1 RUSSIA Elbrus
2 RUSSIA Elbrus Mount Elbrus is the highest peak in Russia and Europe and although many mountaineers visit the area to climb the mountain, there are also many other attractions here. On the higher reaches, skiing is accessible all year round. If you are looking for something less challenging, there are many easier treks nearby and chair lifts to take in the mountainous scenery. Mount Elbrus is the two-headed cone of a dormant volcano and is situated 11km north of the Main Caucasian Chain. It is connected to the Main Caucasus Ridge by the Khotiutau ridge. The highest summit is the western summit at 5642m. The eastern summit is 5621m. Elbrus is composed of both hard crystalline rocks and magmatic intrusions. In the surrounding valleys, mineral springs are quite common and in a few places sulphurous fumes escape out through fissures, often deep under the ice cover. Most of the slopes (up to a height of 4000m) are not too steep. Lower slopes reach a gradient of up to 35 but are interspersed with many rock bands (some m high), crevasses and ice falls on the southern, northern and western slopes. Eastern slopes are less broken. At 4100m the unique two-storied mountain hut (Diesel Hut) is located. About people can stay in the building. It is easily reached by using the cable car and chairlift system up to 3800m. Above this, it is sometimes possible to hire a snow cat to save on the two hour glacier walk up to the hut. The ascent of Elbrus is technically easy but requires the use of crampons over short sections (never over a gradient of 40 ). Allow 6-7 hours and beware of rapid weather deterioration which can make route finding very difficult and the conditions arctic.
3 ITINERARY DAYS I-2 - We will depart from the UK and make our way to Min Vody Airport via Moscow. There will then be a drive to our hotel (about 3,5 hours) in Baksan Valley near Elbrus at the altitude of 2100m. DAY 3 - Today will consist of an acclimatisation walk in the Terskol Valley up to the Observatory (3100m). There will be 4hrs of walking up, providing a very close and magnificent view of Mt. Elbrus. We will pass the wonderful waterfall called The virgin s hair on the way before returning to our hotel. DAY 4 - We will walk to the Mount Cheget spur (3100m) where there is a magnificent viewpoint over Elbrus. There will be about 4 hours of walking upwards. We ll return to the hotel for some rest (it is possible to use a chair lift for getting down). DAY 5 - Today we will transfer to Terskol, climb the Ice Base (3550m) and then descent back to Terskol before getting a transfer to our hotel. DAY 8- Summit day. We begin in the early morning hours to ascend the highest of Elbrus twin peaks - the West Summit. We will carry our day packs with all the day s requirements. We return to spend the night at the Barrels hut once more. DAY 9 - This is a spare day to attempt the Elbrus summit if the weather on the previous day was bad. Overnight in the hut. DAY 10 - We will make our return to the hotel to relax and get some well-earned rest. DAY 11 - We will drive to the airport in Mineralnye Vody for the flight home. DAY 12 - Arrive back in the UK. DAY 6 - We take the cable car up to the Mir station, (3500m) then the chair lift to Garabashi station, (3800m). Our accommodation will be in the Barrels hut. After arrival, we will take part in an acclimatisation walk to the Priut hut at (4100m) before making our way back to Barrels hut. DAY 7- To ensure we are ready for summit, today we will have another acclimatisation walk to Pastukhova Rocks (4700m). There will be a 3-hour ascent. We will then make our way back to Barrels hut.
