Irina Klimova and Igor Grishkov successfully completed the program, climbing to the tops of the Greater and Lesser Ararat.

Good evening! This is Oksana Kotlyar, a guide of the 7 Summits Club. Our program climbing Elbrus, with traverse to the north, has been successfully completed. Despite the harsh weather conditions, we did it! The guys competed for the mountain. We walked up the knee-deep snow, made ​​a trail. A strong wind hit in the face, the snow was pretty much and zero visibility. There were doubts whether such a risk? But reaching the top, we realized that it is worth! Wind dispersed the clouds and we saw the power and majesty of Mount Elbrus. All the best!
