Why Climb Mount Elbrus with the Mountain Adventure Company
Alexey Shustrov our Russian partner high on Kasbek
We believe that the itinerary we have developed offers our teams the best chance of success climbing Mount Elbrus. Acclimatisation for the ascent of any high altitude peak is one of the most important parts of the trip. Our itinerary allows you to acclimatise on the mountain getting used to the altitude and your surroundings.
We offer a number of programs from different sides of the mountain, the North is favourite being away from the crowds but with a good hut from which to launch our summit bid. If you are interested in something a bit different you may be interested in our Elbrus from the west program. Currently we are the only western company offering ascents from this side. You can find all the current dates and prices here.
We would also like to offer a unique chance to climb Kasbek 5033m and Elbrus 5642m in one 16 day trip. We can only offer this as a private trip at the moment but if we have any definite departure dates we will advertise them on the site.If you are interested in our Kasbek and Elbrus climb you can download the information here.
