WELL DONE, BOYS: Brothers from Cacak conquered the tallest peak of Europe, and when you hear the entire story, you will be THRILLED! (PHOTO)
- Elbrus is not so technically challenging, but the weather is difficult. Temperature is - 20 degrees, and all the time there are stormy winds - said Milan, one of the brothers
Milan (24) and Mladen (22) from Ovcar Banja have climbed Elbrus on Caucasus, the tallest top of Europe. The expedition lasted 17 days, and the two are the youngest from the entire group.
Mladen is the youngest man with the disability in Europe who climbed this top. Before that, he entered history when he climbed Mont Blanc when he was 17 years old, and last year, he conquered the most inaccessible top in Europe Matehorn.
Mladen is very interesting young man, he succeeded climbing with big deformities of palms and hands. One hand is almost completely dysfunctional, and on the other hand he has only three fingers.
Caucasus expedition started on 1st July and it lasted 17 days, and it included 27 mountaineers from entire Serbia.
- Elbrus is not so technically challenging, but the weather is difficult. Temperature is - 20 degrees, and all the time there are stormy winds. On the top Kezbek in Georgia, we had acclimatization and without much problem, we climbed the tallest tip of Europe - said Milan and added:
His brother confidently said that his greatest goal is to climb Elbrus.
- Elbrus was one of the life goals and i have fulfilled my dream. This is a great result, but i plan on continuing my climbing expeditions with my brother. We plan on going to Aconcagua in South America and Kilimanjaro in Africa. We will see which one comes first. After that, who knows. Himalayas and Mont Everest.
Conquering of Elbrus, besides sport challenge, presented the important existential moment for Mladen's brother Milan, who is now entitled to a hiking scholarship of 36.000 dinars, considering he has conquered this top before he was 25 years old. Mladen received the same scholarship few months earlier.
- Now we can dedicate ourselves with mountain climbing and preparations for our next expedition, although we don't refuse any work, its not foreign for us - said the brothers out loud, the members of the club for extreme sports "Armadilo", who could only count on 10.000 income from grandma's pension.
