Elbrus 2017

Andrey Berezin, head guide of  the 7 Summits Club Elbrus: the group  "Snow white and the seven dwarfs" today climbed to the summit of the volcano Elbrus. The weather treats us, and not surprising – because now there is "Indian summer"! See photos…

Andrey Berezin, head guide of 7 summits Club Elbrus: the group "Snow white and the seven dwarfs" today made an acclimatization ascent to Pastukhov's Rocks...

20 years ago, a team under the leadership of Alexander Abramov, the current President of the company "7 Summits Club" has successfully completed a unique project of climbing the summit of mount Elbrus with a car "Landrover"...

Alexander Dorozhukov, guide of the 7 Summits Club: a group named "No fear"  is beginning to acclimate by the exit on the mountain Cheget. The weather is gorgeous, hope it'll last.

Andrey Berezin, head guide of the 7 Summits Club in the Region of  Elbrus:  the "Snow white and the seven dwarfs" group  went up to the refuge and started to acclimatization. We made the entrance to shelters at 4100. There we had a snow training in self-arrest with an ice pick...

Andrey Berezin, head guide of the 7 Summits Club in the Elbrus region: team "Snow white and the seven dwarfs" made acclimatization on the slopes of Cheget.  In the Elbrus region there is Indian summer and we are enjoying the wonderful weather...

Andrey Berezin, head guide of the 7 Summits Club Elbrus:  the Second autumn ascent on Elbrus happened! The group "Sudden North" is now on the East summit of Elbrus. The whole team reached the summit. Today nature gave us relatively warm September day. And it was  almost calm – 35 km / h wind...

Andrey Berezin, head guide of 7 summits Club in the Elbrus region: the "North Sudden" beginning of the acclimation program in the Northern Elbrus region. We are now on the Mushrooms. At the moment it is the only place where there is a connection. Therefore, all participants are engaged in dialogue at a distance. But I managed to trap under a flag of 7 summits Club...

Andrey Berezin, head guide of the 7 Summits Club Elbrus: so, despite all the disasters in the mountains of Elbrus, a few days of bad weather (and today was also the first half of the day the storm), a group of Pioneers climbed to the Western summit of Elbrus! While at the top the weather was beautiful. Congratulate the boys with the first  autumn climb this year!

 As you all probably know, the road to Terskol destroyed in several places the consequences of debris flow in gorge Adyl-su. Most likely, climbing from Terskol this year will be gone and our guides will be moved to the North side of Elbrus

Alexander Abramov, President of  the 7 Summits Club:

August 28^th  at 5:30 we climbed to the top of Mount Elbrus with artificial oxygen. In preparation for the expedition Everest 2018, the team of  the 7 Summits Club held a new "Oxygen Experiment". Without pre-acclimatization, two climbers  with artificial oxygen and two guides climbed for 4 hours from Pastukhov Rocks to the top.

I believe that the use of artificial oxygen can make the mountain more accessible to the common climbers. In particular, this tool can be used for quick ascents (programs Blitz), when climbers simply no time for gradual acclimatization...
