The mountain put us through our paces a bit

The programme has come to an end and there’s a bit of a void now. Everything was brilliant; the mountain really put us through our paces a bit. The group was brilliant and close-knit; thanks to our team leader, Anastasia Domanova, we all made it through – she’s a treasure trove of useful information and a walking first-aid kit. By the way, Nastya celebrated her birthday at the summit. She’s experienced and professional.
