>>379946>You need to take about a week to acclimatizeA week? Isn't that a bit excessive? I'm a total flatlander, permanently residing at 20m above sea level, but you can dump me at any altitude up to ~10k ft anytime, and I'll be good to hit 14k without much trouble in three to four days.
Anyway, a few pics from this year. First mountain I tried was Mt. Elbrus, highest mountain in Europe at 5,642m (18,510 ft), north face approach, far away from all the tourists at the opposite side.
