The main reasons people fail to summit Elbrus is due to poor acclimatisation and bad weather. The acclimatisation program we have designed gives you the best chance of being properly prepared for your ascent by developing and improving your mountaineering skills while getting fit and acclimatised. We have no control over the weather but we have programmed in a two day window for the summit attempt. We also have enough days in the program that we can shift the summit attempt to earlier in the trip if everyone is going well and weather dictates that this is the best period for a summit attempt.
