Topic: His Highness Kazbek / Walking to the summit...

Jacek, I can recommend exploring the Keli vulcanic plateau, located around 42°28’28”N 44°20’7”E. Peaks there reach 3600 m (Sherkhota, Khorisar). Here are some accounts in Russian: http://www.tkg.org.ua/node/4238 (includes a very handy map and a route) and http://bansheezm.livejournal.com/30469.html. Kazbek can be seen from there and the view is otherwise very nice. Unfortunately I cannot recommend any higher summit around – I have too little experience.

I would definitely not advise climbing the glacier without experienced team. Even then it is quite dangerous.
