News of the Elbrus region. The program of acclimatization and preparation for the ascent of Elbrus of a new group has begun.  Today we climbed to a height of 2700 meters on the slope of Mount Cheget.  The path passed along a forest path, which then turned into a zone of alpine meadows.  In the afternoon, we rented the necessary equipment and prepared for the ascent to the refuge National Park.

10.09.  A day of rest at the base camp.

11.09. Acclimatization rotation to Camp 1 (5650m) with overnight stay. The base camp stretches along the slope for 150m, we are at an altitude of 4860m at the very beginning of the camp. There is a wet corner here, there is less precipitation below and above, but there is no better place for a camp. It rains every day, sometimes turning into sleet, most of the time we are in a cloud. But our tents are adapted to this climate, completely waterproof, insulated, with beds and mattresses.

12.09. All participants went down to the base after acclimatization rotation. It's all good. Everyone tolerates high altitude well.  We had shower and rest.
