Elbrus North 2020

This is an 11 day guided expedition to climb the north side of Elbrus between 24 Jun and 4 Jul 2020 (ignore Meetup dates). We will be using Exped Adventure and it will cost £2000 (including £100 discount), but excluding costs for flights, travel insurance, visas, tips.

This will be a bespoke trip for 3 Peaks and Beyond members.

Elbrus is one of the 'Seven Summits' and North route is the more adventurous route. We start at the valley floor and walk through wilderness to reach the summit. It will involve ice axe and crampons, but is suitable as a beginners introduction to winter mountaineering.

The angle of ascent isn't steep and the crevasses are small, however, summit day is a tough 12-18+ hour day with 2000m of ascent. We will do the trip in true expedition style carrying all our gear between Base and High Camp.

As part of the trip there is a training weekend to ensure we have the appropriate training for high altitude mountaineering and glacial travel. The dates for this will be agreed at a later date.

A deposit of £350 is required by 30 Sep 19. Exped Adventure need a booking form filling in per person:
