Today, just sort of a chill day at Terksol village. Getting to enjoy the culture and people. The village is right in the valley floor of a drainage in the Caucasus Mountains in southwest Russia. The mountains are beautiful, the whole landscape is beautiful. The tall pine trees all around in the valley are like Montana, but glacier covered peaks peek out at you like mini Himalayan’s. Rolling foothills nearby are exactly how I imagined Europe, they’re just missing sheep. The skiers and snowboarders are just like being at a terrain park, and the techno is like a club. In the short hours we’ve spent here, I’ve noticed that the people here play any music at any time. Heavy metal plays along with American rap, and classical Russian singing, all at breakfast. It keeps it interesting. So in our wanders today we checked out a couple peaks that have good looking routes on them. We have some extra days here after our summit, so we are looking around for good climbs and don’t need to look far.
