The 7 Summits Club guide Dmitry Semenov sends from the Elbrus region:
Greetings from the slopes of Elbrus! Today our supergroup, which took the name "Assault Bags", climbed to our high-altitude camp, the National Park refuge, at an altitude of 3880 meters. After settling into comfortable trailers, we went to snow and ice training sessions in the area of the Refuge of Eleventh , at an altitude of 4070 m. There we worked on the skills of moving along a snow slope, self-arresting with an ice axe in case of a fall, and also practiced moving along fixed ropes.
