The highest mountain in Europe, Mount Elbrus is a dormant volcano and one of the Seven Summits. It is part of the Caucasus Mountains which stretch for 880km from the Black Sea to the Caspian Sea. That form the physical barrier dividing Europe and Asia. With its double summits, Elbrus dominates the Central Caucasus. Zapadnaya, the western peak, is the higher of the two at 5,642m, while Vostochnaya, the eastern peak, stands at 5,621m. The mountain is covered with a massive sheet of ice and from the col that divides the two peaks. The snow slopes descend to the many tongues of ice and crevasses lying in the valleys.
The climb is suitable for those moving on from high altitude peaks like Kilimanjaro and wishing to start progressing to mountains which require additional skills such as moving on snow and ice. A reasonable level of fitness is required. It is a demanding trek that includes an average of six hours of walking per day. With summit night requiring between 12 and 15 hours. It can be a tough, physical challenge. The primary hazards are the high altitude and poor weather.
Climbers will need to be familiar with the basic use of crampons, ice axes, and ski poles. We have designed a skills training course especially for those travelling to a region and landscape like that found on Mount Elbrus. We recommend you complete this before travelling. To facilitate proper acclimatisation, we have scheduled into our itinerary specific acclimatisation days. To allow our bodies to adjust for our summit attempt, with training climbs and walks in the Baksan Valley.
Our adventure begins in Moscow. We have a brief stop-off here before catching our flight to Mineralnye Vody and then on to our base at Terskol in the Baksan Valley. Before our attempt on Elbrus, we spend a few days in the spectacular valleys surrounding Elbrus, acclimatising, training, resting and waiting for a break in the weather. The Normal Route presents a long climb over a medium incline that requires proper acclimatisation but has no real technical difficulty. The simplicity of this climb is not to be underestimated. However, as apart from the altitude, the highly variable weather and frequent violent storms. Combined with low temperatures (as low as -20 degrees), means that this ascent is a real high-altitude adventure.Social media:
