Departed Mestia at 4:40 AM bound for Ushguli.
Self-supported. Water was refilled along the route, while all food and required gear were carried from the start.
No major issues throughout the effort. The trail featured several muddy sections following heavy rain the previous day, plus a couple of thunderstorms along the way.
The final kilometers between Iprali and Ushguli were probably the least pleasant of the route, with tall vegetation making running difficult despite the trail itself being runnable.
Ushguli is the standout feature of the route and makes the effort worthwhile on its own. Finishing in the village is a memorable way to end the journey.
