Elbrus 2009 Expedition

We went to Russia with a sole objective - a quick climb to the higher – western – summit of Elbrus (5642m), which happens to be also the highest point of our old continent.

Our intention was to try to get to the summit by an alternative route via Kupol, but a difficult acclimatisation in the Alps, which took away more strengths from us than we would have liked, together with somewhat unfavourable weather in Russia, forced us to take the standard route from the south, including the use of the system of connecting cableways.
