Greetings from the Elbrus region from the "NaKoshkah" group! Today, we climbed the slopes of Elbrus, checked into our favorite refuge, changed clothes and walked to the area of the “Refuge of 11”. There, we held classes on using an ice axe and learned to distinguish it from a carabiner. The weather is foggy, we didn't see any views today again. We continue working.
