well... i can't really imagine it to be very lovely to be in snow and cold and to be tired and no air...
but it will be interesting
i think Elbrus is a piece of cake compared to Lenin. in Elbrus i didn't really get the feeling like I'm far from civilization. also in the snow area was quite small. it's like you can get away from there almost whenever you like (unless there is a storm), it's just a few hours walk. and there were much tourist and skiers. but on Lenin there should be three camps in the snow area. only the base camp is not in snow. and only shepherds live there in yurts (beside the other mountain climbers). but generally Lenin is similar in this behalf, that it doesn't require much technical skills, mostly it's just walking.
this summer it was proven that i don't really care much about reaching to the peak so as a goal in itself it won't work for me. i should find some other stimulating force. i was thinking it could be just a test of willpower. this time i will have a better idea of how it will be and i'lle be more prepared psychologically.
now i should start training more regularly. i already quit smoking. i actually planned to do it later, but i couldn't wait... the idea of quitting was just so disturbing - i had to quit, so that i could stop thinking about it
