Grandfather and Grandson Complete Mount Elbrus Climb Together
Lingam Ravindra Rao, aged 72, and his 17-year-old grandson Anuraag Pokuri successfully climbed Mount Elbrus, Europe's highest peak, on August 14. Rao is the oldest Indian to scale the 5,642-metre West Peak, while Anuraag became the youngest Indian-origin climber to ascend both the West and East Peaks back-to-back in under four hours. Both share the goal of completing the Seven Summits, having previously climbed Mount Kilimanjaro. Their journey highlights a unique grandfather-grandson mountaineering achievement.
