September 5, Russian Adventure Team is heading for the Biblical Mount Ararat (5134m) or Mount Agri as it is also called. It is not technically difficult, but it is pretty hard to get all the necessary permissions to get there. Our team has encountered heaps of bureaucratic barriers trying to arrange permissions. Only in the very last minute we were told that we are allowed to go…
Besides, the logistics is pretty complicated. The Team has chosen to divide in two parts - one going via Istanbul and the other - going via Antalya. The whole team is supposed to meet in Dogubeyazit on September 7, from where the trekking begins.
Expedition Leader - Alexander Abramov (he lead a successful expedition to Everest from Tibet
side this past spring and is organizing another one in the spring of 2004 again).
