Mt. Elbrus ascent

 

Elbrus, the highest summit of Europe

 

MT. ELBRUS 2001 EXPEDITIONS

End of June Maura Reinolds, a reporter from "Los Angeles Times" has climbed mt.Elbrus to the top and wrote a story about Balkarians, people, who live around the top of Europe. Photographer Paul Miller helped as a camera man and made some very good shots that you can enjoy seeing below. "Wild Russia" was very pleased to assist logistics for this trip and guide the team. Read the story at www.latimes.com.

Tom Milne and "Mountain Madness" came again to mt.Elbrus for climbing and snowboarding with "Wild Russia". The snowboarders liked very much a playground installed at the Barrels Hut and descended almost from the Elbrus saddle.
