Useful info for climbing mount Elbrus. Breakdown of climbing schedule, accommodation, route and more.

We made our attempt to summit mount Elbrus in the summer of 2018 over the course of 5 days. Although it's not the tallest mountain in the world, climbing mount Elbrus can prove challenging. This video goes over the challenges that we experienced such as altitude sickness, poor weather conditions and battling with the elements.


More details:
Mount Elbrus is the highest mountain in Europe and Russia, and the tenth most prominent peak in the world. As such mount Elbrus is also one of the seven summits (highest mountains on each continent). A dormant volcano, mount Elbrus is located in the Caucasus Mountains in Southern Russia, near the border with Georgia. Mount Elbrus has two summits, both of which are dormant volcanic domes.

We took the south route with the lifts from Azau up to the Barrel huts. We also stayed in Priut 11 for 2 days before the summit attempt. We had a week to make it to the top of mount Elbrus with 3 days to spare for a summit attempt in case of bad weather or other issues. The video goes over, in detail, all days of our climb.
