snow. a heck of a lot of snow.

I can’t start again with what a day but it just seems so appropriated! We were punctual at breakfast for porridge (a salty one, not everyone’s taste, mine it was) and even more ponctual to drive to our starting point. Vitaly said it will be a long, hard day and he was right - but also an incredible fabulous one, shared with my mum was so special. The way up eas quickly through a snow field and those would be THE thing of the day. We crossed a huge lava field from 1975s eruption. Our group was, not surprising, a bit separated by the faster and the less faster. At some point we split and up we were those snow fields. They were a bit of a pain because you would break in until the knees or more quite randomly but hey, we had sun, it was a beautiful view and just wow! Additionally the nearer we were on the top, the wind came and blew my mum teice on the ground. All in all we made it almost all of us, two had to turn back earlier but still, very impressive. Up Talbačik is a huge crater with a depth of a couple of hundred meter. As it is often on top of things, they are not the most comfortable places to be so we startes the ascent. With the sun comes also melty snow and we were just even more breaking through and some of us really got to their personal physical limits. At some point it was real big fun because you could slide down the hill. Awesome. All in all we had a good group spirit and we made it down all safely and very happy. Back at the camp awaited us a delicious diner with sushi and a home made special fish soup from Larissa. I was lucky to eat my mums since she doesn’t like it. My mum rocked today. Completely. We walked 24km in total with an ascent of 1400m and with all those snowfields up and down it was even a bigger effort. Very very cool!Baca selengkapnya
