Elbrus from the North

  • Next tour:
  • custom made tour is possible

A difficult trip to the Caucasus, only for experienced tourists with good physical training and strong motivation. When climbing, you need to walk in a bunch, use an ice ax and cats. If you do not already know how, during the acclimatization the instructor will teach you the basic technique, but this does not mean that everything will be easy and simple. The presence of high-altitude experience (long stay at altitudes over 3000m) is welcomed. The ascent to the Eastern peak of Elbrus from the north side will take place along the classical route, there are no tricks or innovations there.

Climbing Kazbek, Georgia

  • Next tour:
  • custom made tour is possible

To understand the peculiarities of the ascent to Kazbek, it would be logical to compare it with the ascent to Elbrus. On the one hand, Kazbek is simpler, there are no volcanic gases in the atmosphere and it's much easier to breathe. The same miner usually starts here only at an altitude of 4800 m - on Elbrus she can easily "attack" another 3600 (even with the correct acclimatization schedule). At Kazbek, the assault camp is much closer to the summit, on the day of the ascent it will be necessary to climb only 700 meters (from 4300 to 5033 m). For comparison, storming Mount Elbrus from the North, it is necessary to fly up to 1900 meters per day (from 3740 to 5621). But on the other hand, on Kazbek, the road to the summit passes through a much more rugged terrain - there is a very steep slope with a huge number of cracks. Therefore, almost all the time we will move around in bundles. We must not forget about rockfalls ... In general, it will be fun - join :)
