Nice TR...with a nice edge. Funny, somebody shat about 5 meters from where we were sitting at the saddle in 2007. Terrible.

mixed feelings...People and places are the way they are, I reckon it's sometimes better to accept it with a smile and soldier on instead of whinging, we can't change the world, it's all part of the game called travelling :)
On the other hand your story is so hilarious and on the border of surreal that I had a good laugh reading it! Congrats on climbing Elbrus and overcoming your body's limitations :)
So although I initially didn't like some notions, all in all I'll give you a high vote.
happy climbing!
