Climbing Mount Elbrus, North Side Route (10 days)

Mount Elbrus is a majestic peak lying in the spectacular Caucasus Mountains in Russia. It is the highest peak in Europe and one of the Seven Summits. I invite you to join me on this Mount Elbrus 10-day ascent via the North side, a tougher and less traveled route than the classical southern route.

Elbrus is not a technically difficult mountain to climb, but it may have a hard weather, including freezing temperatures and strong winds. The mountain has two almost identical peaks, the east summit at 5,621m and the west summit at 5,642m.

The North side route has a reputation of being more adventurous than other routes to the summit and it is a more isolated area. However, because of this, the peace and quietness of this region cannot be matched.

From the Mineralnye Vody Airport, we will head towards the city of Pyatigorsk, and from there to Emmanuel Glade, where we will begin our ascent to Base Camp. You can check below the day-by-day itinerary. 

During our ascent, we will make some accclimatization ascents, in order to be prepared for the altitude change. It will also give us the chance to admire  spectacular landscapes along the way.

So if you are looking to challenge yourself with a unique ascent, send me a request! Check the dates below and join a group for an amazing Elbrus climb. You could also check out my profile and see other ascent options for Mount Elbrus.

I work together with a group of guides, so if I’m not available, one of my colleagues will guide you.
