Elbrus(5642) - Page 3

The Supergirls team climbed the summit of Elbrus in 100%. It was hard for everyone, but the weather was for us, just ideal conditions. Wind 0 all day. Everyone is down and everyone is already waiting for new trips with the 7 Summits Club. Hooray!

That day, about 400 people went to climb. Before the summit, we got into a queue of 150 climbers who just wanted to stand on the summit. It's time for the leadership of the KBR to think about building a large platform, since everyone who wants to can no longer fit on the top of Elbrus. And make the ascent along the fixed ropes a paid one.

Dmitry Semenov, the guide of the 7 Summits Club, reports from the Elbrus region:

 Greetings from the Elbrus region from the super team "People with Cats". Yesterday, our whole group stood on the highest peak of our homeland, as well as all of Europe. In excellent weather, at a good pace and in good condition, we climbed.

August 21. Greetings to everyone from Elbrus from the "Starпёрс&kids" group! Today, everyone came to exercise. We stood in a downward facing dog position, warmed up, and finished everything with a plank. Alexey and Elena, who are 60+, it turns out, do a plank every day for 5 minutes. The rest decided to try it too.

It thundered and rained all night, and in the morning a beautiful rainbow appeared. We left for Azau in the rain. We came to the refuge in almost a snowstorm. But it quickly died down. And we walked to Pastukhov Rocks with good visibility, but the wind was blowing quite strong. In 3.5 hours we climbed to the Rocks. The kids ran first. The adults had to strain themselves a little. Then we all quickly ran down to the refuge and then to our hotel on Cheget, where we will sleep the last night before the decisive assault.

Tomorrow we will be accepted to the refuge and that same night - the summit assault.

Greetings from the Supergirls Elbrus group! On the "rest" day, our super team trains to pass the fixed ropes, including with their eyes closed. This is a very useful practice! All the girls are excellent at passing the ropes in large mittens, learning to work with the equipment! The most interesting part is ahead - the ascent! Group guides Natalia Marinkevich and Alexander Abramov.

Hello everyone! The 7 Summits Club "El'Barso" group yesterday went to high-altitude acclimatization to Pastukhov Rocks, up to 4500 meters. The weather was not good. Low clouds, no panoramic views, everything was in milk! But in general, this did not interfere with the task, everything is fine. Today is a lazy day, rest and preparation for the assault!

We will try tonight. Keep your fingers crossed for us!

Take care of yourself! See you in the mountains! Good weather and good luck to all!

Hello to everyone from the southern, but not very warm slopes of Elbrus from a group of Brazilian climbers of Grade 6! Yesterday, almost the entire group of us climbed to the top of Elbrus. Of the 15 participants, 14 reached the highest point. An excellent result, considering the harsh weather conditions.

After the ascent, we went down the mountain, washed ourselves, rested, and in the evening there was a gala dinner with the presentation of commemorative medals from the 7 Summits Club.

Now our Brazilian guests will take home not only memories of incredible adventures on Elbrus, but also beautiful medals that we give to participants in our ascents.

With you were guides Olga Rumyantseva and Leuan Atabiev.

The President of the 7 Summits Club Alexander Abramov reports from the slopes of Elbrus:

Today, August 20, the 7 Summits Club SuperGirls team moved to the Refuge, at an altitude of 3600 m. And went on an acclimatization rotation to the Pastukhov Rocks. The weather got worse as we climbed. But before the snow and rain, we managed to reach our destination and go down. And in the kitchen of the 7 Summits Club, we had a delicious lunch, and then dinner. The weather outside is terrible: thunderstorms, wind, snow. Tomorrow is a day of rest and preparation for the Elbrus climb. And also a photo shoot in dresses against the backdrop of the mountains.

August 20. Greetings to everyone from Elbrus from the group "Starпёрс&kids"! Today we started the day with exercise. We had breakfast and climbed to the Refuge National Park, meeting the bright team of Supergirls with Alex Abramov on the way. Then we went out a little higher than the Refuge of Eleven and held snow and ice classes there. Here we also met the first representative of Belarus on Everest, Alla Kasabutskaya. By lunchtime we went down to the Cheget glade. We found a magical coffee place here. We are getting ready for tomorrow's rotation to the Pastukhov Rocks. We are watching films about the work done during the day, which are edited for us every evening by member Elena.

The 7 Summits Club group of the SUPER GIRLS project climbed the slopes of Elbrus today by cable car.

The techniques of movement and belaying, self-arrest with an ice axe were practiced. Mandatory skills for climbing Elbrus. Group guides Alexander Abramov and Natalia Marinkevich.

August 19. Greetings to everyone from the Elbrus region from the new group "Starпёрс&kids"! Yesterday, our group arrived under the majestic Elbrus. And today we have already run to the cafe "Ai" and Lake Donguzorun, got equipment for rent and outlined plans for tomorrow. By the way, the morning of our group began with a traditional Far Eastern breakfast with red caviar and white fish, which our participant from Khabarovsk Nikolay brought.

Our group is notable for the fact that almost half of the members are teenagers aged 14-17, who run like meteors, leaving behind the honored experienced old guys. But we'll see how everything goes.

Tomorrow we'll climb to Refuge of 11, where we'll conduct snow and ice training.

Hello everyone from the southern slopes of Elbrus! The Brazilian team "Grade 6" successfully completed acclimatization yesterday, reaching the Pastukhov Rocks. August Elbrus is harsh and beautiful in its own way. The team received many pleasant emotions and successfully descended to the village for a day of rest. Today, August 19, our team climbed to our base camp (refuge). And then, following a meeting of guides, it was decided not to postpone the assault. We decided to take advantage of the weather window, which fortunately falls on tonight. At 3 am, our exciting journey to the summit begins with guests from sunny Brazil!

Hello to everyone from the southern slopes of Elbrus from the cheerful Brazilian group Grade 6!

Today we climbed to an altitude of 3900 meters to our refuge. But of course, we did not stop there. After we settled into cozy VIP houses, we went to training snow classes. For classes, we climbed to an altitude of 4100 meters, where we got acquainted with crampons and learned how to put them on, learned how to use an ice axe so as not to cut anyone with it, but to cut (arrest) yourself on a snow slope.

Everyone liked the part of the class when we slide down a snow slope, practicing self-arrest, the most. After lunch, we continued the classes. We learned how to put on harnesses and refasten ourselves on fixed ropes.

This concludes the technical part of the preparation. Tomorrow we will go to new heights to prepare our bodies for the summit of Elbrus.

Guides Olga Rumyantseva and Leuan Atabiev.

We welcome all mountain lovers! So, a new cheerful adventure is beginning for the super-guides of the 7 Summits Club, with an equally cheerful group of climbers from Brazil. It was brought once again by our regular partner, the company "Grade 6". The team consists of 14 people and two tour leaders, led by our old friend Carlos Eduardo Santalena. Today we went on the first acclimatization trip along an interesting route to Mount Cheget to the cafe "Ai", through the Caucasian "tropics" with picturesque views.
