Nice hike from Azau and back. A walk through beautiful meadows with the majestic Donguzorun above. No border control. Perfect view over Mount Elbrus to see what is coming up. Good acclimatization...
An acclimatization for Mt Elbrus. Seemed more like a bump on a ridge to me. Missed our views of Elbrus due to clouds, but great views of a few other amazing peaks.

We slept near the top to get acclimatized before climbing Elbrus and enjoyed the dream-like views of surrounding peaks: Ushba, the twin-peaks of Elbrus and the north face of Donguzorun. It was incredible!
