Thank for your remark! If you have some information about any special safety issues in Kazbek area, please, post it to me. I have no info on this subject. Thanks again, Alex
I wanted to climb Kazbek when I was in Georgia 2000 and in Russia 2004, but both times I was told the area was dangerous. In Georgia I was told it was off limits because of "bandits" at the time I was there. When in Russia climbing in Bezengi, I was told I could not go towards the Kazbek area of the Caucasus due to much more unrest and less safety in the east. I have not more information than that.
>It is located in the East part of Central Caucasus, in South >Osetia.
The are no such country as South Osetia .
Kazbek (Mkinvari in georgian ) is located in republic of Georgia ......
See at least the wikipedia ...

Untitled CommentAlready a nice page, even if not finished.
Great photos and interesting text.
Make sure to add a section about the safety issues in this area, as it is different from the Elbrus or Bezengi areas.
