A Guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from the Elbrus region:
10.09. Hello everyone! The individual group of the 7 Summits Club "Spartans" climbed the slopes of Elbrus today and went to the Refuge of 11 at an altitude of 4100 meters. There, in conditions of clouds and snow hail, we successfully held snow and ice training. In particular, we worked on the technique of self-arrest with an ice ax.
On the descent, we visited the Museum of Military Glory at the Mir station at an altitude of 3500 m.
The situation on the pendulum cable car is critical. The new roads are closed for maintenance, and the "old lady" cannot cope with the number of people wanting to go up and down! Every day passions run high here...
