed was about as clear as we saw it the entire time we were on the island (1 month) it was so worth a second climb and it’s not too difficult as mountains go 😊

You climbed it twice! 😮😅

The first time you climbed it was so eerie. The mist, grey sky, and lack of people seemed a bit creepy. The second time with the clear skies seemed much more appealing!! And great views. 👌 That's dedication to do that climb twice. But the area seemed to have great views.

How awesome that you were able to do the hike twice, the second time is definitely beautiful from the peak especially with the drone of the mountains and the turquoise sea water.

I really enjoyed the fascinating journey back down the forest side too, it was like an added bonus instead of us backtracking. This has reminded me how much I'm looking forward to going back at some point. The whole island really has something special about it. Thank you and very best wishes!

So true! Not something we say everyday either! 😂

Stunning view from the mountain top! The aftermath of the strom looks relatively mild considering how scary it looked on camera. Looks like you are avid climbers. Have you done the National (or Yorkshire) Three Peaks challenge back in the UK? Before heading off to Everest base camp I could recomend doing something easier, like Elbrus (the highest peak in Europe). I went there with some friends on 7th of July 2007 (7/7/7) and it was brutal! The weather changed mid way through our final ascent and we couldn't even reach the "saddle". But it was still worth it. We climbed from the North, which is the original route but it's more dangerous as it is pretty much disconnedted from civilisation. Southern side is more "touristy" with ski lifts, hotels, etc. Alternatively, you could climb Mont Blanc, which is a tad shorter and you won't need visas to get there.

@TideKnotTravellers

We have a few more scenes of the aftermath of the storm coming up, some areas were a lot worse but we moved to this side of the island as it was less damaged (hence it had power back on). We haven’t done all 3 peaks we have done 1 of them, Skafell Pike (the biggest in England) we planned to do Snowdon a few years ago and it got cancelled due to work commitments but we’d like to do it at some point. Elbrus sounds like a great idea too, how long did it take to get as far as you did with Elbrus?

After a short bus ride from Kislovodsk to Khurzuk it's a 6 days hike to the high camp, a day of rest, then the summit day (our failed attempt), then 2 days to get back to Kislovodsk via Dzhily-Su. To get there we took a train from Tallinn to St. Petersburg, then another train to Moscow, then a flight to Mineralnye Vody, and a coach to Kislovodsk. After the hike it was pretty much the same trip in reverse.
