You have to look quite hard...

You have to look quite hard to see the caravans of people walking up towards Elbrus's main/west peak. Some are further up the hill in small groups as well.
This is the summit view towards the west from Elbrus's east summit. Well worth a visit!

Re: perspective

Yes, the slope to the summit is quite large. As usual on this kind of peaks you feel very small.

Nice "additional" view

I've been on the west summit exactly three weeks ago - great to see the route from this perspective, especially the small "crux" part - traversing between the rocks.

Kind regards,
Herbert

Re: Nice

Thanks.
I just realized I should submit a larger sized version of this photo. The small trains of climbers can hardly be seen on the photo. The "additional" view was interesting for sure and it was also nice to look back at the east summit, when going up the main.
