The guide of the 7 Summits Club Evgeny Fedyunin reports from the Elbrus region:
News from August 8. Hello everyone! The group "Moscow Eagles" of the 7 Summits Club today made an attempt to climb Western Elbrus 5642m! In the conditions of a thunderstorm front and a headwind snowstorm, it was not easy. Sometimes falling knee-deep (and this is in August!) in grainy snow, we were able to get through in 2.5 hours only to an altitude of 5200 m. Then all the groups together made an unambiguous decision to retreat! On the International Day of Mountaineering, Elbrus, as often happens, showed its harsh disposition and character!
In the evening there was a gala dinner with conversations and plans for new Mountains!
