Elbrus, My Waterloo (Seven Summits Quest Book 1)

Elbrus, the highest point in Europe. It's an 18,500' high volcano in the Russian Caucasus and one of the Seven Summits. High winds, cold nights, and a long summit day make Elbrus an unexpectedly difficult climbing objective with a high rate of failure.
Whether you focus is adventure travel or mountaineering, Elbrus is a beautiful mountain and well worth climbing. Thousands of skiers cut turns on the glaciers above base camp. There is a wealth of hidden nuggets of information inside the pages of this book on the reality of climbing big cold mountains in remote places.

"This is the mountaineering journal from my September 2012 attempt. I've tried climbing it twice before, and never been above 16,500'. Elbrus is my nemesis. It's my Waterloo." -- from the Author

Eighty pages of daily journaling from September first to eleventh, with an additional forty pages of appendixes including training program logs, clothing, gear and food information, with links to blogs for more photos, and training and logistics information for the mountaineering or adventure travel reader. Over 20,000 words of text and 17 photos from this trip including on the mountain, huts, hotels, and airports.

This is volume one of the Seven Summits Quest Series. There will be further journals and reports from other mountains around the world in this series.
