The highest and one of the deadliest mountains in Europe, Elbrus attracts adventure travelers of all types. Skiers can ski from 5000 meters elevation down a deceptively mellow looking glacier. Mountaineering groups go to attempt climbing the highest peak in Europe. Skyrunning, a sport of fast ascent trail running on steep vertical terrain is a long tradition on the slopes of Elbrus.
Elbrus Race is one of the skyrunning races held on this dormant volcano in the Caucasus Range of Russia. The twin peaks attract some of the worst weather and coldest temperatures. Every year several mountaineers climbing on Elbrus, even seasoned professional guides, die in whiteouts and storms.
Author Charles Miske returns for another attempt at Elbrus Race, having been pulled from the race in 2010 after a bout of dysentery. He brings with him his climbing partner Todd Gilles, a champion figure skater and new to the sports of mountaineering, trail running, and skyrunning. Together they form Team Seven Summits Quest and set their sights on the summit of Elbrus.
Read the daily accounts of their travels and trials as they find victory amid failure as both the Qualifying Run and the Race take place in storms and high winds. If you love adventure travel to remote foreign lands, mountaineering and climbing, and want the motivation to go after your own dreams, you must read this book.

I have goosebumps sitting here recapping this book in my mind. Not only is the quality of the book and it's writing/editing the usual 'good job', the journey of the author is incredible. I wish I had half the endurance this man has for pushing himself toward his goals. Then when he was at the very edge and had to make a decision, he put others before himself, and I cried for him, yet felt joy that he could prioritize reality when dreams are hanging in the balance.This is really a gift that he keeps notes and journals and shares all of this with us. There is much to learn, even for people who aren't into mountaineering and related lifestyles. I found myself wanting to fight harder toward my own goals after reading this and Mr. Miske's other books. I'm glad he has once again returned home safely and I hope he has many more adventures.... and WRITES about them for us!
Well done, Charles.

Elbrus Race 2013 Seven Summits Quest Book 4 eBook Charles Miske Reviews
Having never read about or experienced mountaineering and extreme incline races before, I thoroughly enjoyed the author's firsthand recount of his and Todd's experience in Elbrus Race 2013. I am in awe of their accomplishments, and have an even greater respect for their quest and dedication to their dreams. I can't wait to hear more!
I read this an immediately turned around and had my pre-teen boys read it as well. Interspersed with the adventure itself are some great survival in the cold techniques that will make their Klondike outing with the scouts safer. I love that the author chases his dreams with a passion and shared the experience with a friend who was kind of a newbie at this. Their friendship also transpires through the book.
