Alexander Avtomonov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:
The group of the 7 Summits Club took the name "16-69". Today we went up to our assault camp refuge "National Park". After the placement, we went up to the area Refuge of Eleven. There we conducted training sessions on the technique of climbing on snow slopes. We learned to stop falling with an ice axe on a steep slope. And we also remembered the basics of the technique of moving in crampons on snowy and firn slopes.
