- Gergeti Trinity church at 2,170m with Kazbek behind it

The story
Gergeti Trinity has stood on that ridge since the 1300s, on its own, with Mount Kazbek — 5,054 metres, permanently white — directly behind. Georgians hid the national treasures up there when invasions came, because nobody was climbing that in a hurry.
You get there up the Georgian Military Highway, a road the Russians cut through the Caucasus, past a Soviet friendship monument nobody quite knows what to do with any more.
