Elbrus(5642) - Page 51

Hello! This is Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of Climb Elbrus program. My group Todos Huntos made a successful ascent. We did it yesterday, in strong winds and not very favorable weather. But, nevertheless, we made the ascent at a very good pace. Well done! All members of the group. And we went down, unfortunately, not as planned - to the North, but back to the South. Due to bad weather, we decided that would be safer go back, where more people, less cracks. So we went down to Terskol, everything well.

Hi! It says Vladimir Kotlyar, a guide of the program Climb Elbrus. Today we had a heroic attempt to climb to the top. Weather was crystal clear, but very, very, very strong wind. We went up to the height of 5550, and from there unfortunately we had to turn back. Because it was really dangerous. Now we sit in the refuge and look at the Elbrus: not just a cloud, beautiful view, but snowy flag fluttering in the 2 km - from the Western top to the Eastern.

So here we had such a heroic attempt. All the team was great. Turn around - it's a decent thing to do. Dmitry and Valera descend to the north and we are waiting for news from them. The rest of the group is now resting on LeapRus Refuge, tomorrow we will go down to Terskol. All the best!

Hello everyone! It is Vladimir Kotlyar, the new group began its work on the program "Climb Elbrus". Today is our first day of acclimatization. And now we are on our finishing point on the summit of Mount Cheget, at an altitude of 3500. The weather is bad, everything around is covered with clouds, hail and rain. But, in principle, something is visible. Here I am now, for example, I see a waterfall Girlish braids, the observatory, lake Donguz-Orun and the people standing around me. They feel good, they drink tea. And I think I will join them, because it will be warmer and more interesting.
That’s all... I go to drink tea. Adios!

This is a guide of the Seven Summits Club Andrei Berezin. Today we climbed the western summit of Elbrus. The weather today was very bad. But two members of the whole group coped with this difficult task, and climbed to the top. They are: Tertychnyi Alexander and Tertychnyi Sergey. The rest of the group ... a part came to the saddle, a part .... After that we all went down together. ... And now they will think about new climbs.

Today - the day of departure of the Elbrus group of our guide Vladimir Kotlyar. The impressions they leave on the social networks.

"All day we went on the nearby trails - from Narzan Meadow to Terskol. According to conservative estimates, we went 12 km.
In the evening, our guide Volodya gave us certificates and T-shirts of the 7 Summits Club "for participation in the ascent" ...
The evening was ended in the distinctive restaurant "Captain Pitt", as it should be - fiery dances ....
In the morning we did a walking to the waterfall "Maiden's braids" in the hills above Terskol.
The weather was quite cool, we decided not to take fresh ice bath.
Distance traveled: 14 km, gained altitude from 2100 m to 2785 m.
And now ... to home!

May 6 was the day of the mass ascent on Elbrus. And that day had the most favorable weather conditions. Yes, there was a full visibility, but it was a terrible cold. Old-timers say so cold in May was never before. So the climb for our team was not sweet walk. The team reached the top at four, one of the members did not have the strength to a finish effort. We think there was not enough acclimatization. But it was impossible to postpone the climbing. In the following days, the weather forecast is much worse.

Photos taken this morning by Dima Yermakov:

We tried to act according to the program, but yesterday morning it was reported that Lhasa we will not be allowed in the near future to Everest. Therefore, we have made changes. Now I bring you greetings from the area of Mount Elbrus already!

This site propose fairly short and concise statement of the facts from different areas of knowledge. Elbrus is described briefly and in half of the cases with errors and inaccuracies. However, the final part of the text pleased us. Here facts are basically correct and the name of our leader Alexander Abramov rightly inscribed in the history of the mountain.

“1997

Russian Alexander Abramov guided a ten man expedition, where a Land Rover was driven to the peak. It took 43 days to accomplish this goal, but there were a lot of struggles that had to be overcome. They had to change tyres and utilize winches to pull the vehicle up and it was a continuous cycle of ascending and descending the mountain to retrieve replacement parts that had got damaged. After a lot of sweat and tears they finally reached the peak on September 13, 1997. The Land Rover was abandoned after an attempt down, when they lost control. They later returned to fetch it, but found it too difficult. It still sits in the same spot today and can be seen by other climbers and adventurers”.

In 2013 Italian architectural firm LEAPfactory has constructed a new energy-efficient hotel on the southern glacier of Mount Elbrus, in Russia's Caucasus mountain range. Generally considered the highest peak in Europe, Mount Elbrus has a summit of 5,642 m (18,510 ft). The hotel in question is located 3,912 m (12,834 ft) above sea level, hence its name: LEAPrus 3912.

Depending on your point of view, Mount Elbrus could be considered the highest peak in Euro...LEAPrus 3912 features a 8.6 kw photovoltaic system and a solar thermal system, both comple...The modules boast 46 beds, a living area, restaurant area with kitchen, toilets, reception...The hotel has an expected lifespan of 50 years.

The hotel has a total area of 139 sq m (1,500 sq ft), and comprises four prefabricated modules, which were constructed in Italy before being shipped over to Russia and deposited on the mountainside by helicopter. The modules were then assembled and made operational over a few days in July. They boast 46 beds, a living area, restaurant area with kitchen, toilets, reception, and staff accommodation. The hotel has an expected lifespan of 50 years.

Given the remote location, and the expense and technical difficulty of receiving supplies, it makes good sense to ensure that LEAPrus 3912 is as energy-efficient as possible, and LEAPfactory did indeed install a range of technology to bring this about.

LEAPrus 3912 features a 8.6 kWp photovoltaic system and a solar thermal system, both complemented by a standard gas-burning generator, efficient LED lighting, and an underfloor heating system that's designed for low-temperature usage.

An efficient ventilation system helps mitigate heating requirements, and a sewage plant designed for high-altitude usage has been installed that promises almost 100 percent recycling of human waste. The hotel also sports an integrated system that melts the ample quantities of snow to supply water to sanitation services.

The energy-efficient tech is managed by an energy monitoring system, that in turn is regulated by a computer that can be remotely controlled via satellite.

LEAPrus 3912 was constructed for the North Caucasus Mountain Club, and opened for business last month.
