The 7 Summits Club super guide Leuan Atabiev reports from Elbrus:

Good evening, friends of the 7 Summits Club. Once again, our club became a participant in the fulfillment of a dream and a path to the realization of the most amazing desires. By the end of the season, a team from Brazil arrived to Elbrus, in a small but significant scale. Our old good and cheerful friend Maximo Kausch, who is a professional in his field and a very experienced climber. He is known for his records of conquering 6000 Andes.

Maximo took on the fulfillment of the dream of one very strong-willed Brazilian, who has been suffering from a severe form of Parkinson's disease for 16 years. He dreamed of climbing the highest point of Europe and, of course, only the appropriate team of the 7 Summits Club is suitable for such a difficult task. And so, after all the successful stages of preparation, accompanied by a physiotherapist and his beloved wife, as well as under the sensitive and coordinated work of the tour leader and guide, on August 31, 2025, overcoming incredible difficulties for himself, Rodrigo Jose Marcio fulfilled his dream and stood on the top of Europe. He showed an example of fortitude and the futility of excuses for his weakness!

Congratulations to the whole team and we are waiting for everyone who is ready to rush to meet their dream! Well, the 7 Summits Club will be a faithful guide to this. In the photographs you will see Nirmal Purja, the famous Nepalese climber, whose group with the 7 Summits Club service climbed in parallel with ours.
