“Andrey Berezin, guide of the 7 Summits Club from the Elbrus area: We were silent for several days. Today we have something to say! After several days of waiting for a weather window, on June 5, in severe weather conditions, the group named “Platoon of easy Behavior” climbed the Western summit of Elbrus.
“Wind, snow, frost – all this did not affect the mood of the participants. At 8: 30, the first part of the group was at the top.”
