980519-22 - Kazbek Summit via Gergeti glacier

*** The 1st part of the track until camp 2 is in reverse mode because it's for return way down. but the timing of the 2nd part (attack to the peak is exactly right). Anyway the track path itself is correct.

****
Be careful about the Gergeti glacier, there may be lots of cracks and grooves and also in the way peak there many be lots of snow traps.

The route is really wonderful ! you have a view of the peak all the way up and down except some part of the route. Walking on the ice is really challenging and fun :)
Look at the waypoints' descriptions.
