The "Hungry Elbrus" project ceremoniously started in Terskol with the "farewell to food" ceremony

August 9. Hello to everyone from Elbrus! The unique "Hungry Elbrus" project started here today. 15 fearless participants gathered to test their strength and try to climb to the highest point in Europe without food. All this is filmed by a whole team of professional operators. Doctor Myasnikov is responsible for the medical aspects. And the ideological inspirer and guide of all this "outrage" is, of course, the legendary Alexander Abramov.

Immediately after arriving at the hotel, all the participants were interviewed. Then they had a ceremonial "farewell to food" - a fabulous dinner with baked lamb.

After dinner, everyone went to the fire, where they spent the evening getting to know each other and asking why each of the participants decided to undertake such an unusual experiment. It turned out that real heroes gathered here, ready to challenge themselves and test their strength.

Everyone solemnly swore that at midnight they would stop eating for seven whole days (more precisely, until the very top of Elbrus).

The die was cast. From tomorrow, everyone only drinks water (tea and honey are allowed in extreme cases).

Super guides of the "Hungry Elbrus" project Alex Abramov, Denis Abramov and Lyudmila Korobeshko.

And also doctor Alexander Myasnikov, cameraman Ilya Gladkikh and the "Zavety" film crew.
