I want to do the 3 tallest peaks in Europe: Elbrus, Dykh-Tau, & Koshtan-Tau.
Elbrus is a no brainer, with a ton of resources out there...
Seems like only a few people do Dykh-Tau each year, which is primarily why I want to go, although looks pretty foreboding and information is scarce.
Shoot me an email if you think our paths will cross and we can figure out logistics... Maybe I can convince you to do one of these other mountains instead
Dych-Tau and Koshtan are located in Bezengi area

Both are over 4 difficulty grade mountains - I guess climbers are spending 3 nights on the wall...
I've been around several times - you can get up to 4100mt without equipment quite easy
