Gergeti Glacier, Georgia
It is recommended to start the route from Trinity Church - reach it with a taxi that costs 40 Larry and from there start to walk the route. It's long and not easy route, most of it up. Halfway there is a cabin with toilets. As you descend the road back, the path is full of stones and steep. A path of difficult difficulty. Beautifull view in the way. The glacier not so imppresive.
Dangerous, but I was lucky having a a certified glacier guide. We roped up and made a loop back to base camp from summiting Kazbek. We did this to avoid the rockfall on the normal route back. I slipped a leg down a covered crevice, safety of roping up is a must! But it was beautiful and I loved the walk.
Nice glacier and easy to walk on if you know what you are doing with crampons
Superb place, best in surrounding area.
Glacier is dengerous! Kazbek does not like singles! Rope up, use crampons, take mountain guide. Remmember, you have only one live! Bezpieczny Kazbek projekt - Medyk rescue team, Polish charitable team saving climbers live. Let on their base food and medicaments, you do not need. It helps for people.
