Svetlana Kotlyar, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:

 Greetings to all from the Elbrus region from the ZUCCHINI team!  We accept your congratulations! After all, today our whole team ascended the highest point in Europe — Mount Elbrus 5642 m!

The weather was the most wonderful: there was not a cloud in the sky all morning and we had a stunning view of the Main Caucasian Ridge. We froze a little on the Saddle, but then the warm July sun warmed us up.

We stood at the top at 7.30 am, and already at 11 we celebrated our ascent in the refuge with champagne.

It was not an easy climb for all the participants, but all the efforts were definitely worth it. The members have realized their dream! For almost everyone, Elbrus became the first peak in their lives.
