In three days he became the first Cuban to climb the 5,642 meters to the top of Mount Elbrus, the highest mountain in Europe located in southern Russia near the border with Georgia. There are no records, at least known, that another Cuban has been able to perform the feat. Which is why this Havanan recalls that he exploded with joy when he managed to climb to Europe\u2019s rooftop.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Yandy N\u00fa\u00f1ez emigrated from Cuba in 2015. He currently lives in Reykjavik, Iceland, where he learned to be a guide on glacier exploration routes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The young 31-year-old Havanan, born in Calabazar, is at the Russian Mineralnye Vody airport while we chat via WhatsApp. The mountaineer speaks in gusts, still shaken by the adrenaline rush that runs through his body after touching the European sky. He checks his ticket and sets off for Moscow. In the air he finishes answering the questions about that feat he keeps in his heart as a medal won in a life or death battle.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_205862\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-205862\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez2-3-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-205862\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez2-3-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez2-3-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez2-3-1-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez2-3-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez2-3-1-750x422.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-205862\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yandy N\u00fa\u00f1ez on top of the Elbrus.

Cuba always has to shine for the Cubans who love it. And I love Cuba, the Cuban people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What kind of preparation does this complex challenge face?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It takes a strong mental and physical preparation, and knowledge about rescue and self-rescue techniques. Having experience with crampons walking on glacier ice, the use of the ice ax. Have first aid knowledge. Everything is important.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I enlisted in the ranks of the Icelandic rescue team and finished the first year. I didn&#8217;t continue because of the language. I carried out 57 mountain climbs throughout Iceland with a guide company for 6 months including the 2 highest: Hvannadalshnj\u00fakur, located 2,110 meters above the largest glacier in all of Europe and the other was Birnudalstindur. I also finished a Hard Ice 1 glacier course. There I learned rescue techniques in glacial crevices and to serve as a guide on the glacier and to descend into the crevices of the glacier.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_205863\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-205863\" style=\"width: 960px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez33-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-205863\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez33-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"960\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez33-1.jpg 960w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez33-1-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez33-1-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez33-1-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez33-1-75x75.jpg 75w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez33-1-750x750.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-205863\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Day for acclimatization in Pastuhova Rock at 3,800 meters.

No, never, forward march to the top.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>How was the process of reaching the top?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We got up at 1:00 am for breakfast and were ready at 1:30 am. We went to catch the snow car at 1:50 am which took us up to 4,600 meters. Just me and the guide.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We started walking at 4,600 meters at 2:50 am and we didn&#8217;t stop at any time, only twice and it was only for 5 minutes. We reached the top a little before 8:00 am, exactly at 7:50 am.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>What was the most complex part of the process?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The hardest part for me was the journey from the base camp at 3,800 meters to the end of Pastuhova Rock at 5,100 meters. Then the ascent continues being hard on the mountain. At around the 5,350 meters begins the part that borders the two summits. You are walking between the two summits of the Elbrus.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Then begins a part called The Saddle, inclined and dangerous at the same time; if you slip you fall and it can be fatal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Passing that point you can at last almost see the top. Seeing the summit, you feel more anxiety and you run towards it full of emotion and joy. Almost crying and in a state of uptight excitement. I ran with all my strength toward it to crown the top with my flag.<\/span><\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_205864\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-205864\" style=\"width: 768px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez-az-vert-1-1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-205864\" src=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez-az-vert-1-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"768\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez-az-vert-1-1.jpg 768w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez-az-vert-1-1-240x300.jpg 240w, https:\/\/oncubanews.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/09\/yandy-nu\u00f1ez-az-vert-1-1-750x938.jpg 750w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-205864\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Yandy N\u00fa\u00f1ez on top of the Elbrus.
