Let us work out how you should go about Elbrus
The consultation is free. Sergey Baranov will look at your experience, your fitness, your dates and your goal, help you choose a programme, or tell you honestly what you should change first.
What we will work through
Your first big mountain
Whether Elbrus suits you with no mountaineering experience, how long you need to prepare, and which programme a first-timer should choose.
An attempt that did not work out
What may have got in the way last time: pace, acclimatisation, the programme, equipment, weather or too few spare days.
Choosing a route
How the south, the north, the traverse, both summits and the Cross of Elbrus differ in effort, logistics and what they ask of you.
A private trip
How to put together a programme for a couple, a family, a group of friends or a team, with the right dates, pace, accommodation and number of guides.
How it works
Your age, your experience, your highest altitude, possible dates and your main question.
On Telegram, on WhatsApp or by phone, whichever suits you.
A programme that fits, a preparation plan, or an honest recommendation not to rush into it yet.
What to tell us before we talk
Experience and condition
Your age, your highest altitude, past treks and climbs, your current training, any limitations you know about and how you react to altitude.
Plans
Possible dates, who is coming with you, the level of comfort you want, the programmes you are considering and your main doubts.
