   Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today, on the second day of acclimatization, our new super-group "Botaniki" went out for training snow exercises in the area of the Refuge of Eleven (4070 m). There we practiced the skill of self-arrest using an ice axe, as well as moving along a snowy slope, individually and in a rope. We made an imitation of a fixed rope, practiced re-climbing, that is, working with the carabiners of the self-belay on the fixed rope. The weather was not kind, there was poor visibility, but there was no wind. Tomorrow is going to be a difficult day, we are going to a serious height – Pastukhov Rocks. This will be a test of our group’s strength. Wait for new news about tomorrow!
