The 7 Summits Club guide Andrey Berezina reports from the Elbrus region:

Elbrus region news. Yesterday, August 30, the 7 Summits Club group "Brusnika" successfully climbed the Western peak of Elbrus. The weather was wonderful, sunny and windless. From the summit, there were beautiful views of the Greater Caucasus Range and far to the north. All participants walked well and felt good.

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from Elbrus:

Hello everyone! Yesterday, August 30, the 7 Summits Club group "Otmorozhennye" (“Frozen”) successfully climbed the Western Elbrus summit 5642m! When leaving, the team was divided into two groups of four people: pedestrians and those who wanted technical support. The hikers set off for the summit from the shelter, without using a snowcat. Unfortunately, two of them, having miscalculated their strength, retreated. They decided that they would try to climb to the summit next time!

The remaining participants reached their cherished goal and then successfully descended! At the dinner, with national cuisine and Caucasian hospitality, an award ceremony was held and medals and certificates were presented for climbing the highest point of Europe!

A guide of the 7 Summits Club Sergey Avtomonov reports from the Elbrus region:

Hello everyone, today our group climbed the summit of Elbrus 5642. The entire group without exception climbed to the highest point. It was not easy for everyone, but we got there! The weather was great, the trail was in good condition, so at 6:13 we were already at the top. On the way, we admired the beautiful views and enjoyed the windless Elbrus. This does not happen often!
